Nigel Farage’s promise to submit the reform of local elections in the UK, the hopes of the “highest standard” was in Tatters last night, after the party was forced to suspend two candidates in as many days.

A strong performance in the local elections in May is crucial if Mr. Farage will prove that the party’s voting impulse is more than just a hype.

“I checked, bet, to a standard that no other party has done so far for the elections of the Local Council,” Mr. Farage has been praised with GB news last month.

Last night, the party suspended the Buckinghashire candidate, Miriam Thomas, after Sunday Mirror identified offensive social media posts.

He came just one day after the reform was away from Steven Hartley, who was in front of the Oxfordshire party, after it appeared to defend him on Jimmy Savile villas.

Hartley posted on Social Media in 2022 that Savile was an “innocent man” and a “hero of the working class” – and even suggested that the pedophile DJ was his “role model”.

And confronted on posting, Hartley suggested that he simply did not reform the UK about his Twitter Account – which was under his name.

Meanwhile Sunday mirror learned about another candidate, Mrs. Thomas, who repeatedly posted on Facebook This Islam is a “false religion”.

She also posted an online image that claims that Muslim people are trying to “take control” of the UK and impose Sharia law.

Another image depicted Islam like a snake, devouring a person who nourishes it from a glass.

After warning the party in posts, a spokesman for the UK reform said: “Mrs. Thomas has been suspended as a member and is not now a candidate in the UK.

“I later withdrew all the support for her candidacy.”

After his suspension Hartley said BBC : “Maybe I forgot to tell them about my Twitter account (X), which I use sporadically when I just want to expand.

“I understand that the reform needs to be careful.”

But he blocked by Savile’s defense.

“I stay with my statements that Jimmy Savile was a working class hero,” he told Oxford Mail.

“These accusations have never been proven and truly how it came out after his death was the worst thing.”
