Reform UK mayoral candidate Chris Parry is under scrutiny for suggesting that several politicians from minority ethnic backgrounds do not prioritize loyalty to the UK. Parry, already criticized for telling Labour's David Lammy to "go home to the Caribbean," made the additional comments on X since May. He questioned the loyalties of Anas Sarwar, Naz Shah, Humza Yousaf, Zarah Sultana, Sadiq Khan, Dawn Butler, and Shabana Mahmood. Parry's posts often quote-retweeted content about these politicians, sometimes from far-right sources. The Labour Party has condemned Parry's remarks and called on Reform UK to take action. Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, has so far declined to condemn Parry's initial comment about Lammy.
