  • This is The Guardian.

  • The accusations suggest a track record of racist and anti-Semitic behaviour by Varage

  • while he was at Dulwich.

  • Categorically on the record you did not racially abuse fellow people.

  • I would never ever do it in a hurtful or insulting way.

  • The questions keep coming for Nigel Farage over allegations of racism and antisemitism during his school days.

  • More people have now come forward.

  • But speaking to the BBC, Farage's Reform UK deputy says it's all made up.

  • This is all made up, twaddle, by people who don't want Nigel to be Prime Minister of the country.

  • Funny how they didn't remember this three years ago, six years ago, ten years ago.

  • When you have someone who says none of this happened and the people around him are saying none of this happened and the people who say it is a liar,

  • but then there are more than two dozen people who recall otherwise, that's difficult to square.

  • From the Guardians Today in Focus, this is the latest with me, Lucy Hoff.

  • And I'm joined by Henry Dyer, Investigations Correspondent at The Guardian,

  • and Henry, you've been working on this story for some weeks now.

  • Henry, since you first reported this on the 18th of November, along with your colleague Dan Boffy,

  • the story has continued to expand and more people have come forward, right?

  • Yeah, so Dan and I, along with Mark Blacklock, who's been working on this story with us,

  • we've still had other boys come forward from Dulles College who were there at school with Faraj at that time in the late 1970s,

  • early 1980s.
