As the UK general election draws near, Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, finds itself embroiled in a racism and homophobia scandal. Shadow Defence Secretary John Healey has called on Farage to address the issue after a Reform UK activist was caught using racist and homophobic slurs while campaigning. The police are currently assessing the situation, highlighting the severity of the allegations. This controversy comes at a critical time, potentially impacting the party's standing and the general election's outcome. Labour leader Starmer, in an emotional interview, expressed his motivations for seeking power and concerns for his family's safety, showcasing the high stakes and intense emotions involved in this election.

Do you believe political leaders should be held accountable for the actions of their party members, and why?

How would you feel if a party you supported was accused of racism and homophobia?

Horrific. It would make me question my loyalty to them.

It's disheartening, yet sadly not surprising, to see racism and homophobia rear their ugly heads in the political arena, especially so close to the election. Nigel Farage and Reform UK must take immediate and transparent action to address these serious issues within their ranks if they hope to regain any semblance of respect from the public. The fact that this is happening in 2023 shows we still have a long way to go in battling hate and bigotry in our society.

The Labour leader is often accused of lacking passion and personality. But, sitting down with Editor in Chief Geordie Greig days before the general election, Starmer ranged from welling up to barely suppressing anger as he revealed the motivation that has delivered him to the cusp of power – and his fears for his family if he makes it to No 10
