Reform MPs stay silent after a television exposé of racism and misogyny in the party

Summary

According to The Guardian's John Crace, after a Sunday night television exposé of widespread racism and misogyny within Reform UK, no Reform MPs went on air on Monday morning to defend the party. The column says Matt Goodwin, the party's failed byelection candidate, was left to defend it. It notes that Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick did not comment, and that Jenrick had days earlier suggested the problems were just one of those things. The column is a satirical opinion piece, so its characterisations of the party are the columnist's, not established findings.
