Nigel Farage faced fresh allegations from former Dulwich College classmates about racist and antisemitic behaviour in the 1970s-80s. When pressed by broadcasters, Farage gave shifting responses: initially saying he never racially abused anyone in a hurtful or insulting way, then admitting he may have said things that could be interpreted as playground banter fifty years ago. His evasive answers contrasted sharply with Reform UK's categorical denials and his own legal letters emphatically denying any racist comments from his teenage years.
