Nigel Farage categorically' denies racially abusing fellow students at school

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"Nigel Farage has insisted he categorically did not racially abuse fellow pupils during his time as a schoolboy at a top private school. It comes after more than a dozen former pupils who attended Dulwich College in south London with Mr Farage accused him of making antisemitic and racist remarks in reports originally published by The Guardian. The Reform UK leader appeared to leave open the possibility he may have made racist remarks without intent during an ITV interview on Monday night."

"When questioned about the claims, he said: I would never, ever do it in a hurtful or insulting way. Nigel Farage denies claims he made deeply offensive remarks to fellow pupils (PA Wire) But in a prepared statement given on Tuesday, he denied he had ever made such comments and suggested the claims were politically motivated. I can tell you categorically that I did not say the things that have been published in the Guardian aged 13, nearly 50 years ago, he said in the statement."

The Independent emphasizes the importance of on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and requests donations to fund open-access journalism. The outlet cites investigations into the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', about American women fighting for reproductive rights. More than a dozen former pupils of Dulwich College accused Nigel Farage of making antisemitic and racist remarks as a schoolboy. Nigel Farage denied the allegations, called them politically motivated and said he would never make hurtful or insulting remarks.
