'FARAGE WOULD HISS TO MAKE SOUND OF GAS'

Reform leader accused of racism by ex-classmates

- ALEXANDER BROWN

NIGEL Farage has been urged to explain himself over claims he made racist and antisemitic remarks while he was a student.

Former classmates of the Reform UK leader say he made pro-Hitler comments, joked about gas chambers and put someone in detention for the colour of their skin.

A party spokesman insisted the accusations were false and an attempt to smear Mr Farage.

But Anna Turley MP, chair of the Labour Party, said: "These are disturbing allegations and it is vital Nigel Farage explain himself. We have seen Farage's weakness in the face of the divisive politics in Reform's ranks.

"They are dragging our politics to a dark place."
