"Hope Not Hate accused Dean of using social media to call for mosques to be closed and commented that she was getting tired of Muslims. The campaign group also accused Dean of posting the message: 'Indigenous Britain is slipping further into the abyss. We will soon reach the point of no return.'"
"Murray said: 'I can confirm Councillor Dean has had the whip suspended because of unacceptable comments made on an anonymous account which was not disclosed during vetting.'"
"'Upon review, it was found that Councillor Dean had failed to declare her social media account, operating under a different name, during our vetting process. Councillor Dean has had her membership of Reform UK suspended pending investigation.'"
A Reform UK councillor, Dean, has been suspended for not disclosing a social media account during the party's vetting process. The suspension follows accusations of racist comments, including calls to close mosques and negative remarks about Muslims. The new council leader, Martin Murray, emphasized a zero-tolerance approach to racism and confirmed that Dean's suspension was due to unacceptable comments made on an undisclosed account. An investigation into the matter will follow, as this incident adds to ongoing controversies involving Reform UK councillors in Staffordshire.
