YouTube Description
as posted by the channelReform UK has been accused of lying about its vetting process after LBC was shown social media posts by newly elected councillors.
The social media posts have been described as racist, Islamophobic, and misogynistic – including a post by one elected councillor who "joked" about beating his wife.
After being marred by controversial candidates, Reform UK was forced to drop in last year’s general election campaign.
The party’s leader, Nigel Farage, said it had since improved the vetting process, making it “as good if not better” than other parties.
Tom Swarbrick asked deputy leader Richard Tice about immigration, benefits, and the controversial posts.
