Jim Ratcliffe did not approve use of his comments in Reform UK video

Manchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe did not give permission for his comments to be used in a Reform UK video, according to a New York Times report. The 73-year-old billionaire, who has publicly criticised UK immigration levels on multiple occasions, is said to have had his remarks repurposed by the party without authorisation. The episode raises questions about consent and political parties' use of prominent business figures' statements in campaign material.
Why now: The reported unauthorised use of Ratcliffe's comments by Reform UK links a high-profile football owner to a contentious political campaign.
