Reform suspends aspiring MP who said 'you cannot be Muslim and British' and called for asylum 'concentration camps'
Jason Powell, who canvassed for Nigel Farage in Clacton, claimed he had passed Reform's vetting to stand for Parliament. He singled out Reform home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf, saying being Muslim and British is 'like oil and water'. Reform is also investigating Hounslow councillors David Kerr and Adam Parkins. The party is pursuing legal action against ITV over the undercover sting, which is due to air on Sunday night.
Kerr was filmed advocating machine-gunning thousands of grooming gang members.
Parkins floated Sunday morning executions in the Downing Street rose garden.
Labour chair Bridget Phillipson: 'Bad apples don't fall far from the tree.'
