Farage admits flaws after canvasser's offensive remark
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has admitted that the party is not “perfect” after a Channel 4 investigation filmed a canvasser saying that migrants crossing the Channel should be used as “target practice”.
Mr Farage said "you get the odd exception, like Andrew Parker, that turns up and is gratuitiously offensive, and that is wrong, and he is gone." Report by Covellm.
