Javid calls on Farage to apologise for alleged racist comments
The Guardian
|January 26, 2026
The former Tory cabinet member Sajid Javid has called on Nigel Farage to apologise for alleged racist comments made as a schoolboy.
It comes after a Guardian investigation found more than 30 people who went to Dulwich college with the Reform UK leader have accused him of racist and antisemitic bullying.
Farage has denied “directly” targeting anyone with racist or antisemitic abuse or having the “intent” to hurt anyone. Earlier this month, he dismissed the allegations as “complete made-up fantasies” based on political motivation.
