"I really wanted to come on in a Reform tartan burqa, but apparently I wasn't allowed. One day, let's have one of these events that aren't live streamed. We'll do all the naughty stuff. We'll do all the bits that have gone wrong and all the effing and jeffing when we do our pieces to camera and all the rest it hilarious."
"It took less than 30 seconds for Sarah Pochin to start making jokes about Muslims after her autocue broke."
Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin made controversial comments during the party's Scottish election campaign launch at a country club in Renfrewshire. After her autocue froze, Pochin joked about wanting to wear a Reform tartan burqa, then made additional remarks about doing unfiltered content without live streaming. The comments drew immediate condemnation from other political parties, particularly Labour, which highlighted the timing of the joke following the technical difficulty. This incident is notable given Pochin's previous public statements calling for burqa bans, creating a contradiction in her positions on Muslim religious attire.
