So much more than a slip-up in vetting, Reform UK are allowing these men to run because they don't see anything wrong with what they did

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.
