Politics LIVE: Top Tory set to tackle Reform and Labour in financial system speech | Politics | News | EUROtoday
To add to the confusion, Reform UK chief Nigel Farage has urged his get together may again a ban on face coverings, however tried to maneuver the talk away from burqas and on to violent protestors.
It means Reform now has three completely different positions on the difficulty, after MP Sarah Pochin known as particularly for a burqa ban and get together chair Zia Yusuf stated Reform “wouldn’t do” this.
Mr Farage informed GB News: “I was in Aberdeen Monday, there was a mob there to meet me, an organisation called Antifa, and half of them had complete face coverings on so they would be unidentifiable.
“I do not assume face coverings in public locations make sense, and I feel we do deserve debate about that, which I see the burqa as being a component.”
He went on to say: “Certainly, I feel masked protesters who can flip up and exhibit and, in some circumstances use violence, shouldn’t be in a position to get away with it.”
It comes after new Reform MP Sarah Pochin urged the Prime Minister to “ban the burqa” on Wednesday.
Reform chair Zia Yusuf responded by saying it “wasn’t coverage” and said: “I do assume it’s dumb for a celebration to ask the PM if they’d do one thing the get together itself wouldn’t do.”
