Reform UK, led by Richard Tice, has been criticized for its vetting procedures after dropping several candidates, including Pete Addis from South Shropshire, for making sexist remarks and using a racial slur. Amidst this controversy, Tice defended his party's swift action against problematic members and outlined plans to 'completely start again' with a new immigration department, addressing the issue that two-thirds of refused asylum applicants remain in the UK. Criticism also came from Hope Not Hate, with questions about their diligence in researching antisemitism within George Galloway’s party. Tice remarked on the 'entire fake right' being targeted and highlighted the financial gains 'lefty lawyers' are making from the UK's immigration policies.

‘Funny how Hope Not Hate’s supposedly ‘diligent researchers’ didn’t spot the vile antisemitism from George Galloway’s party, does that mean that they’re far left sympathisers?’ ‘Where is their diligence against people from the far left?!’ @TiceRichard | Reform UK https://t.co/qJ7lxY7pAb
