HMRC employee exposed as member of far-right group
Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) reps in Birmingham said an "unapologetically racist" activist was discovered after the documentary aired in January.
HMRC said all its employees were expected to uphold the Civil Service Code, which required them to be objective and impartial, as well its values and commitments.
"Failure to meet those standards will be investigated and appropriate action taken," a spokesperson added.
Patriotic Alternative is considered to be the UK's largest far-right group, with about 500 members and thousands of followers online.
There are the calls for the group to be banned and some members investigated by police after people were secretly filmed making threats of violence against migrants.
Dame Sara Khan, former Counter-Extremism Commissioner, previously called for the government to change the laws to ban organisations like the group.
An undercover BBC reporter spent a year investigating Patriotic Alternative, filming demonstrations and recording some members using racial slurs, alongside talk of race wars.
Patriotic Alternative leader Mark Collett said the group were not extremist, did not promote violence, and were advocating for for the rights of "indigenous Britons".
Fran Heathcote, PCS general secretary, said the "twisted ideology" of Patriotic Alternative had no place in the civil service or in wider society.
"PCS reps in Birmingham have identified an unapologetically racist Patriotic Alternative activist as a member of HMRC staff. Our Welsh reps in HMRC did the same in 2023, demonstrating our commitment to rooting fascist agitators out of our civil service," she said in a statement.
"As trade unionists and anti-fascists, will continue to actively fight against all forms of racism and fascism."
An HMRC spokesperson added they did not comment on individual staff members.

Student calls hospital worker 'Welsh c***' then asks 'how is that racist?'
A student called a hospital security guard a "f***ing Welsh c***" then argued the remark was not racist. But Layla Ahmed would later admit her outburst at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales was racially abusive. The 20-year-old psychology student had attended the Heath hospital on December 8 last year with her sister, who "was having seizures", defence solicitor Amelia Butt told Cardiff Magistrates' Court. "This can be seen in footage where she is seen to be having a seizure on the floor in the background," Ms Butt added. "Miss Ahmed was frustrated at staff not being able to treat her sister and she accepts she made comments solely out of desperation in the heat of the moment."

Ahmed then said to the security guard: "You f***ing Welsh c***." When he asked her to stop using racist language she replied: "How is that racist? You're white. You're Welsh." The student, of Catherine Street in Cathays, pleaded guilty to racially-aggravated harassment. Ms Butt said her client had been worried about what would happen to her sister. "She is remorseful," the solicitor told the court. "She accepts she should not have said what she said. She is 20 years old and has never been arrested before or since." Ahmed receives a student loan of £3,400 every four months and has been working part-time as a support worker earning around £100 per week. "I don't agree it was a substantial disturbance," said Ms Butt. "It was not a situation where other intervention or additional assistance was required." Passing sentence District Judge Rhys Williams said: "You were frustrated by the situation. You were asked to leave by the security guard and you used abusive language towards him. "That language included a racial element and it was directed at a security guard who was only doing his job in that situation." The judge imposed a £120 fine, £50 compensation to the victim, £85 in prosecution costs, and a £48 victim services surcharge. Ahmed must pay at a rate of at least £20 per month.

Two thirds of Britons back removal of Duke of York's titles
Two thirds of Britons believe the Duke of York should be stripped of his remaining royal titles, according to a new poll. Research by YouGov found that 67% of the public would back the removal of Andrew's York dukedom, as well as his princely title. An unflattering biography of the disgraced duke by Andrew Lownie this month delved into the private life of the late Queen's son, depicting him as sex obsessed, a 'useful idiot' and easy prey for Jeffrey Epstein. Some 13% opposed the removal of his titles and 21% were unsure, the survey showed. Three years ago, 62% believed Andrew should have his York title removed, with the current 67% in-favour figure seeing a jump of five percentage points. Another YouGov survey found that just 5% have a positive view of the King's brother, with Andrew languishing at the bottom of the royal favourability tables, beneath the Duchess of Sussex who has a 20% positive rating and the Duke of Sussex at 28%. Legislation would be required for Parliament to prevent Andrew continuing as the Duke of York, while his birthright to be a prince, as the son of a monarch, could be changed if a Letters Patent were issued by the King. The duke stopped using his style of His Royal Highness following his disastrous Newsnight interview, but it could be removed entirely by a Letters Patent. Andrew stepped away from his public role in 2019 amid the furore over his friendship with convicted billionaire paedophile Epstein. He later paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case with Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein as a teenager and who Andrew claimed never to have met.

Nicola Sturgeon says she may move to London as she 'can't breathe freely' in Scotland
Scotland's former first minister Nicola Sturgeon has suggested she might move to London because of the scrutiny she faces in her homeland. The former Scottish National Party leader, 55, spoke of her fondness for the capital in her latest interview to promote her long-awaited memoir 'Frankly'. She also said she sometimes feels "I can't breathe freely in Scotland" because of the attention she receives. Ms Sturgeon told the BBC's Newscast podcast: "This may shock many people to hear, but I love London. "Just for one thing and another. I'm spending a reasonable amount of time in London at the moment, so yeah. Maybe a bit of time down here and who knows. "Suffocating is maybe putting it too strongly, but I feel sometimes I can't breathe freely in Scotland.' In her book, Ms Sturgeon said she is "excited about the next phase" of her life which she jokingly refers to as her "delayed adolescence". In it, she revealed "I might live outside of Scotland for a period' following her divorce from long-term partner Peter Murrell, who was previously the SNP's chief executive. It is understood that Ms Sturgeon moved out of the couple's home in Glasgow after Mr Murrell was arrested and later charged last year over the alleged embezzlement of donations to the party. Mr Murrell made no plea at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in March and he was granted bail. Ms Sturgeon was also detained and questioned by Police Scotland as part of Operation Branchform, but has since been exonerated of wrongdoing. Earlier this year, Ms Sturgeon said she will not seek re-election at the next year's Holyrood election and is preparing for a life outside mainstream politics. She is also considering writing a novel and told STV it could feature a "murder on every page". Her autobiography went on sale on Monday, three days ahead of official publication, after Waterstone's announced publisher Macmillan had not imposed an embargo.
