Reform UK hires ex-Tory MP who was suspended for using racist language
Briefly

Reform UK has appointed Anne Marie Morris, a former Conservative MP known for a suspended incident involving the N-word during a Brexit debate, to lead its social care policy. Morris had the Tory whip withdrawn in 2017 but later had it returned. She has defected to Reform alongside other ex-Tory members, citing a desire to help the party provide necessary leadership in light of the UK's challenges. The party aims to develop a sustainable social care plan as part of its policy platform ahead of the next election.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologise again for using such inappropriate and offensive language. It was a mistake and I regret it unreservedly.
The country is in a desperate position. I believe now it is Reform UK that offers the vision and leadership Britain so badly needs.
David Bull said he was delighted to welcome Morris, stating she brings a wealth of experience and will be crucial in developing the party's social care policy.
Reform's manifesto at the last election emphasized a royal commission on social care and called for a national plan for a sustainable social care system.
