NIGEL Farage has hit out at an “establishment whitewash” after cops decided to end a probe into ‘family voting’ at a recent by-election.
The Reform UK leader vented his anger after Greater Manchester Police found no evidence of the illegal practice.
They had spoken to observers and obtained CCTV from three polling stations after last month’s Gorton and Denton vote.
Election group Democracy Volunteers said it had witnessed “concerningly high levels” of the tactic where a person enters a polling booth with another and directs their vote.
Mr Farage said: “Frankly, this is exactly the kind of establishment whitewash people are sick to death of.
“This isn’t good enough.
“We need proper oversight, real accountability and the courage to admit when something isn’t right, not another brushed-under-the-carpet report from the usual suspects.”
The Green Party candidate Hannah Spencer stormed to victory in the Gordon and Denton constituency with 14,980 votes, nearly 41 percent of all votes cast.
Matt Goodwin, standing for Reform came in second with 10,578 votes, equating to a 28.7 percent share.
Labour‘s Angeliki Stogia was third with 9,364 votes, a 25.4 percent share of all votes cast.
That was down from 18,555 in the 2024 general election.
