Overview
- Nigel Farage called Chris Parry’s remark about David Lammy “over the top” and said he should apologise, while praising Parry’s military service.
- Parry wrote in February that Lammy should “go home” to the Caribbean “where [his] loyalty lies” and later doubled down, saying “home is where the heart is.”
- Further posts show Parry questioned the primary loyalty of figures including Shabana Mahmood, Sadiq Khan, Humza Yousaf, Zarah Sultana, Anas Sarwar, Dawn Butler, Kaukab Stewart and Naz Shah.
- Farage has not announced Parry’s removal as a candidate despite calls from Labour chair Anna Turley to expel him.
- Separately, Farage rejected a Guardian investigation alleging racist and antisemitic bullying at his former school, calling the claims “completely made up fantasy.”
