Rishi Sunak speaks of hurt & anger at daughters hearing racial slur from Reform activists

Rishi Sunak has spoken of his hurt and anger at his daughters having to hear Reform activists using a racial slur about him.

Andrew Parker was captured by an undercover Channel 4 reporter posing as a fellow canvasser in Clacton, Essex, where leader Mr Farage is a candidate.

In a statement to Channel 4, Mr Farage said: "I am dismayed by the reported comments of a handful of people associated with my local campaign, particularly those who are volunteers. They will no longer be with the campaign.

"The appalling sentiments expressed by some in these exchanges bear no relation to my own views, those of the vast majority of our supporters or Reform UK policy. Some of the language used was reprehensible."

However, Mr Farage has used reports Mr Parker was a part-time actor to suggest the incriminating film was a "total set-up", claiming "it was an act right from the very start."

Channel 4 News has denied Mr Farage's claims.

The other candidates in Clacton are:

Matthew Bensilum, Liberal Democrat

Craig Jamieson, Climate Party

Tony Mack, Independent

Natasha Oben, Green Party

Tasos Papanastasiou, Heritage Party

Andrew Pemberton, UK Independence Party

Giles Watling, Conservative

How does he feel now that he realises he's been duped by Channel 4? Shame on every idiot who fell for it.

[twisteddancer]

Sunak is doing a excellent job at getting even more people to vote for Reform. Well done

[jamestoland]

Is there going to be a correction in the media saying he was in fact an actor?

[AnthonyStorm]

It was a paid actor. Channel 4 are a disgrace.

Yesterday Rishi Sunak was told by his advisor "don't worry Prime Minister we have sorted that Farage out for good, all top secret, nudge nudge, wink, wink", next day advisor tells Rishi Sunak "Oh heck it's all gone wrong Prime Minister, the entire country now knows it's our dirty trick against Farage, they just polled another 50 points over us, sorry"

Racial slure by a paid actor question is who paid him .

[RobertSimkin]

[johnnewman]

SUNAK may be angry BUT NOT HALF AS ANGRY AS THE BRITISH PEOPLE WITH THE TORIES!!!!

Tolerates how Tories demonise others, and know complains when Reform demonises him. Karma

[pedrorenard]

[bfreespeak_freely]

Oh dear, Sunak has been duped as well. The guy is an actor. Poor PM can’t put a foot right.

[peteram]

He would be upset, Sunak see's himself as an Indian not a Pakistani.

[Faly]

Reform voters try not to be racist challenge: IMPOSSIBLE EDITION

[markquinn]

Fake news straight from the horses mouth.

[cdeford]

He should be careful jumping on the bandwagon if it proves that the 'activist' was an actor hired by Channel 4, as is now being alleged.

[brg]

Typical diversion tactics to remove the heat from Rishi himself.

[RodHargreaves]

So now he's using his own daughters for emotional leverage? And the whole thing was faked anyway. Sunak is a disgrace

[oldmanandguitar]

Paid up memebr of actors union equity, not reform.
