Overview
- Sky News and the Guardian report that 28 former teachers and pupils describe antisemitic or racist behaviour by Farage at Dulwich College nearly 50 years ago.
- Named accounts include Jean-Pierre Lihou alleging a gas‑chamber song, Stefan Benarroch recalling torment of Jewish boys, and Yinka Bankole saying Farage told him to go back to Africa.
- Farage denies the claims as politically motivated, says he has never directly racially abused anybody, and describes school‑era comments as banter.
- Reform UK dismisses the coverage as a smear campaign, and Farage castigated a BBC reporter over what he called double standards, demanding an apology for past programming.
- Labour and the Liberal Democrats call for a full explanation, a senior Conservative strikes a more nuanced note, and analysts weigh whether the row will affect Reform UK’s electoral support.
