英国改革党议员詹里克在BBC第四广播电台《今日》节目中为该党辩护，声称党领袖法拉奇"可能比几乎其他任何人都更多地站出来反对种族主义和极右翼"1。这一言论出现在ITV Exposure秘密调查曝光改革党内存在极端言论之后1。
调查显示，改革党议员艾伦·费尼称亚洲房主为"寄生虫"，并声称"英国人口中不超过1%可以是非白人"1。改革党官员艾德·萨姆纳曾称市长候选人帕里"显然是种族歧视者"，但法拉奇保护了这名候选人1。根据掌握的视频证据，当法拉奇被告知他在保护帕里时，回应称"这显示有点...有点遗憾"1。帕里在2024年3月被改革党暂停前，曾说前外交大臣应该"回加勒比海去"，并质疑至少八名少数族裔政治家的忠诚度1。
詹里克辩称改革党拥有"非常强大的审查制度"，认为所有政党都存在"坏苹果"的现象1。
Robert Jenrick, a Reform UK MP, has claimed that party leader Nigel Farage has done more to stand against racism than "almost anybody else," defending the party amid revelations of extremist conduct by its officials and candidates.1 Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Jenrick stated that Farage "has probably done more to stand up against racism and the far right than almost any other person."1
These remarks came following a lengthy undercover investigation by ITV Exposure that exposed inflammatory statements from Reform UK members.1 The investigation revealed that Reform UK MP Alan Feeny referred to Asian homeowners as "parasites" and claimed that "no more than 1 percent of the British population can be non-white."1 Additionally, Reform UK official Ed Sumner described mayoral candidate Chris Pery as "obviously a racist," yet Farage protected the candidate from removal.1 When confronted about shielding Pery, Farage responded that it appeared "a bit... a bit unfortunate."1
The party suspended Pery in March 2024 after he made remarks telling a former Foreign Secretary to "go back to the Caribbean" and questioned the loyalty of at least eight minority ethnic politicians.1 In his defense, Jenrick argued that Reform UK maintains "very strong discipline procedures" and contended that all political parties contain "bad apples."1
