The Reform Part’s Google Ads account was suspended on Saturday without warning
Nigel Farage, the leader of UK party Reform, appeared to be on the receiving end of Big Tech censorship yesterday, a little over a week from the UK’s general election.
Farage took to Twitter to reveal that his party’s ad account had been suspended by Google.
“Big Tech giant @Google has BLOCKED our Ad Accounts,” he wrote.
“They are trying to stop the Reform message.”

His replies were flooded with messages of support.
“They don’t want Europe rising up,” wrote one user.
Another referenced Farage’s recent comments about the war in Ukraine, and NATO’s part in provoking it, as a possible reason for the suspension.
“You were right about Ukraine, Nigel. They are going to throw everything at your now to stop a revolt. Just don’t give up.”
About an hour and a half later, however, Farage was back on Twitter to announce that Google had reinstated the party’s ad account.
“A big victory!” he Tweeted.
Reform has surged in the polls in recent weeks after Farage’s shock return to frontline British politics. Reform is consistently polling at around 20%, making it the second most popular party in the UK, ahead of the Conservatives. Despite the party’s popularity, it is unlikely to win the second largest number of seats in Parliament, due to the way the country’s first-past-the-post electoral system works.
