Leader Richard Tice says he is pleased corporation has apologised but calls
claim a tactic to ‘smear’ the party
The corporation made the claim during a report about the Liberal Democrats’
spring conference, in which it referred to Reform surging ahead of Sir Ed
Davey’s party in the opinion polls.
Although Reform is to the Right of the Conservative Party on issues including
legal and illegal immigration and the tax burden, it has previously said its
political aims are not motivated by political ideology.
Richard Tice, the leader of Reform, told The Telegraph that while he was
pleased the BBC had apologised, the error “shouldn’t have happened in the
first place”.
“This is a tactic that certain news organisations are going to try, which is to
smear and label not only the party but by direct implication myself and other
senior figures,” he said.
Reform has promised to ditch the BBC licence fee, which currently stands
at £159 per year but will increase by £10.50, a rise of 6.6 per cent, in April.

The vile BBC call Reform "far right" but won't describe Terror group Hamas as terrorists.
Says it all about this dreadful organisation
