Mum vows to flee UK after early Reform local election wins | News UK

A mum who says the UK is ‘becoming racist’ has vowed to ditch Britain for Bali by the end of the year.

Beth Ware, 28, said she doesn’t want her children to grow up in an ‘environment that promotes so much hatred’.

Her comments come as this year’s local election results are announced, showing early signs of promise for Reform UK – something Ware blames for an ‘increase in hostility’ she claims to have noticed gripping the country.

Beth, who lives in Kent, said: ‘The UK is becoming racist.

‘I know that racism has been around for a very long time in the UK, and I feel so sorry for people who have experienced it more under the radar, but now it’s a lot more out in the open and people are feeling ok to make these kinds of comments.

‘I regularly see posts in my area of people warning about ‘mixing of breeding’, ‘mixing ethnicities’ and how white British people soon won’t be white.’

The mum-of-two, whose children are mixed race, finds this change particularly concerning.

‘As a mother of mixed children, that language is so frightening, and it’s just not something I would expect to hear in 2026 whatsoever,’ she added.

Ware, a mindset coach, says she ‘knows she can’t bubble wrap her children’ and that ‘racism exists everywhere’. ‘But I really want to get out before it could possibly become like the USA.’

She has now begun liquidating her assets and has started reaching out to hotels and resorts on the Indonesian island in search of work.

Ware’s decision to leave the country comes as votes in the local, Scottish and Welsh elections are counted.

With Labour looking set to suffer catastrophic losses, Nigel Farage’s Party is expected to be the main beneficiary in the largest test for Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership since the entire country went to the polls back in 2024.

Beth is concerned not only about Reform’s immigration policies, but also comments made by former Reform candidate Matt Goodwin in favour of a ‘negative child benefit tax’ on adults who do not have children.

Though not reflective of official Reform policy, Goodwin’s comments proved controversial during his ultimately unsuccessful by-election campaign in Gorton and Denton earlier this year.

The Party has also outlined plans to scrap the Equality Act and reimpose the two-child benefit cap.

‘One thing is the racism that Reform is promoting, but the other thing is that they are looking to start teaching girls at a young age the importance of having children early,’ Ware added.

‘That’s so scary to me, that’s giving The Handmaid’s Tale, the fact that they are looking at taxing women more who don’t have children.’

She added: ‘I’m very proud to be British. I have generations and generations of very noble British men, British women, but the problem is I feel the flag is being used as a weapon.’

Reform UK has been contacted for comment.
