Nigel Farage’s Reform Party has dropped two more candidates and suspended a third over a series of offensive comments that reportedly included comments about “brown babies” slander.

The right-wing Challenger Party has suspended its South Shropshire candidate Pete Addis after a series of comments posted online came to light.

Vulgar posts exposed on social media Posted on Sunday He was shown calling for Sir David Attenborough to be “killed” and making a racist joke about “brown babies”.

Reform said it had ousted Addis and Amodio Amato, who reportedly said London was an “Islamic State” and that there would be “a Muslim army led by Sadiq Khan.”

A spokesman for the party said: “Amodio Amato and Pete Addis have been summarily disqualified as candidates because their comments clearly violated any basic notions of decency. Iris Lesk has been suspended pending Further investigation.”

Ms Lisk reportedly called on meat eaters to “eat other humans” and “exterminate” the human race.

Mr Addis told Posted on Sunday He “obviously” regrets his remarks and that they were “a joke.”

They are just the latest British reform candidate to be ousted for racist or offensive posts on social media.

Campaign group Hope Not Hate has uncovered tweets from candidates Jonathan Kaye and Mick Greenhoff that made derogatory comments about Muslims and black people.

Mr Kay, who is contesting the South Ribble election, tweeted in 2019 that Muslims “never coexist with others” and should be deported, claiming Africans have “the lowest IQs in the world”.

Mr Greenhoff, the reform candidate for Orpington, tweeted in 2023 that the “only solution” was to “remove Muslims from our soil” and in 2019 said Ashkenazi Jews were a “problem” and “causing great suffering to the world”.

Hope Not Hate, an anti-far-right group, said the pair were “deeply unfit for public office”.

Two people were disqualified as reform candidates on Wednesday after the “Hope Not Hate” findings were released.

A party spokesman said: “The reforms have eliminated our candidates for Orpington and South Ribble.

“We want to make it clear that while we vigorously defend candidates’ rights to free speech, we take swift action when we find that individual speech does not meet our standards.

“Labour and the Conservatives also had candidates who made comments that fell below acceptable standards, but we were quicker than others in taking decisive action.”

Reform has now dropped nine candidates in the upcoming election following complaints about comments on social media.

Benjamin “Beau” Dade has been dropped as candidate for Swindon South following a similar investigation by Hope Not Hate. While Ginny Ball is in Rutland and Stamford; Nick Davies, North East Bedfordshire; and David Carpin is in Henry and Tyme. Henley and Thame; Beverley and Holderness’ Roger Hoe were both sacked for comments they made on social media.

A number of the party’s other candidates have also been criticized, including a convicted animal abuser and a fortune teller who sold spells for £200 on the OnlyFans website.

Scrutiny of the Reform Party has grown as it consistently ranks third in opinion polls, behind the Conservatives. It is not expected to win any seats in this year’s general election but could strip the Conservatives of their majority in dozens of tight battles across the country.
