Nigel Farage has declined to apologise over ITV footage, obtained undercover, showing Reform councillors referring to Asian families as "parasites", describing black children as "animals" and calling for King Charles to be beheaded as a "secret Muslim". Instead, he argued that journalists had drawn out the remarks. Farage said the investigation was launched "because the establishment frankly want us out of the picture", adding that other parties would produce comparable findings if put under equivalent scrutiny. The ITV documentary 'Undercover: A Year in Reform' — set to broadcast in full this Sunday — captured eight councillors and candidates making racist, violent and sexist remarks over a year of filming. At least three councillors have since left the party, with further members suspended while investigations continue.
Solihull deputy mayor Alan Feeney was caught on camera calling Asian homeowners "absolute parasites" who should be "dragged out of their homes" and "f***ed off to Pakistan".
Bromley councillor Dean Miller told undercover reporters King Charles "is a Muslim" and called for him to be beheaded for betraying the country.
Labour chair Bridget Phillipson accused Farage of "making excuses for abhorrent views" and said Reform was "totally unfit for public office".
