Ofcom to investigate Sky over ‘harassment’ of Farage’s daughter
The regulator is reviewing whether Sky News breached privacy and fairness rules after Reform UK complained about a reporter’s visit.
- Regulator Ofcom launched a formal investigation into Sky News today following a complaint from Reform regarding a reporter's visit to the home of Nigel Farage's daughter on July 6.
- Farage accused Sky News of 'harassing' his daughter after releasing CCTV footage appearing to show two approaches to the property, saying he was 'appalled' by how his family were treated.
- Sky News denied interacting with Farage's daughter, stating it approached the property once without a camera operator and sought to contact Farage regarding a £5 million gift from Christopher Harborne.
- Farage faces a Parliament standards investigation regarding the £5 million gift accepted from Harborne, alongside potential scrutiny over support provided by George Cottrell.
- Regulator Ofcom treats fairness and privacy complaints in strict confidence and will not publicly confirm identities involved, as the probe determines whether journalistic practices during the visit crossed privacy thresholds.
