Sunday newspaper round-up: Reform, Ukraine, 'Swift courts', Airbus, Elon Musk
(Sharecast News) - Reform UK expelled a senior local figure on Friday after broadcaster Sangita Myska alleged she had been subjected to racial slurs, with the Guardian reporting that Nigel Farage's rhetoric was emboldening attacks on people of colour. Myska, who has presented programmes for the BBC and LBC, said former Staffordshire council leader Ian Cooper told her she was English "only in your dreams" because of her south Asian heritage. Cooper, a two‑time Reform UK parliamentary candidate, was forced to resign his council leadership role after the party revoked his membership. The Guardian noted that the incident has raised fresh concerns about the tone of political debate and its impact on minority communities.
