Georgie David, a Reform UK candidate, has defected to the Conservative Party, citing widespread racism, misogyny, and bigotry among Reform candidates. This move follows a similar defection by Liam Booth-Isherwood, who also condemned the Reform Party's pervasive discriminatory attitudes. Additionally, Reform UK has withdrawn support from three candidates—Edward Oakenfull, Robert Lomas, and Leslie Lilley—over their offensive comments, although they will still appear on the ballot. Nigel Farage, Reform UK's leader, faces mounting criticism and calls to address the party’s internal issues. Rishi Sunak and other political leaders have condemned the racism within Reform UK, with Sunak reacting strongly to a racial slur used against him by a Reform activist. This controversy comes just days before the general election, intensifying the scrutiny on Reform UK.
