00:00Mr Farage, Channel 4 News. Would you, um, would you apologise to the Prime Minister for

00:05the appalling racist way that one of your campaigners spoke about Rishi Sunak?

00:09That was horrible.

00:10Do you apologise to the Prime Minister?

00:12It was horrible.

00:13That's not quite an apology, is it?

00:15You can't go, how much further can I go? Of course this is an apology, it was horrible.

00:18I don't know who this bloke is, somebody I met once years ago. I mean, awful, horrible,

00:24horrible. Almost as bad as, almost as bad as the Labour candidate in Clacton

00:28and his slurs on white people. Have you covered that?

00:30I'm here to focus.

00:31No, no, no. Have you covered the Labour? No, no.

00:32We scrutinise all of the parties.

00:34Well, that's what I want to know.

00:35But if you aren't appalled by this as you say you are, why are you trying to deflect?

00:40Why are you trying to deflect if you are as appalled as you say you are?

00:42Have you covered the racism of the Labour candidate?

00:44Because I would like to ask you also about the members of your inner circle,

00:47because they've also made homophobic, racist, xenophobic comments.

00:51People who have seen your roles in your campaign in Clacton.

00:54I will drink white men's tears. I'm standing for black and Asian people,

00:57not for a seat.
