Dr Chris Parry on Talk TV A Reform UK candidate has refused to row back on his call for David Lammy to “go home to the Caribbean”. Dr Chris Parry was unrepentant during an interview on Talk TV in which he also refused to say whether he believed the justice secretary’s “primary loyalty” is to the UK. Reform leader Nigel Farage has faced calls to drop Parry as his party’s candidate to be mayor of Hampshire and the Solent. His comments were unearthed by the Daily Telegraph , which also found that Parry had described female cabinet ministers as “harpies” and suggested parliament would be filled with Muslim MPs by 2035. Parry, who served in the Royal Navy for 30 years, reacted on X to a report that former foreign secretary Lammy was “open” to paying slavery reparations to former British colonies. He wrote: “Lammy must go home to the Caribbean where loyalties lie.” Appearing on Talk TV on Monday, said: “You really shouldn’t believe everything you read in the newspapers.” Asked by presenter Peter Cardwell if he’d written the post, he said: “I’m not going to talk about it. People should go to Twitter and see what was written and the context in which it happened. “All I’m saying is if you’re the foreign secretary of this country your primary loyalty must be to this country.” When Cardwell asked if he thought Lammy’s primary loyalty to the UK, Parry replied: “Ask him.” "Do you believe his primary loyalty is to this country? Because he was born in this country" Reform's Mayoral candidate for Hampshire and the Solent Chris Parry refuses to tell Peter Cardwell whether he wrote online that David Lammy should "go home to the Caribbean".… pic.twitter.com/35hQkIIHvh — Talk (@TalkTV) December 15, 2025 Labour chair Anna Turley said: “No matter what Reform’s senior leadership say, telling a black British man from London to ‘go home to the Caribbean’ is racist, and no ‘context’ can excuse it. “Nigel Farage should stop turning a blind eye to racism in his party and sack his candidate immediately. Reform want to drag our politics to a dark place and this inaction shows why they are not fit for high office.” Related...
