Reform UK say they are ‘mortified’ after sacking an inactive parliamentary candidate who later turned out to be dead.

Reform initially said they had rescinded his candidacy due to inappropriate messages on social media, but later discovered he had died following the selection process.

I'd be more likely to vote for him than any living Reform UK candidate.
