Undercover Inside Reform’s Campaign - evidence of homophobia and canvasser's racism

Nigel Farage has always insisted his Reform party is not racist or extremist - dismissing unsavoury comments as pub banter.

But we've been undercover inside his Clacton campaign and discovered shocking examples of both.

We've also recorded conversations with the senior campaign team which raise questions over whether the party may have breached legal spending limits - something it denies.

Our Communities Editor Darshna Soni has this report which was produced in association with Lee Sorrell Media. And a warning it contains racist and extremely offensive language throughout.

Meanwhile, Labour candidate enjoys 'White man tears'. Missed by Channel 4 News.

Andrew Parker is an actor, from London, who strangely travelled 85 miles to canvass Farage's constituency. It states on his page that he specialises in 'rough voices' which he uses here, not his own spoken voice and also 'undercover filming' Channel 4 claim they did not pay Parker, but of course they paid the production company who set this up. Parker has also worked for the production company before for Ch4. Channel 4 need investigating for election interference.

Remember peeps . Ch4 like the bbc is publicly funded .

I hope Farage takes legal action on this second rate actor.

The reality is that channel 4 is trying to create this type of racist society, by hiring an actor.

I have not seriously considered Reform as a party to vote for. But now that I see a string of suspicious looking "smears" against them, it's made me look at them more seriously!

[sambishop]

Hi C4.
I’m an aspiring actor and can play a racist really well.
Please consider me when you try and frame the reform party again.

[Woolfy_]

This has had the opposite effect that channel four wanted 😂

[KYR_SZ]

I’ll be honest I was apathetic about voting, as I see it over all the Conservatives and Labour differences are basically the colour of the rosette. This kinda of media hatchet job has convinced me to get out and vote reform if only to have my vote counted. I’m in a Labour safe seat, democracy is dead.

Channel 4 should be taken off air. Election interference.

[JW-YT]

This scam blew up in your face big time. Hopefully your hit in the pocket in court. Only way you'll learn.

[standstand]

Election interference will have dire consequences for any involved.

[CrueLoaf]

Media on the warpath. Trying to stitch up this party because they are getting too popular. That's how it looks from here!

[Featherface]

Yeah, nice try Channel 4, we're not that stupid.

[jnf]

Why is this falsely titled video still up? Channel 4, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

[gi]

Reform's support has probably increased after this was aired.

[williamdeypres]

Channel Four. Oh dear oh dear. This was meant to be a Reform hatchet job. Now they have a lot of explaining to do.

[craigshannon]

I'm glad 100% of comments now know this guy is an actor, I lost trust in mainstream media a long time ago.

[jonmurph]

The fact that they've tried this makes me think we need Reform UK even more.
And don't forget CH4 is a government run organisation 🤔
