Why is there a witchhunt against Nigel Farage and Reform UK? - Yorkshire Post Letters

From: Peter Auty, Sunnybank, Great Hatfield.

There is a definite witch hunt taking place with regards to Nigel Farage and the Reform Party, mainly from the Remain fraternity and the Labour party.

This can't be down to the fact that Nigel Farage was the instigator of the Brexit referendum and successful withdrawal of the UK from the EU, can it?

I was of the thinking that in the UK you are innocent until proven guilty, seems as though certain parties don't agree.

There is an ongoing inquiry into the affairs of both the Reform party and Nigel Farage's personal affairs, these should be allowed to conclude before accusations are bandied about without foundations.

Presupposition is a terrible thing in the wrong hands and creates more questions than answers. The powers that be should be allowed to proceed with the inquiries without harassment from outside influences who are presuming something of which they have no knowledge has taken place.

I feel sure the inquiry personnel will come to the correct decisions in due course, whatever the outcome, the result should be accepted with good grace by all parties.
