Watch: BBC reporter challenges Farage over school racism claims

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has insisted he has never engaged "in direct, unpleasant personal abuse", following complaints from 20 people he went to school with.

A Guardian investigation spoke to contemporaries at Dulwich College who alleged Farage made racist and antisemitic remarks to them, which a spokesperson denied.

Speaking directly to a BBC journalist about the allegations for the first time, Farage, 61, was pressed on the claims. He replied: "Have I ever tried to take it out on any individual on the basis of where they are from? No."

He also ruled out holding an investigation into his own party, following the jailing of former Welsh Reform UK leader Nathan Gill for taking pro-Russian bribes.
