The Reform UK leader faced questions from the audience on footage captured by Channel 4 of racist and homophobic comments made by party canvassers.

Mr Farage said: “I’ve done more to drive the far right out of British politics than anybody else alive.

“I took on the BNP just over a decade ago. I said to their voters, if this is a protest vote but you don’t support their racist agenda, don’t vote for them, vote for me, destroyed them.”
