A Reform UK candidate has disowned the party and is backing the Conservatives amid a row over racism.Liam Booth-Isherwood, who was standing in Erewash, said he is suspending his campaign and backing the Tory candidate Maggie Throup to win the seat.The deadline for candidate nominations has passed, so he will still appear on the ballot as the Reform candidate.He said in a statement: 'Over the past few weeks, I have been increasingly disillusioned with the behaviour and conduct of Reform.
'Whilst I have campaigned alongside many decent, honest and hard-working people during the course of the general election campaign in Erewash, the reports of widespread racism and sexism in Reform have made clear that there is a significant moral issue within certain elements of the party, and the failure of the party's leadership to not only take this matter seriously, but also to fundamentally address it, has made clear to me that this is no longer a party I want to be associated with.
