Reform Party candidates, including Leslie Lilley and Liam Booth-Isherwood, have faced allegations of racism and misconduct, leading to their withdrawal or disownment by the party. Nigel Farage, Reform's leader, addressed concerns of bad apples within the party but insisted they are no longer present. Despite some candidates pulling out or supporting other parties like the Conservatives, Reform UK continues to face scrutiny over reports of racism and sexism, with ongoing controversies affecting its election campaigns.
