Will Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock Reform candidate condemn his deputy leader’s liking and sharing of holocaust denial, Hitler admiration and the Royal Family are lizards theory?

Andrew Russell, Reform candidate for the Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock constituency.

Today, the Ferret factchecker has revealed:

General election candidates in Scotland for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party have been slammed for ‘liking’ and engaging with social media posts from a holocaust denier, conspiracy theorists and a senior Russian politician.

X (formerly Twitter) accounts belonging to Reform’s deputy leader in Scotland, David Kirkwood, and election candidate Kenneth Morton have ‘liked’ posts and shared images of their party’s policies with far right activist Peter Imanuelsen. Known as Peter Sweden, he has previously denied the Holocaust and stated online “Hitler had some good points”

Sweden is followed on X by Richard Tice – who was the Reform UK party leader until replaced by Farage on 3 June – as well as the official Reform UK Scotland account. Morton also liked posts from prominent conspiracy theorists such as David Icke, who has claimed the world is ruled by shape shifting lizards. https://theferret.scot/scots-reform-candidates-conspiracy-theorist-posts/

This is not a spoof.
