Nigel Farage has hit back at Kemi Badenoch’s claims that the Reform UK’s membership ticker is “fake.”
The Tory leader had taken to social media to accuse Reform of ‘manipulating’ its members over the counter, which showed the party had overtaken the Conservatives.
Badenoch wrote on X: “Manipulating your own supporters at Xmas, Nigel? It’s not real. It’s a fake…coded to tick up automatically. We’ve been watching the back end for days and can also see they’ve just changed the code to link to a different site as people point this out.
“Farage doesn’t understand the digital age. This kind of fakery gets found out pretty quickly, although not before many are fooled…like many of you, I am sick of the endless lies, smoke and mirrors, stuff and nonsense politics.”

Now, party leader Nigel Farage has hit back over the claims, saying: “Kemi says I don’t understand the digital age. I have 5.4 million followers and she has 320k.
“We understand you are bitter, upset and angry that we are now the second biggest party in British politics, and that the Conservative brand is dying under your leadership.
“However, this not an excuse to accuse us of committing fraud. We will gladly invite one of the Big Foue firms in to audit our membership numbers as long as you do the same.
“We have heard from many whistleblowers that will swear under affidavits that ballots were sent out to long expired or resigned ex-members.”
