Overview
- Adam Mitula, described locally as interim campaign manager, confirmed he is suspended by Reform UK pending an investigation.
- Multiple outlets, including the Manchester Mill and Jewish News, reported posts on X in which he disparaged Jewish women, questioned Holocaust death tolls, and alleged high rates of paedophilia among transgender people.
- His X account has been deleted following the reports.
- Mitula says the comments were taken out of context, argues they defended Jewish people, and says his solicitor is contacting outlets over alleged false claims.
- Reform UK says it will not discuss disciplinary matters, and Labour’s Lucy Powell has written to Matt Goodwin urging him to remove the activist from the campaign.
