Reform UK Suspends Hampshire Mayoral Candidate Over 'Islamists on Horseback' Remark
Reform UK suspended its Hampshire mayoral candidate after antisemitic comments about a Jewish patrol group following an arson attack on community ambulances, prompting vetting scrutiny.
- Reform UK suspended its Hampshire mayoral candidate Chris Parry, a retired Naval officer from Portsmouth, after he appeared to liken a Jewish neighbourhood watch group to Islamists on horseback following an arson attack on Jewish community ambulances.
- Counter-Terror officers continue to investigate the arson attack that destroyed four ambulances run by Hatzola, a Jewish charity ambulance service, which is being treated as an antisemitic hate crime.
- Following his suspension, the party's home affairs spokesman Max Wilkinson said Reform had questions to answer over Parry's initial vetting, as he had previously made offensive remarks about David Lammy MP.
