Rishi Sunak has said a racial slur against him by a Reform UK canvasser “hurts and it makes me angry” and that party leader Nigel Farage “has some questions to answer”. Campaigners for Mr Farage’s party were recorded making racist comments during a Channel 4 News undercover investigation, including about the Prime Minister who is of Indian descent. Mr Sunak said: “My two daughters have to see and hear Reform people who campaign to Nigel Farage calling me an effing p***. It hurts and it makes me angry, and I think he has some questions to answer. Report by Covellm. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn

00:00My two daughters have to see and hear reform people who campaign for Nigel Farage calling
00:06me an effing c***. It hurts and it makes me angry and I think he has some questions to answer.
00:12And I don't repeat those words lightly, you know, I do so deliberately because
00:18this is too important not to call out clearly for what it is.
00:22When you see reform candidates and campaigners seemingly using racist and misogynistic
00:31language and opinions, seemingly without challenge, I think it tells you something
00:35about the culture within the Reform Party. Andrew Tate isn't an important voice for men,
00:41he's a vile misogynist and our politics and country is better than that. And as Prime
00:48Minister, but more importantly as a father of two young girls,
00:52it's my duty to call out this corrosive and divisive behaviour.
