Reform UK Candidate Resigns Over Historic Vile, Racist and Pro-BNP Comments

Jun 16, 2024, 05:52 PM

A Reform UK candidate running in Kemi Badenoch's constituency has resigned following the emergence of historic vile, racist, and pro-BNP comments. The candidate, who had previously endorsed the British National Party (BNP) and shared posts from Far-Right Leaders, decided to step down after the offensive remarks were uncovered. The resignation was his own decision rather than the party's, which has reportedly weakened its stance on extreme candidates since Nigel Farage replaced Richard Tice as leader and nominations closed.
