"Like I said this time last year, I hadn't played for six to nine months and I honestly didn't know if I would ever kick a football again.

Mr Oakenfull posted derogatory comments about the IQ of sub-Saharan Africans on social media last year. He previously told the BBC the remarks had been taken out of context.Mr Lomas reportedly said black people should "get off [their] lazy arses" and stop acting "like savages". The comments were reported by the Times on 8 June, with Reform at the time claiming they were "out of context part quotations" and it needed more time to respond.

Mr Lilley reportedly described people arriving on small boats as "scum" in a social media post, adding: "I hope your family get robbed, beaten or attacked."Asked about the comments on a, Mr Farage said: "You get people in all parties saying bad things and wrong things."

However, he argued this was partly the consequence of having to find candidates quickly following the surprise announcement that there would be a general election in July.Since the start of the election campaign, Reform has faced persistent questions over its selection of candidates, after numerous examples of offensive social media posts emerged.

All the main parties have had to drop potential parliamentary candidates over inappropriate comments, however this has been the case for more Reform candidates than other parties.

The party has blamed a company it hired to conduct background checks on would-be candidates, claiming it failed to carry out vetting before the election was called.One minute Harry Foster was at the park with his daughter Olivia, 24 hours later she had died.

Two years later, as part of his "mission" to raise awareness for the charity 2 Wish, which supported him and his wife Rebecca, he will embark on a challenge of running 5km a day throughout May.Mr Foster, of Street, Somerset, is asking for others to get involved too: "There's a chance for people to either join the team and commit fully to doing 5km a day in May, running, cycling or walking. Or to possibly think about joining one of the community events."

The charity 2 Wish says they have been able to support more families in Somerset thanks to the "ripple effect" that Mr Foster's awareness has had.The charity says its mission is to "ensure that all those affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child or young adult aged 25 or under receive the bereavement support they need and deserve".
