Andrew Parker, who is canvassing in Clacton, also described Islam as ‘a cult’ and suggested asylum seekers should be shot

A Reform UK activist in the constituency where Nigel Farage is standing has been secretly filmed making extremely racist comments about Rishi Sunak, as well as using Islamophobic and other offensive language.

Farage said he was “dismayed” by the views expressed by Andrew Parker, a Reform canvasser, who was filmed as part of an undercover investigation by Channel 4 News.

The channel also secretly filmed George Jones, a longtime party activist who organises events for Farage, making homophobic comments, calling the Pride flag “degenerate” and LGBT people “nonces”.

The emergence of the footage, filming of which concluded last week, comes on the same day that Reform dropped an election candidate in another seat, after the Guardian informed the party that Raymond Saint had been on a list of members of the British National party.

    Which are the extreme left parties? Especially the one with members who make extremely racist and homophobic remarks?

      The Workers Party of Britain springs to mind

        Ah yes, the reformist, homophobic, climate skeptical, patriotic socialist party. Obviously I am describing a modern extreme left party, and not a certain german party during the 1920’s.

          You mean Galloways party. Because that’s what we should call it because that’s the only member. And he probably isn’t going to win his seat again.
