Reform UK leader Nigel Farage endorses Sammy Wilson and Ian Paisley.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he will be personally endorsing two DUP candidates in the general election - despite his party's alliance with the rival Traditional Unionist Voice .
Mr Paisley is the DUP candidate in North Antrim, where he will be challenged by TUV leader Jim Allister.TUV leader Jim Allister said his party entered an electoral arrangement with Reform UK "in good faith" and called Mr Farage's move "disappointing".The TUV applied to run its candidates under a joint banner of "TUV/Reform UK" on ballot papers, but that was rejected by the Electoral Office so it is running under “TUV no sea border”.
A photograph of Mr Farage alongside Mr Paisley delivering his endorsement also appears on the DUP candidate's election leaflet.They said "Nigel Farage is a household name and we welcome his endorsement as the best pro-union candidate in our constituencies. Nigel knows us and knows our record of delivering for the people.
