Farage: Reform campaigner’s racist comments ‘horrible’

Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage has said that the remarks made by a party campaigner were “horrible”. Andrew Parker, out in the Essex seaside constituency of Clacton, used a racial slur against Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in footage recorded by a Channel 4 News undercover reporter. Mr Farage did however attempt to deflect attention to the Labour Party candidate, saying the Reform UK campaigner's comments were "almost as bad as the Labour candidate in Clacton."
