"Public revulsion at Tate and his followers has caused some in Reform to warn that associating themselves with these kinds of figures could weaken the party's appeal to female voters and the broader electorate."
"Yes, I have advised Nigel and others to be more careful about who we associate with if we are to win over a broader section of British society, we cannot be linked to unpopular characters or people who have made unsavoury comments about women."
"I am quite familiar with him and what he's like, I look at his social media. He is nothing to do with Reform. We can't help it if people that we don't particularly want around us endorse us."
Reform insiders express concern over the party's association with Andrew Tate and other extreme online figures. They believe this connection could damage the party's credibility and alienate female voters. As Reform prepares for potential power, there is a push to sever ties with controversial personalities. Nigel Farage's previous reluctance to criticize Tate is under scrutiny, especially as Tate faces serious legal issues. Insiders warn that maintaining such associations could hinder the party's broader appeal in British society.
