Adam Mitula, a Reform UK activist suspended in February for posting racist slurs, antisemitic remarks, and Holocaust denial content, has been named as the election agent for three Reform candidates in Tameside, Manchester, ahead of local elections on May 7. This represents a significant credibility problem for Reform UK, which has already axed or suspended multiple candidates and senior figures including Hampshire mayoral candidate Chris Parry and housing spokesperson Simon Dudley. The party's reemergence as a major electoral force in 2026 continues to be shadowed by documented patterns of racist and antisemitic speech among its activists and candidates.
