A Royal Mail spokesperson told Politics UK: “We take our role in elections very seriously and will investigate any incident or allegation of election material being defaced.
“We are aware of the video and are conducting immediate enquiries. It’s our priority to ensure all candidate mail is delivered to a high level of service.”
Mr Farage shared the footage to his own X account and tweeted: “I hope that @RoyalMail are taking this matter very seriously.”
