“Nigel Farage is a household name and we welcome his endorsement as the best pro-union candidate in our constituencies. Nigel knows us and knows our record of delivering for the people.
This is a very embarrassing for Jim Allister as the Reform UK Leader has endorsed us rather than him because the Reform UK Leader recognised that on the big issues we could be relied upon.
Some people know how to build relationships and deliver results, others just talk about the problems.
The Electoral Commission has ruled that the “TUV-Reform UK” description is misleading. With the Reform UK Leader now backing me, its clear the TUV-Reform UK relationship is non-existent.
In light of this development, it is time that TUV stopped trying to fool the voters by using Reform UK branding and logos when it is clear that the Leader of Reform UK is not supporting TUV.
Its time for TUV to drop the Reform UK branding.”
