Nigel Farage’s Reform UK campaign in Clacton has come under scrutiny after a volunteer canvasser, Andrew Parker, was filmed using a racial slur against Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Channel 4 News conducted an undercover investigation, led by Darshna Soni, that revealed evidence of anti-migrant rhetoric, homophobia, and offensive remarks within the campaign. Farage condemned the comments as 'horrible' but also deflected by accusing the Labour candidate of making slurs against white people. Farage later claimed the canvasser was an 'actor.' Sunak expressed his hurt and anger, emphasizing the impact on his family and stating that Farage has questions to answer.
