Farage defends Reform's vetting after councillors filmed making racist comments
The Reform leader says "you can't vet for future comments", after undercover filming of party activists.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center the same development, with Reform UK under criticism after ITV filmed councillors or candidates making racist and extreme comments. The Guardian US foregrounds the wider fallout, including a fresh crisis, three councillors quitting, and the footage exposing violence, misogyny and racist views. BBC News is more restrained and uniquely highlights Reform’s statement that those filmed are under investigation after resigning or being suspended.
