Rishi Sunak speaks of hurt & anger at daughters hearing racial slur from Reform activists

Rishi Sunak has spoken of his hurt and anger at his daughters having to hear Reform activists using a racial slur about him. Andrew Parker was captured by an undercover Channel 4 reporter posing as a fellow canvasser in Clacton, Essex, where leader Mr Farage is a candidate. In a statement to Channel 4, Mr Farage said: "I am dismayed by the reported comments of a handful of people associated with my local campaign, particularly those who are volunteers. They will no longer be with the campaign. "The appalling sentiments expressed by some in these exchanges bear no relation to my own views, those of the vast majority of our supporters or Reform UK policy. Some of the language used was reprehensible." However, Mr Farage has used reports Mr Parker was a part-time actor to suggest the incriminating film was a "total set-up", claiming "it was an act right from the very start." Channel 4 News has denied Mr Farage's claims. The other candidates in Clacton are: Matthew Bensilum, Liberal Democrat Craig Jamieson, Climate Party Tony Mack, Independent Natasha Oben, Green Party Tasos Papanastasiou, Heritage Party Andrew Pemberton, UK Independence Party Giles Watling, Conservative Read more here: https://news.sky.com/story/rishi-sunak-speaks-of-hurt-and-anger-at-daughters-hearing-racial-slur-from-reform-activists-13160397 #skynews #politics #uk SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzG5BnqHO8oNlrPDW9CYJog To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
