Nick Ferrari Calls Out Reform UK MP For Presenting A Belief As A Fact In On-Air Clash

Nick Ferrari speaking to Reform's Sarah PochinReform UK’s newest MP was called out for making a particularly sweeping statement about white British women on Tuesday.Sarah Pochin, who was elected in May’s Runcorn and Helsby by-election, claimed crime statistics prove her party is the only one telling the truth when it came to rape cases.She pointed to new data from the Ministry of Justice which revealed over a quarter of recorded sexual assaults on women were committed by foreign nationals.“Reform politicians are the only ones prepared to stand up and say it how it is,” she said – before then alleging: “Those attacks are aimed at white British women.”But LBC’sNick Ferrari asked: “How do you know that they’re all white British women?”“Well, we don’t know that,” she admitted.“You just said they were?” Ferrari pushed.“That’s what I believe to be the case,” she replied.The presenter noted: “You are a member of parliament, you say they’re all white British women.“When I asked you how you know that, you say, I don’t know.”Pochin then revised her original statement, saying: “Predominantly! I believe that predominantly they are all white British women.”“What is that belief based on?” Ferrari pushed.She said: “Rape reports in my constituency for example...

So that is the context around the numbers, I just think we should deal in facts.”Labour’s foreign secretary David Lammyalso accused Pochin of “swallowing conspiracy theories” in June after she suggested the government’s controversial decision to give the Chagos Islands to Mauritius had played a part in the US’s plans for bombing Iran.Related...Tory Peer Slams Reform Over 'Misinformation' Around Epping Protests With Thinly-Veiled DigMP Gives Voters An Important Reminder About Nigel Farage's Brexit PastSky Presenter Completely Stunned As Minister Says Nigel Farage Would Be 'On Jimmy Savile's Side'
