On June 30, 2024, black journalist Femi Oluwole was removed from a Reform UK rally in Birmingham by security guards despite showing his press card. The guards stated they 'didn't know' why he was not allowed to attend the event. This incident occurred during Farage's 'biggest campaign rally.' Oluwole had also bought a ticket for the event. Reform UK has faced allegations of racism, and this incident may further fuel those claims.
