Reform has reported ITV journalists to the police. It alleges an undercover reporter doctored her passport to get a job as a Reform press officer, and that two reporters were paid by ITV to canvass in Portsmouth. No arrests or charges yet, and ITV hasn't responded. It's good that it's been reported. Here's what police would look at if those allegations are proven: - Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981, ss. 1 and 3: making or using a false instrument. Up to 10 years. - Identity Documents Act 2010, s. 4: a false ID document with improper intention. Up to 10 years. - Fraud Act 2006, ss. 1 and 2: fraud by false representation, for example to get a job. Up to 10 years. - Representation of the People Act 1983, s. 111: paying someone to canvass for a candidate is illegal. A fine, and proceedings normally must start within a year (extendable to two). Intent and dishonesty must be proven; that's for police and the CPS. But journalism isn't a licence to break the law, if that's what happened. If a Reform activist had done this to ITV, we'd never hear the end of it. Zia's right: nobody is above the law. Investigate it properly.
