Reform UK’s stance on Northern Ireland sparks union concerns amid backlash over false Brexit claims.
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is drawing concern from Northern Ireland Conservatives over its stance on the Good Friday Agreement and the European Convention on Human Rights, with party chair Paul Leeman warning the party’s suggestion that Northern Ireland would “wait” and not be a priority could threaten the union.
Leeman criticized Reform’s lack of urgency, while Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch faced backlash for wrongly claiming Northern Ireland voted to leave the EU—corrected after it was noted the region voted 56% to 44% to remain.
The Conservatives have no elected representatives in Northern Ireland and received less than 1% of the vote in recent elections, with major UK parties not fielding candidates there.
Reform UK has not commented.
