Alexander Jones suggested Black Britons could not be English
Category: racism
In early November 2025, following a mass stabbing on the Doncaster to London King’s Cross train, Reform UK councillor Alexander Jones posted on Facebook saying the individuals involved were "not English" and "Black and of Caribbean descent". In replies he wrote that being English required Anglo-Saxon "lineage" and "heritage", remarks that were later deleted from his account. The posts were deleted and Jones later posted on Facebook that his earlier post was "open to interpretations" and he "apologise[d] for any offence caused." A Doncaster Labour spokesperson and local community groups condemned the comments as discriminatory, Reform UK did not respond directly to requests for comment, and Jones remains a councillor who had been Reform’s Doncaster mayoral candidate earlier in 2025.
