  • Undercover footage from an ITV documentary shows Nigel Farage advising a Reform UK candidate accused of racism to apologise rather than facing expulsion from the party.

  • Reform UK communications director Ed Sumner was filmed claiming Farage was protecting Parry, stating he would have expelled the candidate months earlier.

  • Labour condemned the revelations as deeply disturbing, while Reform UK stated that there is no room for racism in the party and criticised ITV's undercover methods.
