Will the Reform racism row cost votes? Feat. Belinda de Lucy & Henry Bonsu | Storm Huntley

Will Reform's racism row cost them votes?
The party leader - Nigel Farage - has been criticised by both the Tories and Labour for failing to tackle allegations of racism in the party.
It's after a party campaigner in Essex was recorded by an undercover journalist from Channel 4 making racist comments about Rishi Sunak.
Mr Farage has said he was 'dismayed' by the comments and claims the campaigner - called Andrew Parker - had nothing to do with the party.
Channel 4 News say they stand by their rigorous journalism, and did not pay any Reform canvasser or anyone else in the report. Mr Parker was not known to Channel 4 news and was filmed undercover.
And Rishi Sunak has got involved too - saying the racist comments made him 'angry'...
And now, one of the party's candidates - Liam Booth-Isherwood- has stepped down - blaming what he described as a 'failure of leadership' over allegations of racism in the party

To refer to that actor shown on Channel4 as a Reform Party campaigner is absolute nonsense because we have been shown that it was actually his first time of turning up to allegedly help. It was clearly a set up and demonstrates just how gullible many people are.

[@Threewheelwagon]

There are too many coincidences around this. He's an actor who promotes his alter ego 'rough speaker' online. He turned up for the first time to doorstep people. The undercover crew gravitated to him amongst 50 other volunteers. He then gave them exactly what they were looking for in an exaggerated caricatured way. A new low in our politics, watch out for more gaslighting to come. The UniParty really does not want any reform of a system that works just fine for them.

[@rickcrombie]

The 'leafleter' Andrew Parker is an actor who has worked for production companies contracted by Channel 4 - the whole thing was a complete stitch-up! (AND YOU KNOW IT!!!)

Hilarious they still go on about they actor as if there aren't the strangest circumstances and set of 'random' coincidences. Of all the canvassers he rocks up on day 1 and just so happens to be paired with the undercover team. Not only that, but he's an actor that's completely randomly and without any reason... acting, not being himself and being a character he does, spouting all sorts of OTT language on peolles doorsteps in a different voice. He denied he was an actor, then admitted it, his page exposed him, he's posh not common, specialises in secret filming. It's just a ridiculous amount of weird events and coincidences. I'm not buying it, something is wrong there and no-one with a brain should buy it without some serious doubt.

So this is a really easy question, it is the FIRST question. Q: the actor concerned is very well- spoken on his show reel in his real voice.... is there a reason he acted with the " very rough" voice (the one he demo-ed on his actor's show reel), when being filmed for ch4 ? if YOU were canvassing would you put on a different voice? if you can't answer this... go back to start

[@christinalayzelle832]

It has been unequivocally established that the principal character in the Channel 4 Reform 'racist exposé' debacle is in fact an actor who has previously worked for Channel 4 on other projects, and whose self-proclaimed Equity professional specialities include adopting a theatrical (quote) 'rough voice' AND (quote) 'undercover filming'. Plainly, this entire matter has been a ludicrously clumsy attempted stitch-up of both Nigel Farage and ReformUK just a few days before the General Election, and which may well yet lead to criminal charges against the participants.

[@matthewclifton2510]

Never answer the question as to whether the production company paid Andrew Parker. Channel 4 didn't pay him directly but did the production company. Why are none of the media asking these questions?

[@topdeckstu1580]

Farage is a smooth operator. All Reform can discuss is Immigration there far more important issues such as cost of living and the NHS. The public are being manipulated by Reform.

[@c.c.8841]

the more people are ignored the angrier they get, wouldn't you be angry if social housing was taken up by people who have no heritage in the UK while people who do have families and relatives who have defended this country get pushed to the back of the queue. not everyone qualifies for a mortgage so affodable private housing does not exist. its no good pretending that everyone can qualify by cheaper mortgages as this only leads to evictions and re posession.
