Ben Goldsborough MP asked Norfolk Reform leader David Bick to withdraw the whip from Karl Catchpole. More than three months later, Bick replied that doing so would be “unwarranted and a waste of my time and that of my colleagues”.

Reform UK Ltd : "Counter Terror Police won’t let Farage on stage" West Midlands Police : "We can confirm that Counter Terrorism Policing have had no involvement" www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...

17:03 4 September

Chris Mason
Political editor

"Counter terror won’t let him on stage yet” a senior Reform figure says, explaining the delay in Nigel Farage’s speech at the Reform UK conference.

20:08 4 September

Jack Fenwick
Political correspondent

West Midlands Police say the decision to delay Nigel Farage's conference speech "was made by Reform UK".

A senior Reform figure earlier told the BBC that Farage's speech was delayed because "counter terror won't let him on stage yet".

But West Midlands Police say: "We can confirm that Counter Terrorism Policing have had no involvement in the delivery of the Reform UK Party Conference 2026."
