REFROM UK VOWS TO RESTORE PRIDE IN THE ENGLISH LANGAUGE

Reform's candidate in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election sent voters a letter that bravely avoided mentioning Reform anywhere in the text – then signed off, at the bottom, as 'Refrom UK'. The party that wants everyone to speak proper English can presumably now be expected to take back control of the letters R, E, F, O and M, in whatever order they land. Spellcheck has been reported to the Home Office for being foreign.

THE BORING BIT: WHAT THE REAL REPORT SAYS

A letter from Reform's Holborn and St Pancras by-election candidate to constituents printed the party's name as 'Refrom UK' at the bottom; the body of the letter did not mention Reform at all (first reported by Metro).

Our short summary of the original – read the full report for context. Everything above it is satire.
