Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed his 'hurt and anger' after a Reform UK canvasser used a racial slur against him. Sunak, who is of Indian descent, condemned the offensive language, stating that it was particularly painful for his daughters to hear. The incident occurred during a campaign in Clacton and has drawn widespread criticism, with Sunak calling on Reform UK leader Nigel Farage to address the issue.
