Reform UK believes that its own members are the biggest threat to the party, and has warned them not to ‘drink and tweet’, leaked training videos show.
The videos, seen by Byline Times, also advise party canvassers to ignore ‘no junk mail’ signs and to deliver leaflets anyway and to avoid wearing any party branding whilst doing so, in order to make the activists “unidentifiable.”
Byline Times reports: “In one presentation, Reform activists are told: “The fact is, the biggest threat to Reform is people in it and itself. It’s not the Tories, it’s not Labour, the establishment is going to throw everything at us. The biggest chance of things going wrong is stuff like infighting, stuff like people just saying and doing stupid stuff. That’s our biggest risk.”
“Local campaigners for the party are also told: “Treat every social media post like a press release, if this was sat on the desk of an anti Reform journalist, what are they going to do with it?”
“Don’t drink and tweet. If there is any doubt, just don’t post it.”
That’s how much faith Reform have in their own party members.
