Reform UK MP Danny Kruger has refused to condemn Farage ally Raheem Kassam, who called Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch a "Nigerian scammer" on X. Asked on The Telegraph's Daily T podcast to criticise the remarks, Kruger said Kassam was not a party spokesman and called it "rambunctious debate online". Labour said Reform's top team could not even condemn blatant racism, urging Nigel Farage to act.
