Labour’s Darren Jones says that it is the responsibility of Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage to tackle racism within the party. He said: “When it comes to a political party, if there is evidence of this type of behaviour, it is incumbent on the leaders of those parties to take swift and decisive action.” It comes as a Channel 4 investigation filmed a canvasser saying that migrants crossing the Channel should be used as “target practice”.

Labour's Darren Jones has criticized the prime minister for "not prioritising" the smoking ban in the final week of parliament. Rishi Sunak said he was "disappointed" his bill banning young people from ever being able to smoke legally will not pass before the general election.

"If we win the election on July the 4th, we will be setting out our own legislative plans in a Labour King speech in due course and we will list our priorities at that time," Mr Jones said.
