Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has repeated claims that canvasser Andrew Parker (right), who branded Prime Minister Rishi Sunak a 'f****** p***', is an actor, on tonight's Question Time.
Nigel Farage has repeated claims that a canvasser caught on camera branding Rishi Sunak a 'f****** p***' is actually an actor playing his part in 'a total and utter set-up', during a fiery appearance on Question Time.
Other campaigners in Clacton, the town where Mr Farage is hoping to become MP on July 4, suggested LGBT people are 'degenerate', would turn the police into 'paramilitaries' and would bring back 'the noose'. A bullish Mr Farage wrestled with his hands as he spoke and insisted it had been 'a political setup of astonishing proportions'
He added: 'Let me tell you, from the minute he turned up in that office in Clacton and I saw him, he was acting from the very start. He even says on his website, 'hire me, I do undercover filming'. Elsewhere, Mr Farage was faced with laughter from the BBC Question Time audience when he said he has 'no idea' why candidates who have made racist comments are still standing for Reform.
When asked: 'So why is he your candidate?' Mr Farage said: 'I have no idea', prompting laughter from the audience. The Reform UK leader was earlier seen hot-footing it into the venue hosting tonight's leaders' debate ahead of the General Election, amid shouts from pro-refugee protesters outside the studio.
However, he refused when asked three times if he had been paid to infiltrate Reform UK to make their volunteers appear racist. Mr Parker says his primary income has come from being a property developer. He says he is a part time actor who has been an extra in the Ricky Gervais film David Brent: Life on the Road and is well-suited to playing 'the villain or Mafia-type' roles.
Mr Farage appeared alongside Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay on the BBC Question Time Leaders' Special During Friday night's appearance on Question Time, Mr Farage said what had happened was 'unbelievable' and that most of what had appeared in the report 'didn't ring true.'
