British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he was hurt and angry that a supporter of Nigel Farage's right-wing Reform UK party had been recorded making a racial slur about him, saying it was too important for him not to speak out.
Sunak, Britain's first ethnic-minority prime minister, was responding to comments broadcast by Channel 4 News, by a man named as Andrew Parker calling Sunak a "fucking ****" - a British racial slur for people of South Asian descent.
Sunak was born in the southern English port city of Southampton in 1980 to Hindu parents of Punjabi Indian descent.
"My two daughters have to see and hear Reform people who campaign for Nigel Farage calling me an effing ****. It hurts and it makes me angry, and I think he has some questions to answer," Sunak told broadcasters on Friday.
"I don't repeat those words lightly, I do so deliberately because this is too important not to call out clearly for what it is ."
In the Channel 4's video, Parker says: "I've always been a Tory (Conservative) voter but what annoys me is that fucking **** we've got in. What good is he? You tell me, you know. He's just wet. Fucking useless."
