UK Reform Party Deputy Leader Won’t Condemn Councillor’s Anti-Nigerian Remarks

Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice declined to directly condemn comments by Sunderland councillor Glenn Gibbins during a BBC interview. Gibbins’s resurfaced posts suggested Nigerians should be “melted down to fill potholes” and included other offensive slurs. When questioned on the councillor’s past social media remarks, Tice shifted focus away from the controversy without offering a clear rebuke. The exchange took place on BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg. The incident has sparked debate over tolerance and leadership responsibility within the party.
