Nigel Farage has seemingly agreed with David Lammy’s criticism of a Reform MP’s outdated language. Acting as a stand-in for Keir Starmer during PMQs, Deputy Prime Minister called out the “racist” remarks made by Sarah Pochin on TalkTV last month.
Responding to a caller, Ms Pochin, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby, expressed frustration over seeing advertisements featuring non-white individuals. David Lammy condemned her language as belonging to a past era.
During the session, Lammy pointed out the chaotic situation at Kent County Council under Reform leadership. In response to a question from Labour MP Tristan Osborne about the council’s issues, Mr. Farage nodded in agreement with Lammy’s remarks.
Ms. Pochin later apologized for potentially causing offense with her comments but stood by her view that many adverts do not accurately represent British society. She clarified that her words were poorly phrased and unintended to offend anyone.
