Reform UK mayor faces police probe over alleged cyber-flashing of staff member

Hull mayor Luke Campbell is under police investigation after a female colleague says he displayed naked images of himself on a work computer, leaving her feeling humiliated.

Luke Campbell, the Reform UK mayor of Hull and East Yorkshire, is being investigated by police after a female staff member alleges he projected nude images of himself on a computer screen in front of another colleague. She described the episode as shocking, humiliating and said it led to her being forced out of a permanent position shortly after. Campbell, a former Olympic gold-medallist boxer, has denied the accusations, labeling them as coming from a disgruntled employee seeking a settlement.

The case emerges amid a broader controversy surrounding Reform UK, where undercover footage has shown party members using sexist and racist language. Party figures, including Robert Jenrick, have defended the organization, saying inappropriate individuals have been suspended or asked to resign. The mayor’s office has not commented further as the police inquiry proceeds.

Why it matters

The allegations raise concerns about misconduct by an elected official and reflect wider accusations of a toxic culture within Reform UK.
