The Labour Party has called for Reform UK to expel Chris Parry for comments that he made on social media. The party said in a statement:
“Nigel Farage should stop being so weak and throw Chris Parry out of Reform UK today.”
The row centres on comments made by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry, Reform UK’s candidate for the Hampshire and the Solent mayoral election. Parry apologised after Nigel Farage, the party leader, suggested that he should.
Referring to a post he had made about David Lammy, the Deputy Prime Minister, being forced to “go home”, Parry said:
“It was a clumsy tweet, there’s no question about that.”
