Lynn Dean suspended after an undisclosed account was linked to racist posts about black people
Category: racism
Lynn Dean was suspended by Reform UK in March 2026 after Hope Not Hate alleged that racist posts on an X account, including offensive remarks about black people and people from Africa, were her work. Reform said the suspension was over her failure to disclose the account during vetting, and an investigation would follow. Council leader Martin Murray called the comments "unacceptable". Dean declined to comment.
