Reform’s organisational challenges are becoming harder to ignore: only 5 MPs, rapid turnover in party leadership, few councillors and a turbulent record in local councils. For a party aiming to govern, the spotlight is now much harsher.

Alan Sked has alleged Farage used various n-word slurs in 1997, aged 33, not 13 or 17. It would be useful to get a categorical denial or a more equivocal one to be clear about what Farage in 2025 is saying & denying about his use of racial insults as so-called "banter" & when that had ended

A key question to Nigel Farage is this
You have said your schooldays were 40+ years ago.
Can you say categorically that you never used the most offensive racial slurs - words like the n-word, p-word and wog - as an adult?
