Reform UK candidates have said some wild and violent things in the runup to the 2026 local elections. Comments from this next candidate may the wildest and most violent yet, although — to be fair — they are also the least likely to manifest:
Meet Steve Lewis, a Reform candidate in Wakefield. He wants to support local businesses and communities and… er… “bring holy fire down on those who mock God”. He also thinks the Rapture will happen in April 2026, so he may have a very short campaign.https://t.co/WRfUCLkH0p pic.twitter.com/Jky48tkwY8

Reform vs the good lord
Candidate Steve Lewis believes that the Rapture is coming. If you’re unfamiliar, the ‘Rapture’ is the time when God’s chosen are called up to heaven, with the sinners left behind. This could be a problem for Lewis, because we’re not convinced the Reform manifesto lines up with the teachings of Christ.
In his official candidate statement, Lewis stated that he is concerned with “cracking down on illegal migration, supporting local businesses, supporting local communities, tackling the cost of living crises”, all of which is standard Reform messaging.
To be fair, Jesus no doubt would have sought to tackle the Cost-of-Living Crisis; we’re just less sure he’d take a hardline stance on migration (or even consider human beings to be “illegal”).
Lewis gets considerably more hardline with his rhetoric too. Posting under the name ‘Stif Luis’, this is what he said on Facebook:
We suspect Lewis might not have made it to the New Testament yet, because this is all deeply un-Christ-like.
Jesus had a “spiritual team” too, we suppose, but his disciples weren’t out there ‘terrifying folks for eternity’. You could say the money lenders were terrified of Jesus, but the modern-day money people are all donating to Reform.
Cancelling Christmas
While some Reform supporters might be in favour of the violent Old Testament rhetoric, we doubt they’ll like this next bit.
This is what Lewis had to say about Christmas — Britain’s favourite holiday:
Christmas pagan holiday to worship the sun god Saturnalia. Santa spells Satan.
My brother in Christ, that is not how spelling works!
We doubt this will go down well with the GB News viewers, anyway. Those people freak out when they see a box of mince pies without the word ‘Christmas’ on it; imagine how they’ll react to being told candy canes are the Devil’s dingdong?
Reform’s blasphemy
Lewis is also something of a blasphemer too, having stated the following:
I will bring holy fire down on anyone who gets in my way […] I AM AN ANGEL OF THE MOST HIGH AND HE SPEAKS THROUGH ME LET GLORY BE TO GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AMEN
Saying that, is it blasphemy to claim you’re an angel?
We know it’s blasphemy to claim you’re Jesus Christ, because Donald Trump did that recently, and all his Christian supporters got very mad.
It’s certainly an odd thing to do, anyway, and we’re pretty sure he’s not an angel. If nothing else, an angel wouldn’t be posting on Facebook:
Vetting failures
Honestly, it feels less than Christian to be making fun of this person, because Lewis guy clearly has something wrong with him. The reason we’re putting this out there is because once again it shows REFORM ISN’T VETTING ITS CANDIDATES.
Or, even worse, it is vetting them, and it just don’t care if a person is racist and/or delusional.
For further examples of this, see the following:
- Reform activist said ‘Hitler was right’.
- Reform candidate wants to ‘tear down’ the NHS.
- Reform candidate exposed as a horny nincompoop.
- Reform welcomes ‘shoot the p*kis’ scandal ex-Tory.
- Reform UK accused of ‘nil vetting’ as another racist candidate exposed.
