MP calls for Reform UK councillor exit over Lammy 'corrupt' slur.

An MP is calling for a new councillor to be kicked out of Reform UK after they reposted racist comments about Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy. South Norfolk Labour MP Ben Goldsborough highlighted the posts, which described Lammy as "like some corrupt African official" and "looting us for his own tribe". Lammy, who is also Justice Secretary, was previously called Foreign Secretary in the February last year post.
