  1. Can he also go on a register if Saville is a hero in his eyes?

  2. > In an interview with the BBC, Mr Hartley confirmed he posted in 2022 that Savile was a “working class hero” and said that he may have “forgotten” to disclose his X account to Reform UK.

    Reform UK really do attract all the nicest people the UK has to offer, how can you resist voting for them!

  3. I think maybe quite possibly absolutely certainly that the police might want to take a look at this Reform candidate’s computer/s and browsing activity.

  4. Reform having trouble finding anyone who wants to sully themselves.

    It’s one thing to cheer on the hate. It’s an entirely different thing to lead it, to try and encourage the crowd into becoming a hate machine suggesting all their problems are basically immigrants (with you as the only ‘cure’, naturally).

    So they end up scraping the barrel of society.

  5. 25% of UK voters apparently would vote for Reform. Every statistical bell curve needs an end, and they are clearly at the statistical bell end.

  6. I was going to say “surely this was a dark joke” but then I saw his photograph.

  7. Was on track for a massive promotion into the party elite before this “slip up” happened. Maybe he’s the one who coined the reform catch phrase of Reform’ll fix it!

  8. What a surprise, the party preying on the most vulnerable with lies and deception is in fact a den of lying deceptive predators? I am shocked.

  9. Perhaps this is me stereotyping, but he definitely looks like the sort of guy that might defend Savile

  10. He looks exactly how I expect most Reform candidates to look. Barking fucking mad.

  11. Well, I’m not at all surprised considering the party says “Reform will fix it”

  12. Good to see the BBC finally agree savile was a bad person.

  13. He definitely looks like someone who’d say that about jimmy Saville

  14. It must be a total coincidence that this Party keeps attracting nutters, criminals, and extremists as candidates.

  16. Reform the party for the ‘proper’ (white) British, scandal after scandal but hey Reeves accepted a Taylor swift ticket!.

  17. They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover… But I mean… C’mon, look at him! Check that mans PC!

  18. well at least Reform kept his suggestion for a party slogan…

  19. “I understand Reform have got to be careful” he said in response to his suspension. He continues to hold the same views, believes himself to be suitable for public office just believes the optics are wrong. Good grief!

    On the other hand if there had been a quiz asking you to match the party, with the opinion, with the photo we would all have done rather well I think.

  20. Good decisive action by Reform UK.

    Unlike Labour & Tories who seem to have a history of wretched people within the party.

  21. Considering the party I wasn’t sure if he’d been suspended for being for or against Savile.

  22. Ironic that the Reform slogan is “Reform will fix it.”

  24. Reform Will Fix It.

    Slogan sorted.

    What, too late ?

  26. Bruh.

    Jimmy Saville is just a staple of degeneracy, evil and the absolute worst the elite establishment can bring out second to Epstein, that I can imagine there will be some Neo-Nazis who look at this candidate and think ‘Fuckin hell what a wrongin’

  27. This is indeed true, what is your argument against it? , whether it’s Boris Johnson throwing a party, what on earth is Liz Truss chosen to do? vase? Rishi Sunak too, spends money like water. The most ridiculous thing is spending huge amounts of money to repatriate refugees. It’s really crazy. And there has always been a superstitious stereotype that the Labour Party will help workers. Sir Keir Starme and his team are out of touch with reality. They completely violate all their promises and decide the interests of the British people with their prejudices and self-righteousness. What the hell are they doing?

  28. Everything is for profit and money. The salary of an elected member of parliament is very high and it is worth it. It is a huge income. Don’t you understand? Profits are everything, including the Reform Party. Why should they be elected if there is no profit? Really, really generous salary, the MPs
