“Vote Reform UK” and “Only Reform UK has a real plan for Britain” are just a couple of the statements that an account on X has been posting every few hours since the election began.
The BBC has discovered that numerous accounts on X, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, including GenZBloomer, have posted hundreds of times in comment threads endorsing Reform UK.
Due to their actions, some social media users have claimed that they are automated “bot” accounts, acting in an attempt to manipulate online discourse and inflate Reform UK’s popularity.
When the news got in touch with the persons behind the accounts, they discovered that some of them are real UK voters who think they are independently supporting the party.

I noticed this trend of remarks in posts that were suggested to our Undercover Voters’ feeds. Our Undercover Voters are 24 made-up individuals with social media profiles that are located all around the UK. Their purpose is to find out what kind of content is recommended to different kinds of voters during an election. There are no buddies on the private profiles. All they do is like, follow, and view pertinent stuff.
