If shown to be true, the election would be brought entirely in to disrepute and would need to be re-run.

Lots didn’t attend the counts it appears
All very interesting
I’m sure oday is correct that they could have stood 650 candidates but it looks dodgy so many just not attending

Surely ID needs to be shown and changed before people can stand in elections??

Indont think you do looking at this:

I have to say, if photo ID is required to cast a vote it should definitely be required to stand as a candidate.

Would be funny if the party complaining about voter fraud had committed electoral fraud itself however I think a lot of it comes down to candidates who got disowned by the party after Farage came in but too late to be taken off the ballot as Reform candidates.

It would be incredibly backwards not to, wouldn't it!

I mean I tend to be with the argument that if you can get 8,000 to vote for you in a seat, you can find 605 real people to stand as MPs. I mean, if they won what would happen after all?!?

If for some reason it *was* true, not quite sure what it would say that 8,000 people would vte for an imaginary person who says nothing and does nothing!

It’s just as likely to be entirely fake news, by a bot - or not - trying to be disruptive. I’m astonished that the mainstream media isn’t all over this. Reform can easily refute this if it isn’t true.

If it proved to be true, there would surely be jail time ( obviously only 25% of the sentence to be served) and a re-run of the election.

They are suggesting multiple non existent candidates. Not all of them were in hospital with pneumonia.

Probably fake news,

If Reform were running fake candidates someone other than an obscure twitter account would be running with it

It's (almost) certainly some butt hurt leftists that can't deal with Reform getting some votes, so they've started this quite strange story.

Then you've got some people that want to be accepted and validated by the leftist cliques that are spreading it round.

All a bit weird.

Looks like Private Eye picked up on this last week and managed to speak to him. The photo is AI generated but “because he did not have a photo of him in a turquoise tie”.
