Farage: Some candidates did 'enormous harm' to Reform

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has told the BBC's Joe Pike his party's general election performance was marred by at best "loopy" and at worst "extremely racist candidates".

Mr Farage vowed to "professionalise" his party and properly vet candidates following a series of controversies over past comments by some Reform candidates.

Mr Farage said these candidates did "enormous harm" to the party, adding "in retrospect, rightly so".
