Alan Feeney, deputy mayor of Solihull and custodial manager at HMP Birmingham, has been suspended from the prison service after being filmed calling Asian homeowners "parasites" and saying no more than 1% of Britain's population should be non-white. The Ministry of Justice called his comments "despicable" and said they were "entirely at odds" with standards expected of prison staff. Bromley councillor Dean Miller also resigned after allegedly calling black children "animals" and claiming King Charles is a Muslim who should be beheaded. Nigel Farage cancelled a press conference but insisted the ITV investigation was staged "because the establishment frankly want us out of the picture."
Farage admitted he cannot stop what members say "after a drink" or when "provoked", but insisted Reform vets "to a much higher standard than other parties."
Prime Minister Andy Burnham demanded Reform take "immediate and firm action", warning Britain had "allowed a poison into our politics."
The full ITV documentary, 'Undercover: A Year in Reform', is due to air on Sunday and covered eight Reform figures across England and Wales over a year of by-election campaigns.
