Ratcliffe did not approve Reform UK use of his comments

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 disclosure raises questions over how the billionaire's remarks ended up in the party's material, drawing attention to the overlap between Ratcliffe's public statements and UK political campaigning.
Why now: The report ties a high-profile football owner to a political party's campaign without his authorisation.
