Summary:

• Reform UK faces allegations of racism, misogyny and violent rhetoric following an undercover investigation into party members.

• Recordings appeared to show Reform candidates and councillors making racist remarks and threats of violence.

• Solihull deputy mayor Alan Feeney advocated limiting Britain's non-white population to 1% and forcibly deporting Muslims.

• Feeney also described avoiding Asian households while canvassing, calling his approach "Alan's racist canvassing".

• Bromley councillor Dean Miller made racist comments about black children and suggested violence against King Charles.

• Feeney and Miller have both left Reform UK following the revelations.

• Reform UK stated there was "no room for racism" and said it had strengthened candidate vetting procedures.

• The party suggested those implicated had either resigned or been suspended.

• Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey and Conservative representatives condemned the behaviour revealed in the investigation.

• Labour's Bridget Phillipson demanded the immediate expulsion of anyone responsible and called for Nigel Farage to explain the incidents.

Why this matters: The investigation raises questions about Reform UK's candidate vetting procedures and its handling of racism allegations among elected representatives.

What's next: Reform UK faces continued scrutiny over its disciplinary procedures, with opposition politicians demanding further action against those implicated.
