Reform’s Kruger under fire for warning of ‘LGBT-supporting’ left-wing parties
Reform UK faces backlash over racist remarks by MP Sarah Pochin and plans to cut civil service jobs by at least 30% from current levels, critics say.
- On October 28, 2025, Sarah Pochin, Reform UK MP, complained adverts were `full` of black and Asian people, sparking a racism row and drawing Labour Party chair Anna Turley's criticism.
- Last month Danny Kruger, East Wiltshire MP and Reform policy chief, defected to Nigel Farage, Reform UK leader, and proposed slashing Civil Service headcount and banning non-party political activism.
- The policy chief argued savings stem from not renewing leases on five government buildings, including 102 Petty France and Great Smith Street, but critics noted some offices are already closing.
- Opponents pointed to local failures, with five members expelled from Reform's flagship council in Kent for `dishonest and deceptive behaviour` and critics Lisa Smart and Sir John Major denouncing Reform's incompetence and `amateur populism`.
- Unions warned cuts would harm efficiency as Kruger said Civil Service senior officials must answer directly to politicians and Reform would amend the ministerial code.
