The Reform UK party in Bracknell has mourned the loss of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk who was killed yesterday.
The Reform UK party in Bracknell is mourning the tragic loss of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed at Utah Valley University on September 10. He was just 31 years old and is survived by his wife and two children.
In a heartfelt tribute on Facebook, Reform UK Bracknell expressed: "We are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk, a passionate activist and influential voice in political youth engagement. Charlie dedicated himself to sparking debate, energising young people and standing firmly for his beliefs. He founded Turning Point USA and became known for his 'American Comeback Tour' and 'Prove Me Wrong' events, always ready to engage and challenge conversations.
"On behalf of everyone at Reform UK Bracknell, we extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who were inspired by his work. His loss is felt not just within the conservative movement but across the wider political landscape where the courage to speak and debate is so precious. May we honour Charlie’s memory by rejecting political violence, promoting respectful public discourse, and striving for the honesty and conviction he stood for. Rest in peace, Charlie. You will be remembered."
Charlie Kirk founded Turning Point USA in 2012, a movement focused on campus activism, and later launched Turning Point UK in 2018. Nick Tenconi, the chief operating officer of Turning Point UK, currently leads the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP).
