New Reform chair David Bull calls for return of death penalty
New Reform chair says ‘strong case’ for death penalty in clash with Nigel Farage
- Reform UK's new chairman, Dr David Bull, said he supports the death penalty for criminals like Axel Rudakabana, who committed a mass stabbing in Southport.
- Dr Bull also called for a ban on burqas in the UK, stating they divide communities, particularly in East London.
- These statements follow Nigel Farage's earlier comment that he would not support the reintroduction of the death penalty due to miscarriages of justice.
- Mr Farage also expressed concerns about face coverings like the burqa fitting into British culture.
- Dr Bull's appointment as chairman follows Zia Yusuf's brief resignation and return, with Farage emphasizing Bull's role in providing leadership and communication for the party.
