Reform UK's post-election party for Nigel Farage in Clacton is being investigated by the local council for not getting permission in time. Tendring District Council said it refused a Late Temporary Event Notice because the application was made after the deadline. A fine or a prison sentence could be imposed on organisers if the council decides to prosecute.
