Reform candidate calls for mass deportation of Muslims

Reform candidate calls for mass deportation of Muslims

Nigel Farage has been urged to drop a Reform UK candidate who called for “every Muslim” to be deported from Britain because the public cannot tell them apart from terrorists. Kate Michaela, who is standing in Adur district council, in West Sussex, on May 7, shared several offensive posts, including one that said “every Muslim must leave the UK by 2030”. The Reform candidate also shared a post by Tommy Robinson, the far-Right activist, describing Yvette Cooper, the Foreign Secretary, as a “dumb b—-” who was allowing Islam to “take over Britain”. Ms Michaela, a beauty salon owner, also reposted a Kremlin conspiracy theory that linked Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted paedophile. Social media post The Labour Party and the Conservatives have both demanded that Mr Farage remove Ms Michaela from his candidate list and stop any funding or resources for her campaign. Anna Turley, the chairman of the Labour Party, said: “The comments made by this Reform UK candidate are racist, simple as that. “For Nigel Farage and Reform …

Anti-Muslim influencer launches racist attack on Mahmood after being blocked from UK

Anti-Muslim influencer launches racist attack on Mahmood after being blocked from UK

A self-styled anti-Muslim influencer has launched a racist attack on the Home Secretary after she was barred from entering Britain to attend a rally organised by Tommy Robinson. Valentina Gomez, based in the US, was last week given an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) to speak at the Unite the Kingdom rally on May 16 organised by Robinson, the far-Right activist. However, it emerged on Monday that Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, had excluded Ms Gomez from the UK, on the grounds that her presence would not be conducive to the public good. In response to the decision, Ms Gomez, 26, posted a video on social media in which she called Ms Mahmood a “dirty Pakistani Muslim”. Valentina Gomez and Tommy Robinson pictured together at the first Unite the Kingdom rally in September 2025 – Instagram Ms Gomez then claimed she would defy the prospect of arrest to travel to the UK by boat. She said: “I guarantee you that the White House will get involved. Because I’m not just coming with Jesus Christ, I’m coming with …

Europe’s nationalists head to Washington – POLITICO

Johnson is the star attraction. But the conference is otherwise more of a low-wattage affair, with secondary speakers like recent Romanian presidential candidate George Simion and largely mid-ranking officials from Austria, Belgium, Georgia, Cyprus, Croatia, Serbia and Germany. There are no listed speakers from the Trump administration. A White House spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment.  For the Europeans, it’s a chance to bask in the success of a kindred party at the peak of its power — and maybe have a little Trumpian aura rub off on them. “The MAGA movement is extremely important for Romanians, especially for the conservative-patriotic side, those who identify with MAGA values and policies,” said Simion, who is the leader of the Alliance for the Union of Romanians, which has a big polling lead over centrist rivals, according to POLITICO’s Poll of Polls. He said he looked forward to seeing Johnson, whom he met at Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2025 and called “one of our friends in Washington.” Luna has cultivated ties with like-minded European lawmakers, as …

What Nigel Farage’s new team tells us about his bid to run Britain – POLITICO

Likewise, Jenrick said taxes are “clearly too high” and promised to “build an economy that serves alarm clock Britain” — people who get up early for work — but was thin on the detail of any specific tax cuts. Fundamental questions about the shape of policy or the economy under Reform have yet to be answered. Four groups are due to finish work in May on regulation, growth capital, pensions and savings, and tax. Farage and Tice have toyed with the idea of scrapping the “triple lock” (which guarantees large increases in the state pension) but have not reached a conclusion. Braverman said 50 percent of young people should enter manual trades, while Tice has suggested a complete overhaul of pensions for public sector workers; these policies are yet to be fleshed out. At the same time, Farage’s appointees have their hands full — especially Tice, whose theoretical super-department would cover business, trade, energy and housing policy. He is also still in charge of Reform’s cost-cutting efforts in local councils. Some basic questions about personnel …

Tommy Robinson Endorses Reform UK Candidate In By Election

Tommy Robinson Endorses Reform UK Candidate In By Election

Tommy Robinson has endorsed Reform UK’s candidate in next month’s crunch Gorton and Denton by-election. The far-right agitator urged his social media followers in the Greater Manchester constituency to vote for Matt Goodwin. Goodwin, a former academic-turned-right-wing GB News presenter, was unveiled by Reform earlier this week. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has had a long-running feud with Robinson – whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – and last year insisted he would never let him join the party. A Labour campaign spokesperson said: “The stakes couldn’t be higher in Gorton and Denton. Tommy Robinson’s endorsement of Reform’s candidate shows who he really is and what he stands for. “The Greens simply cannot win this by-election, leaving a stark choice between unity and change with Labour, or division and risk with Reform. “Only a vote for Labour can stop the toxic politics that Reform and Tommy Robinson would bring to Manchester.” Reform UK have been contacted for comment. Meanwhile, the Green Party’s candidate said the by-election was a battle of “hope versus hate”. Hannah Spencer, …
