Farage claims ‘whitewash’ after police find no evidence of Gorton family voting

Nigel Farage has hit out at Greater Manchester Police’s decision to conclude a probe into so-called family voting in the Gorton and Denton by-election after finding no evidence of the illegal practice. The Reform UK leader claimed there had been an “establishment whitewash” after the force said there was “no remaining reasonable line of inquiry” following an investigation. Election observer group Democracy Volunteers said it had witnessed “concerningly high levels” of family voting, whereby a person enters a polling booth with someone else or otherwise directs their vote.
