Nigel Farage said he was “dismayed” after a Reform UK activist was caught using a racial slur to describe prime minister Rishi Sunak.
Mr Farage said the language used by local party activist Andrew Parker - who referred to Mr Sunak as a “f****** p***” - was “reprehensible”.
Mr Parker was heard using the racial slur while canvassing in Clacton, Essex, where Mr Farage is standing as an MP in the general election.
Mr Parker, who was filmed as part of an undercover investigation by Channel 4 News, said: “I’ve always been a Tory voter. But what annoys me is that f****** p*** we’ve got in. What good is he? You tell me, you know. He’s just wet. F****** useless”.
He also suggested Army recruits should carry out “target practice” on migrants arriving on small boats across the English Channel.
It comes after an MRP poll has predicted Reform UK is set to win 18 seats in the upcoming general election, compared to the Tories’ 15 per cent of the votes.
