Reform UK has suspended an aspiring parliamentary candidate after an undercover investigation by ITV revealed the individual making extremist statements. The candidate, who was filmed at a party event known as 'Farage Fest,' reportedly stated that it is impossible to be both Muslim and British and expressed support for the use of concentration camps.

The footage is part of a year-long investigation into the party’s internal culture and vetting procedures, which is scheduled to air in full on Sunday. The event where the comments were recorded was organized to thank volunteers who assisted Nigel Farage’s successful campaign in the Clacton by-election.

While the party has moved to suspend the individual, the incident has renewed public and media scrutiny regarding Reform UK's candidate vetting process. The investigation highlights ongoing questions about the party's ability to monitor the views of its activists and representatives. As of now, the party has not provided a detailed public statement regarding how the individual passed initial vetting or how many other candidates may hold similar views. The full documentary is expected to provide further context on the extent of these sentiments within the party's volunteer base.
