Ian Gribbin, the Reform candidate for the Bexhill and Battle constituency, told Sky News that he apologises and withdraws the comments 'unreservedly'.
A Reform UK candidate has apologised for an old internet post which said that Britain should have 'taken Hitler up on his offer of neutrality' instead of fighting the Nazis in the Second World War. Ian Gribbin told Sky News that he apologises and withdraws the comments 'unreservedly'. He added that he is 'upset' at how they have been 'taken out of context', saying his mother was the daughter of Russian Jewish people who fled persecution.
' Party chairman Richard Tice added: 'We're really pleased with all candidates. When people do inappropriate things, say daft things then of course we'll look at it and investigate it and that's what we do.' A spokesperson for Reform UK said: 'Millions of people who are struggling want journalists to discuss policy and ideas not juvenile gotcha identity politics. 'The snap election truncated vetting and post election these issues will be addressed.
