Police appeal to woman after Reform UK audience row
West Midlands Police are seeking the woman after footage showed Reform UK supporters pulling her hair and grabbing her head during a conference disruption.
- On Saturday, West Midlands Police appealed for a protester to come forward after video footage from the Reform UK conference in Birmingham showed audience members physically assaulting a woman during her removal.
- Protesters challenged party leader Nigel Farage over a controversial £5 million 'gift' he received and allegations that Reform breached donation rules by using foreign funding for polling costing £32,500.
- During the disruption, Farage laughed and called the protester a 'screamer,' while the woman told LBC News she experienced the 'worst handling' she had ever faced, including being pulled by her hair.
- Reform confirmed that head of policy James Orr and aide Dan Jukes have stepped down pending an investigation into the party's conduct during the conference.
- Activist group Climate Resistance claimed responsibility for the protest, one of four such disruptions during the event, stating they were 'horrified at the violence' exhibited by conference attendees toward demonstrators.
