But their vetting was so much more stringent this time. They promised they’d rooted out the racists.
Careful Reform, you start cutting out all the racists loose and your whole party is just gonna be 3 dogs in a trenchcoat.
I wonder whom he upset to be booted out and over what. If they were genuinely vetting the party for racists they would have nooone left.

Losing 5% of your councillors in 6 months is not sustainable. Presumably the attrition rate will slow down as it’s hard to imagine they’ll still be rooting them out after more than a year (?).
ReformUKexposed ( on x ) and Hope not Hate doing the vetting that Reform aren’t.
Farage should use their nine million pound donation from a man in Thailand to employ a professional vetting service
Another one? Oh no!
Where on earth do they keep coming from? God, what rotten luck.
>A Reform UK spokesperson said: “Following an investigation into the failure to declare social media accounts during the candidate vetting process, Cllr Ian Cooper has had his membership of Reform UK revoked.”
What vetting process? [By Farage’s own admission](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/nigel-farage-reform-uk-general-election-b2564488.html), Reform outsourced candidate vetting to a cowboy company owned by Boris Johnson’s former faith engagement advisor, paying it £144,000 only to be „stitched up“ when the contractor „delivered absolutely nothing.“
(The vetting company’s side of the story is that, „Given the explicit need for candidate consent, as well as our systems needing basic personal data like dates of birth, our automated software was not able [to] process Reform’s candidates with the data that was provided when it was provided.“ A version of events which, oddly enough, Reform’s statement on the story this post is about seems to back up.)
