Reform Suspends Activist Filmed Calling for Asylum 'Concentration Camps'

Wikimedia Commons

Reform UK has suspended activist Jason Powell, who applied to be a parliamentary candidate, after undercover ITV filming showed him saying Muslims cannot be British and that migrants arriving illegally should be held in concentration camps. The party is also investigating two Hounslow councillors over violent remarks about grooming gangs. Reform says there is no room for racism and is pursuing legal action against ITV.
