A Reform UK candidate for the Oxfordshire local elections who claimed that Jimmy Savile was an “innocent man” and a “working class hero” as well as being his "role model" has been suspended by his party.
Stephen Hartley, who was listed for the Banbury Hardwick division in the upcoming county council elections, has received a huge backlash for showing support for the prolific abuser who died in 2011.
A series of public social media posts between October 2021 and April 2022 protesting Savile’s innocence have been widely condemned by horrified politicians across the county.
