A 78-year-old volunteer in Essex says a Reform UK councillor likened her to a Nazi collaborator because she teaches English to asylum seekers. Mair Godley alleges Carl Johnson told her at a parish meeting on 14 October that she was facilitating an invasion. The Home Office houses hundreds of asylum seekers at the former military base. Reform won control of Essex county council in May.
