Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has asked for help identifying the originators of a series of social media posts on X that used doctored images to depict a confrontation between him and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage; the posts have circulated widely in recent weeks. Bailey said the material is unquestionably fabricated and the Bank has raised concerns with Reform UK and X. The posts linked to a fake BBC report falsely claiming Farage confronted Bailey on a BBC programme that never aired, included fabricated quotes accusing Bailey of driving up living costs, and promoted an AI-driven investment platform. Farage denied involvement. Reform UK has long criticised the Bank under Bailey, including its bond-sales programme and proposed stablecoin regulations.
