Nigel Farage gives press conference amid racism row
Nigel Farage will give a press conference at 2pm as he faces calls to break his “deafening” silence after a Reform MP said seeing adverts full of Black and Asian people “drives me mad”.
Anna Turley, who chairs the Labour Party, has written to the Reform UK leader demanding to know why he has not responded to comments made by Sarah Pochin.
Responding to a caller’s question on Talk TV at the weekend, Runcorn and Helsby MP Ms Pochin said: “It drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people, you know people who are anything other than white”.
Ms Turley wrote to the Reform chief: “Sarah Pochin’s comments were a disgrace. And your silence is deafening.”
