Reform UK leader has again denied allegations about his behaviour as a schoolboy but what are the facts?

Nigel Farage has again denied allegations of racism as a schoolboy and repeated his claim that some had been concocted because people disliked his politics.

During a press conference, he snapped at one reporter who asked about the issue, saying: “I think we’ve gone quite a long way towards answering all this, don’t you?”

Farage, who prides himself on answering numerous questions at press conferences, took 10 this time, but did not include any from the Guardian.

So what did he say – and is it true?
