"He needs to explain the comments, or alleged comments that were made, and he needs to do that as soon as possible. He hasn't got a good track record in relation to this because Sarah Pochin, his MP, made some clearly racist comments and Nigel Farage has done absolutely nothing about it. He added: The man is spineless. If that had been someone in my party, I'd have dealt with it straight away."
"He needs to explain the latest allegations, and whilst he's at it, he needs to explain why he's too spineless to take action in relation to what is obvious racism in the comments of his fellow MP. So far he's said absolutely nothing about it. He's got plenty to say on lots of things, apart from showing some leadership when it comes to racism."
Keir Starmer accused Nigel Farage of being spineless for failing to address allegations of xenophobic and antisemitic comments from Farage's school years. The allegations include chants and songs referencing the Holocaust, praise for Hitler, and use of the N-word by pupils who knew him at Dulwich College. Starmer linked the school-era claims to a broader pattern of inaction, citing Farage's failure to discipline his Reform MP Sarah Pochin after racist comments about people of colour in advertisements. Starmer demanded a prompt explanation and framed the response as a test of leadership on racism.
