An undercover sting operation has uncovered racist, sexual, and violent rhetoric among members of Nigel Farage's Reform UK party.
Councillor Alan Feeney was suspended and subsequently resigned after making racist remarks about Asian families. Chris Whelan, a Reform election candidate, also resigned, citing personal and health reasons, following a sexually suggestive remark about a female Reform candidate.
Dean Miller, a Reform councillor, made racist remarks about ethnic children and violent statements concerning illegal immigrants. Miller also called for King Charles to be beheaded; he has since resigned and now sits as an independent councillor.
Miller stated of ethnic children: 'It's just like all the ethnic fing kids, like they're not white, they're all fing Black and they're like f*ing animals. It's horrible to say it, I'm not racist, but you know what I mean.'
An aspiring Reform MP was suspended after suggesting concentration camps for asylum seekers. Powell, who claimed to have passed vetting to stand as a Reform MP, advocated for migrant concentration camps and stated, 'you cannot be a Muslim and British.'
MP Sarah Pochin stated that senior Reform UK officials exclude women. Reform UK issued a statement acknowledging that individuals who do not share their values can sometimes get through vetting, asserting there is no room for racism in the party.
Despite these actions, Reform confirmed 'no further action' will be taken against two councillors, Adam Parkins and David Kerr. Secretly filmed, Parkins and Kerr advocated for the execution of grooming gang members.
Parkins and Kerr, Reform councillors in Hounslow, west London, appeared to advocate for the execution of Muslim grooming gang members. Zia Yusuf serves as the home affairs spokesman for Reform UK.
ITV Exposure accused the party of 'appalling behaviour' and 'extreme racism'. The investigation also claims Nigel Farage was accused of protecting his party's mayoral candidate, Chris Parry, who made a racist social media post.
Reform UK mayoral candidate Chris Parry was suspended after making a social media post about the deputy prime minister. He appeared to liken a Jewish neighbourhood watch group to 'Islamists on horseback'.
Nigel Farage previously stated there is no place for 'bigots' in the Reform UK party. He pledged to tighten vetting procedures.
The suspension of Parry comes ahead of the broadcast of a year-long probe into Reform by ITV Exposure and Hardcash Productions. The documentary was filmed at an event called Farage Fest.
