The party leader said he would ‘never have them back’ following the withdrawal of support for three candidates.
Nigel Farage has insisted “the bad apples are gone” from Reform UK after facing accusations from across the political divide that he failed to show leadership over allegations of racism within the party.
The footage showed canvasser Andrew Parker using a slur about Mr Sunak and suggesting migrants arriving in the UK on small boats should be used as “target practice”. “Have we had a few bad apples? We have, although to my knowledge nobody involved in an organised betting ring is standing for us, which is something.”Mr Farage has suggested that Mr Parker, who is an actor, was used as a “plant” by Channel 4 in their undercover investigation into his campaign – a claim the broadcaster strenuously denies.
Channel 4 hit back at the claims Mr Parker was a paid actor, with a spokesperson for the broadcaster saying: “We met Mr Parker for the first time at Reform UK party headquarters, where he was a Reform party canvasser.” “They stand for nothing. I was told they were a broad church. Well they’re a broad church without any religion.
He launched direct attacks against both Mr Sunak and Sir Keir, branding the Prime Minister “slippery Sunak, the biggest spinner since Blair” and saying the Labour leader had “the charisma of a damp rag”.
