Nigel Farage urges Chris Parry to apologise for tweets questioning politicians' loyalties and praising Enoch Powell amid calls for his removal from Reform UK.
- Nigel Farage called on Chris Parry to apologise over remarks about Labour MP David Lammy, describing the comments as over the top at a press conference in London.

- Parry later doubled down on his remarks despite widespread condemnation and suggested the primary loyalty of at least eight other politicians, including Labour MP Naz Shah and Your Party co-leader Zarah Sultana, was not to the UK.
