ODN

Labour’s Darren Jones says that it is the responsibility of Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage to tackle racism within the party. He said: “When it comes to a political party, if there is evidence of this type of behaviour, it is incumbent on the leaders of those parties to take swift and decisive action.” It comes as a Channel 4 investigation filmed a canvasser saying that migrants crossing the Channel should be used as “target practice”.

00:06they're involved in politics or not. But when it comes to a political party, if there's evidence

00:11of this type of behaviour, which there clearly is, it's incumbent on the leaders of those parties to

00:15take swift and decisive action to make it clear that that type of behaviour is not welcome in

00:19British politics. Nigel Farage is the leader of the Reform Party, so yes, the buck does stop with

00:24him. If you look to the way in which Keir Starmer runs the Labour Party, for example, any drop in

00:32the standards of behaviour or ethics from any of us is dealt with in a very swift and clear manner,
