Reform scrutinized over candidate screening
Reform UK is under scrutiny for its candidate vetting process after undercover footage showed some party members and candidates using racist, sexist, and violent language. The investigation revealed instances where individuals who allegedly failed vetting still stood for election, with party leaders defending their procedures despite ongoing questions. The footage also highlighted efforts to advise a potential candidate to delete social media posts supportive of far-right activist Tommy Robinson, and showed that some candidates, including a former hopeful, claimed conflicting experiences with vetting. The party maintains it has improved its vetting process, but critics including Labour have called for accountability.
