Nigel Farage mocked on BBC Question Time for association with ‘racists’ – live updates


Tory Election Betting Probe: Welsh Secretary Calls for Investigation

The recent scandal involving Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has caused quite a stir, with accusations of employing “a whole slew of massive racists” within his party. During a BBC Question Time session, Farage was confronted about racist and homophobic comments made by Reform campaigners in Clacton.

One activist suggested that migrants arriving by small boat should be used as “target practice,” leading to an uproar in the audience. Another campaigner referred to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak using a derogatory term in an undercover Channel 4 investigation.

Essex Police are now investigating whether any criminal offenses were committed during these incidents. Sunak expressed his hurt and anger over the comments, especially since his daughters had to hear them.

Farage, on the other hand, claimed that the whole situation was a “set-up” and that the campaigner who made the racist remarks was an actor. However, Channel 4 has dismissed these claims, stating that the individual was a genuine Reform UK canvasser.

The Green Party also weighed in on the controversy, condemning Farage’s party for fostering a culture of racism, Islamophobia, and homophobia. Co-Leader Carla Denyer called out Farage for enabling such behavior within his party.

As the investigation unfolds and more details emerge, the political landscape in the UK is sure to be shaken by this scandal. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
