Reform UK has said the charging of two men in after a disturbance at Manchester Airport was “long overdue”.
After the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) charged two men with assaulting police and said no officers would face charges, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and deputy leader Richard Tice said: “Today’s charges against two men for assaulting police officers at Manchester Airport have been long overdue.
“It’s obvious the CPS have only charged the attackers today because of the pressure applied by Reform UK MPs.”
They said they expect a parallel investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) to “exonerate” the police officers.
“Nothing less will be acceptable.”
