The Reform UK leader faces questions about his campaigners’ views on immigration and LGBT Pride as the election campaigns enter their final week.
A campaigner for Nigel Farage has been filmed saying small boats migrants should be used as “target practice”, as the General Election campaign enters its final week.
At a £5-a-head event on the campaign trail in Boston, Lincolnshire, Mr Farage said: “We’ve had one or two candidates that have said things they shouldn’t have said. In most cases they’re just speaking like ordinary folk. The broadcaster recorded canvasser Andrew Parker saying army recruits should use migrants arriving by small boats in Kent as “target practice”, as well as using a racial slur against the Prime Minister and labelling Islam a “disgusting cult”.
“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.On the same day, the Guardian reported that Reform UK withdrew support from its Basingstoke, Hampshire, candidate Raymond Saint, who allegedly appeared on a list of BNP members published on the website WikiLeaks more than a decade ago.
“I don’t want people to surrender our borders to Labour, our welfare system to Labour, our national security to Labour.“Alright? I’m up for the fight. I want people to join me in that fight. We should not surrender our country to this. We can do better.”
