Reform is opposing the new policy, cautioning that it would primarily benefit “a significant number of foreign-born individuals.”
Reeves stated: “I don’t care about the color of a child's skin – do some deserve to live in poverty while others do not? That frustrates me greatly.”
However, Reform's policy chief, Zia Yusuf, asserted that the Chancellor’s remarks were “clearly racist.”
He criticized: “Rachel Reeves’ comments linking Britishness to race are unacceptable and overtly racist.”
“She must be removed from her position.”
The party accused Ms. Reeves of “blatant racism” after she suggested that Mr. Farage aimed to keep children in poverty based on their skin color.
A source added: “Rachel Reeves is implying that black individuals cannot be British. This is a blatant accusation from the Chancellor.”
A Labour source countered the racism allegations: “This is absurd.
“The reality is that the intention is to push hundreds of thousands of children into poverty.
“More division and decline are being promoted by Reform.”
