Reform UK’s ‘Farage Fest’ went ahead without permission from council

Reform UK held a rally dubbed 'Farage Fest' celebrating leader Nigel Farage's Clacton by-election victory without obtaining the necessary permission from the local council, potentially putting organizers at risk of enforcement action. The event was originally denied an events license, raising questions about compliance with local regulations. This incident underscores ongoing tensions between political groups and local authorities regarding public gatherings and the enforcement of licensing laws.
