Reform has confirmed "no further action" will be taken against two councillors who were secretly filmed appearing to advocate for the execution of grooming gang members.
Adam Parkins, a Reform councillor in Hounslow, west London, allegedly told an undercover ITV reporter that he would "quite happily do Sunday morning Rose Garden executions of f*****g rape gangs".
"Give me a f****** pistol, and I'll walk behind them and go 'boom, boom, boom'... I would do that without f****** thinking for a second about it, and I’d go up and have my coffee," he is said to have admitted.
David Kerr, a Reform councillor in the same London borough, is said to have agreed with Mr Parkins, saying he could reduce offending rates if he could "line up a few thousand grooming gang perpetrators and machine gun them down".
It was previously understood that both councillors were under investigation following the undercover operation.
However, a Reform spokesman has now confirmed to GB News that "no further action will be taken" against the pair.
"Where members, activists and councillors have clearly behaved inappropriately, investigations have commenced," the spokesman said.
"In some cases, there have been suspensions and due process must be followed.
"Cllrs Parkins and Kerr were giving their own personal opinions on the death penalty for members of child rape gangs in what they believed was a private conversation.
"We will not be taking further action against them."
The revelations come just days after Nigel Farage's party said they have "no room for racism" following further allegations that Reform members were making graphic threats of extreme violence and expressing racist and misogynistic views.
In the outlet's latest revelations, party activist Jason Powell reportedly said "you cannot be a Muslim and British", describing it as "like oil and water".
And, speaking at a party event organised to thank volunteers who helped Mr Farage secure his Clacton seat, Mr Powell expressed his backing for migration concentration camps.
"Anyone who comes across on a boat, as an example, in the first week of election, build concentration camps, and everyone who comes across on the channel, you're in there," he said.
"They just need to be rounded up, every single last one of them, and sent to those concentration camps, and then be given an ultimatum. Where are you from? Because you're going back there. If you don't tell us, you're staying here for the rest of your life."
Mr Powell has since been suspended from party membership while Reform carries out an internal investigation. He posted a 45-minute long YouTube video explaining his views, posting on Facebook: "Damn your eyes if you think I'm bigoted or extremist".
Gawain Towler, a senior member of Reform, is said to have admitted to the broadcaster that he was "racist every single day" at school.
The comments came when asked about allegations of Mr Farage's behaviour while attending Dulwich College.
More than a dozen former pupils who shared an education with the Reform leader between the late 1970s and early 1980s have accused him of racist behaviour.
Mr Farage told GB News at the time that he "categorically denies saying those things", but later said to the BBC it would be a "pity" if he upset anyone with his behaviour, adding: "I'm sorry, but never, ever did I intend to hurt anybody".
Mr Towler, who has known Mr Farage for around two decades, told ITV he was appalled by his views as a child and admitted he had no knowledge of the alleged remarks by the Reform leader.
The 90-minute ITV Exposure documentary, titled Undercover: A Year in Reform, airs tonight at 10:20pm.
Three councillors have already resigned this week following the report's findings, while two individuals have left the party entirely.
