In Thursday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Reform UK’s Danny Kruger to discuss the party’s decision to report ITV to the police over its undercover sting. The MP for East Wiltshire claims that “the law has been flagrantly broken, as in this case, outrageous deception by ITV, including breaking electoral law, pretending to be canvassers”.Kruger, Reform UK’s head of policy, who is helping prepare the party for government, also claimed that the party was facing a concerted campaign against it from the press, trade unions and even the House of Lords. He called on Conservatives and their voters to back Reform as the only realistic way for the Right to win at the next general election.Amid a series of high-profile scandals and expulsions, Camilla asked Kruger whether the greatest threat to Reform’s bid for government came from within the party itself.An ITV spokesman said: “ITV stands by its journalism. The programme Undercover: A Year In Reform was produced in compliance with the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, relevant laws, and its broadcast is in the public interest.“All journalists were instructed to operate within this framework, and did so under the supervision of the programme’s producers. Should the police get in touch, we would fully cooperate.”The Telegraph is the Publisher Podcast Awards' Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!
