Jason Powell, a Reform UK activist and aspiring MP, was filmed by ITV News saying Muslims cannot be British, likening it to "oil and water." He also suggested that asylum seekers should be detained in "concentration camps" if they arrive illegally. The footage is part of an undercover investigation that has already criticized the party for "appalling behavior" and "extreme racism." Reform UK has suspended Powell from membership while investigating his remarks, which include advocating for extreme measures against illegal migrants and discussing controversial views on violence against criminal gangs. ITV plans to broadcast the full documentary on Sunday, potentially further scrutinizing the vetting procedures of Reform UK.
The remarks were captured by an undercover ITV reporter as part of an investigation into Reform UK, which has already prompted accusations of “appalling behaviour” and “extreme racism” within the party.
