Reform UK is facing increased scrutiny as it prepares to hold its party conference, according to BBC political editor Chris Mason.
Mason said the party's continued political prominence has brought "what prominence always brings: scrutiny," suggesting that Reform UK's growing profile in British politics is now inviting closer examination of its positions and conduct.
The comments come as the party gathers for its conference, a key event where political parties typically outline policy positions and address members and supporters.
Further details on the specific nature of the scrutiny facing Reform UK, or the agenda for the conference, were not immediately available.
