Reform’s Zia Yusuf thinks targeted prostate cancer screenings are racist against white people now

On 2 June, the Department of Health and Social Care announced a £200m boost to the Transform prostate cancer treatment trial. However, Reform UK’s Zia Yusuf has chosen to get himself in a tizz about the fact that the potentially life-saving trial is targeting Black people. You know, because Black people suffer from a far higher risk of prostate cancer than white people. But the far-right home affairs spokesperson isn’t letting that little fact stop him. Following party leader Nigel Farage’s current talking point, Yusuf branded the trial as evidence of a “two-tier system” creating a systematic disadvantage for white people.…

Reform’s Makerfield candidate was a Remainer

Robert Kenyon, Reform’s candidate in the Makerfield by-election, is reported to have voted to remain in the European Union. This could be something of a problem too because Reform wouldn’t exist if not for the campaign to leave the EU. NEW: Reform UK's Makerfield candidate Robert Kenyon said in 2019 that he did not vote for Brexit "Anyone who thinks I love Trump, voted Brexit… is wrong… I woke up the day after Brexit shitting myself to what was voted for" [@thetimes] — Politics UK (@PolitlcsUK) May 26, 2026 Reform Remainiac As Skwawkbox reported for the Canary, Kenyon has links to known…

Reform’s new overtime tax policy torn to shreds

Reform UK unveiled an attention-grabbing new policy proposal on Sunday 24 May: Reform will scrap income tax on overtime. It's time to make work pay. pic.twitter.com/Q0luvT9WPM — Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) May 24, 2026 The problem for Reform is that the policy has also grabbed the attention of people who think things through. Reform — “Avoidance opportunities” Sam Dumitriu of the Britain Remade thinktank had 5 points on the new policy: 1. This appears to be an import of Trump’s extremely dumb (but clearly popular) ‘no tax on tips’ policy. 2. If your aim is to boost growth and incentivise work,…

Reform’s fascist deportation plan ‘to cost £50bn’

Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick became unstuck when questioned about his party’s mass deportation plans. As commentators Mukhtar and Saul Staniforth highlighted, however, the focus on cost is frankly disgusting given the human element: Trevor Philips is a weird guy. https://t.co/qMcp4Dw9Je — Mukhtar (@I_amMukhtar) May 24, 2026 Reform — the cost Host Trevor Phillips put the following to Reform’s Robert Jenrick: [Zia] Yusuf wants to deport 1 billion illegal immigrants. That’s the number he says. The cost of each enforced return at the moment is about £49,000, which means that the cost of your deportation programme would work out at £50 billion.…

Watch: Reform’s would-be new Kirklees council leader doesn’t understand… anything much

Kirklees council remains leaderless after councillors were unable to choose at a meeting yesterday; Reform are the biggest party, but short of a majority. Labour was wiped out in this month’s local elections. But the meeting saw some comedy as Reform UK’s would-be leader had to admit that neither she nor her 28 councillors understood what they were voting for. Or anything else, really: @kirkleesgreenparty Councillor Sarah Wood – Reform’s choice to lead Kirklees Council apparently doesn’t understand how the Council runs #huddersfield #westyorkshire ♬ original sound – Kirklees Green Party Reform farce Wood and her party objected that the votes…

Reform’s Suella Braverman blames Tories for “exodus” of Brits

Tory-Reform turncoat, MP Suella Braverman, is angry that Brits are leaving Britain. Falling immigration has not yet filled the void that exists in place of her soul. “The brightest and the best are leaving the UK,” Suella Braverman wrote in response to a Telegraph report featuring immigration stats from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). She noted that the position was untenable. The Telegraph reported that in 2025, 75,000 more Britons aged 16–34 left the UK — the highest number on record since the ONS changed its methodology in 2021. The brightest and the best are leaving the UK. This can’t…
