Rishi Sunak Says Reform UK's Nigel Farage Has Questions To Answer

Rishi Sunak said a racial slur against him by a Reform UK canvasser “hurts and it makes me angry” and that party leader Nigel Farage “has some questions to answer”.

Campaigners for Mr Farage’s party were recorded making racist comments, including about the Prime Minister who is of Indian descent.

Mr Sunak on Friday said: “My two daughters have to see and hear Reform people who campaign for Nigel Farage calling me an effing p***. It hurts and it makes me angry, and I think he has some questions to answer.

“And I don’t repeat those words lightly. I do so deliberately, because this is too important not to call out clearly for what it is.”

Speaking on a campaign visit to a school in Teesside, he continued: “As Prime Minister, but more importantly as a father of two young girls, it’s my duty to call out this corrosive and divisive behaviour.”

The footage, made by an undercover Channel 4 reporter, showed Reform campaigner Andrew Parker using the racist term about Mr Sunak and suggesting migrants should be used as “target practice”.

Another canvasser described the Pride flag as “degenerate” and suggested members of the LGBT community are paedophiles.

Farage can’t be responsible for what comes out of people’s mouths. It won’t stop me for voting for Reform.

[ianjackson]

The only question on the voters lips is "Why are you so awesome Nigel?" Vote reform

[bernardm]

Rishi owes the reform party and apology? Is he that gullible to not know it wasn't real

[williamrowland]

Just looked on Google and channel 4 is owned by the government. 😮😮

[markedwards]

A vote for the Tories is a vote for labour. I will be voting for reform UK for a better uk

[leefletcher]

A paid actor 🤔vote reform it’s time for change

[frankjenkins]

Rishi your finished . You’re just clutching at straws. Nothing to see here move along.

[benbeck]

THE MORE I HEAR FROM THE LARGE NEWS PLATFORMS THE HARDER I WORK TO GET MORE PEOPLE TO VOTE REFORM UK.

[imbonkers]

How about sunak answer about the thousands of shares he bought in moderna cheap 😮then gave them a contract to build a factory in uk and share prices went ⬆️🙄

Channel 4 is publicly owned…. Shouldn’t there be an investigation into this? Seems like a big coincidence that their undercover production team happened to bump into an actor with experience of playing a bad guy, and undercover stories? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Rishi is deliberately deconstructing this country and he's pretending that he's upset by some shifty volunteer for a party? Sure you are mate.

[JohnWilliams-ww]

I think the answers are with Channel 4.

[suzy]

Channel 4 still denying it's a set up

[Bazgren]

Not as many questions as channel 4 and Sunak himself have got to answer

[Chris-hyjy]

Channel 4 are the only people who have questions to answer!

[benbeck]

Rishi, book your flight to California. HE WAS AN ACTOR.

[constable]

If it was an actor, he was probably paid by the Tories

[janpetersen]

By calling a snap election, Sunak gifted power to Starmer. It was stupidly done.

[johnwatson]

Nigel farage is a patriotic man who loves his country. I’m voting reform and almost everyone I know is doing the same. things need to change in this country before it’s to late.
