Did Reform field AI candidates? 17:03 - Jul 8 with 11573 viewsZx1988

Just came across this on Twitter, and it certainly poses some interesting questions:



Some interesting responses to the original Tweet, alleging similar concerns about other Reform candidates in other constituencies.

With regards to "Mark Matlock" he didn't even attend his count because, apparently, he had pneumonia.

From a cynical point of view, they certainly spoke to *someone* who, allegedly, doesn't own a suitable tie and of whom no other photographs exist.


That was what I thought. I assume they had more than just someone's denials. Anyway, there appear to be multiple Reform candidates who don't appear to have any trace anywhere other than as standing as Reform candidates, so assume there will be an investigation. If a candidate lost due to votes which went to a non-existent candidate (accidentally typed condidate, which seems appropriate), can they call for a rerun? Probably not been tested before. I assume, if the situation is as it appears to be, this will end up in the courts in a number of ways.

Certainly can be challenged, by a voter or a candidate.

Whether there is the possibility of a re-run I'm unsure.

The returning officer is responsible for validating candidate credentials as far as I'm aware so if there is anything in this there are further potential ramifications.

And, of course, attempting to incite a pile-on upon accounts who have the temerity to ask for a selfie is clearly a perfectly legitimate response from a man who definitely, 100%, for realsies guv, exists...

This would be another issue if the situation is as believed and would presumably be why it was done.

My first thought too - thanks for Putin the suggestion out there. It’s an interesting case, and perhaps we shouldn’t be Russian to conclusions.

Guardian have spoken to him as well, so Mark Matlock appears to be real.

Questions over 30 candidates, according to Byline Times.

Every Reform candidate is definitely a real person. The company masquerading as a political party gave all their details to that vetting organisation that then did nothing with the information.

What would possibly be the benefit to a company masquerading as a political party to put up as many candidates as possible (real or otherwise) in order to attract a large amount of inward state funding which the largest shareholder of that company masquerading as a political party could then decide what to do with?

Interesting wording there. Suggests to me that Byline Times might still have certain doubts about Mr Matlock.

Not quite, though, is it.

One apparently debunked, yet questions remain over many others. Reform Ltd can spin this however they like, but they still have serious questions to answer.

What is it about the limited company run by grifting multi-millionaire racists and anti-semites, and employs homophobes, islamophobes, mysogenists, and actual Nazis, that particularly appeals to you?

Again fake news. Members of the Labour Party, Tories and SNP have been convicted of sexual assault in the past. Does that make every one of their MPs or voters sexual predators? No it doesn’t. As for millionaires, one is donating his entire salary to charity. Corbyn, millionaire doesn’t do this,

I didn’t vote for reform but I find their supporters much more pleasant people to have a pint with, and a lot less violent and authoritarian. They also oppose the Jew marches that have happened over London where gangs have ran around the streets searching for Jews to assault.

The media tell me that reform are the biggest threat to this country, yet they seem to be the most peaceful and willing to have a conversation.

I think that describing both Rupert Lowe and Jeremy Corbyn as equivalent 'millionaires' is a bit rich. One has had a moderately successful business career firstly in the City and then other sectors, the other's "wealth" is largely based on the fact that he owns a house in a part of the country where property prices have gone completely bonkers in the past 20 years. His MP's salary is part of how he pays his bills. If Lowe gave up his business interests and other sources of income he'd probably not be donating his MP salary to charity (and lets see which ones they are and how much they actually get before lauding him for it).

Both privately educated though.

Perhaps. I saw another tweet where he hadn't spoken to them but had with Private Eye and The Guardian. Think they may be questioning the 'missed the count as he was in hospital with pneumonia' claim.

I've not seen any proper rebuttal from Reform, other than their bleating that it was all an eSTaBlisHmENt stITcH-uP.

It's not for Channel 4 to prove that the chap was who he claimed to be, it's for Reform UK Limited to prove that he wasn't one of their supporters.

So far they've offered zero evidence to disprove either this, or the allegations that a number of their candidates didn't exist. I'll trust media outlets such as Channel 4 over and above Putin-loving racist/sexist/anti-semitic grifters such as Führage and Tice any day of the week,
