Channel 4 released an undercover report last night into the Reform campaign in Clacton. They found evidence of anti-migrant rhetoric, homophobia and one canvasser “making racist and offensive remarks”. As Nigel says, the remarks were clearly “reprehensible” and it’s right they were booted out the Party…

The news channel were quick to identify all the Reform team’s exact roles in the short documentary. However, they don’t report that the racist canvasser, Andrew Parker, also appears to be an actor by profession, who is often offered the “villain and mafia type”. A role he likely doesn’t have to act out of character for…

Still, Parker is evidentially a loony. Perhaps he’s taken method acting a little too seriously…

UPDATE I: Andrew Parker has told GB News reporter Charlie Peters that he rejects any suggestion that he was a “paid actor” set-up to make Reform look bad. Parker added that acting represents a “tiny” portion of his income.

UPDATE II: Channel 4 respond:  “We did not pay the Reform UK canvasser or anyone else in this report.  Mr Parker was not known to Channel 4 News and was filmed covertly via the undercover operation.”

UPDATE III: Nigel Farage tells Loose Women “this guy is a set-up, I have no doubt about it”.
