Farage is lying to Congress. He has banned journalists from his events. @bylinetimes.bsky.social, @desmog.com, @thenewworldmag.bsky.social and others were banned from Reform UK’s conference in Sept 2024 - even after buying tickets. @femi-oluwole.bsky.social was also removed from a Reform UK event.

@jamesrball.com and @writesbright.bsky.social have confirmed they're also banned from this year's Reform UK national conference. They were informed today. So Farage explicitly told Congress that he doesn't ban journalists from Reform events on the exact day that he banned journalists from events.
