"Labour MPs have called for a Reform UK election candidate in Essex to be suspended after he allegedly celebrated the rape of two Sikh women in the Midlands. A joint investigation by The Mirror and the anti-racism campaign group Hope Not Hate alleged Stuart Prior had made a string of racist comments on social media in the past few months."
"Zarah Sultana highlighted the rapes of two Sikh and Punjabi women in Walsall and Oldbury, stating: These horrifying attacks show how racism and misogyny feed each other, fuelled by the rise of fascism and hate. In response, Prior is alleged to have said: Good. Reap it."
"Four Labour MPs sent a joint letter to Reform's leader in Sandwell, calling on him to condemn the comments. The community in Sandwell was shaken to its core last year after a Sikh woman was raped in a racially aggravated attack."
