Reform insiders fear links to extreme figures such as Andrew Tate will scare off voters

Nigel Farage has called Tate an important voice' for young men and held back from criticising his misogynistic views

Reform insiders are becoming increasingly irritated by the party's association with Andrew Tate and other extreme online celebrities whose views are too toxic for the mainstream voters Nigel Farage needs to win over.

Insiders have revealed that as Reform prepare for power they are trying to end their association with more controversial figures on the right such as Tate, whose extreme and misogynistic content could taint the party's credibility.
