Reform UK local election candidate was twice disciplined by Tories over ‘racist comments’
Ahead of the 7 May 2026 UK local, mayoral, and devolved parliament elections, two Reform UK candidates have faced scrutiny over past controversial behavior: Derek Bullock, a Bolton council hopeful who was twice disciplined by the Conservatives for alleged racist comments (which he denies and claims stem from faked evidence), and Glenda Hall, a Sunderland council candidate who shared Covid conspiracy theories and a post labeling Afghan men 'sexual predators'. Labour chair Anna Turley has criticized Reform UK’s candidate vetting processes, despite leader Nigel Farage claiming the party had strengthened these procedures.
