The right-wing populist British Reform Party has withdrawn its support for three people who are running in the upcoming election.
The reason is that they have made offensive comments, report British media.
With only a few days left until Thursday's election, the Reform Party, led by Nigel Farage, is embroiled in a scandal that erupted on Friday when it became known that racist and homophobic statements were caught on film during one of the party's campaign meetings.
For example, a campaign worker in Farage's constituency Clacton-on-sea is heard making racist statements about Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, whose parents are Indian.
The Reform Party is now announcing that it will no longer support three of its candidates. However, they will still appear on the ballot paper because it is too late to remove them, writes BBC and Sky News.
One of them is accused of previously publishing derogatory comments on social media about Africans south of the Sahara and their intelligence. Another is said to have made offensive comments about blacks.
The third has in turn described migrants who have arrived in Britain as "scum".
I don't want anything to do with them, said Farage in a BBC broadcast on Friday evening.
