Reform suspends an activist who said Muslims cannot be British and launches legal action against ITV over undercover film
Jason Powell, who had sought a Reform parliamentary candidacy, told the undercover reporter that small-boat migrants should be held in 'concentration camps'. Hounslow councillors David Kerr and Adam Parkins are now under investigation too. Parkins spoke of 'Sunday morning Rose Garden executions' of rape gangs. The ITV documentary 'Undercover: A Year in Reform' is due to air on Sunday.
Powell identified Zia Yusuf, Reform's home affairs spokesman and a Muslim, as someone he would challenge.
Reform insists there is 'no room for racism' and says its vetting has improved.
Labour chairwoman Bridget Phillipson said Nigel Farage is 'completely unfit to lead'.
