Nigel Farage criticizes racist remarks by Reform UK worker. But he later called it a ‘stitch-up’

LONDON (AP) — Anti-immigration British politician Nigel Farage on Friday criticized a worker for his Reform UK party who suggested migrants crossing the English Channel in boats should be used for “target practice.”

But Farage later suggested that the episode had been a “stitch-up” by Reform’s opponents.

Party activist Andrew Parker was heard suggesting army recruits with guns should be posted to “just shoot” migrants landing on beaches, in recordings made by an undercover reporter from Channel 4.
