Nigel Farage has seemingly supported David Lammy’s criticism of a Reform MP’s outdated language. Acting in place of Keir Starmer during PMQs, the Deputy Prime Minister condemned the “racist” remarks made by Sarah Pochin on TalkTV last month.
In response to a caller, Ms. Pochin, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, expressed frustration at seeing advertisements featuring non-white individuals. David Lammy described her language as belonging to a different era.
During the session, Mr. Lammy highlighted the poor performance of Kent County Council under the Reform party, prompting agreement nods from Nigel Farage. This exchange followed a question from Labour MP Tristan Osborne regarding issues within the Reform-led council in Kent.
Ms. Pochin later apologized for any offense caused by her comments on diverse advertising but maintained that many ads do not accurately represent British society.
