Reform UK is facing criticism after Member of Parliament Danny Kruger made remarks condemning 'LGBT-supporting' political parties, sparking calls for leader Nigel Farage to denounce the comments. Kruger, who recently joined Reform from the Conservative Party, described a coalition of left-wing parties as a 'kaleidoscope of catastrophe' and questioned their coherence, particularly on issues of gay rights and support for Hamas. The controversy comes amid other internal disputes, including allegations of racism and scrutiny over Reform-led councils, where promised savings have not materialized and council tax increases are being considered.

At a press conference, Kruger outlined Reform's plans to overhaul government operations, including reducing Civil Service headcount and closing government buildings, though some closures were already planned by the current administration. Critics, including Labour and Liberal Democrat figures, have accused Reform of promoting divisive rhetoric and unrealistic policies, while former prime minister John Major labelled the party's approach as 'amateur populism.' Reform's leadership continues to defend its agenda, insisting that meaningful change can only be achieved from Westminster.
