A Reform UK candidate has been suspended from the party after posts on social media revealed his support for serial sex abuser Jimmy Savile. Stephen Hartley was listed as standing for Reform UK in the Banbury Hardwick ward, ahead of local elections to Oxfordshire County Council on 1 May. He confirmed he had posted in 2022 that Savile was a “working class hero” and said he may have “forgotten” to disclose his X account to Reform UK. Reform UK said he had been suspended and the party had “withdrawn all support for his candidacy.”
