REFORM UK bosses have called for Rachel Reeves to be sacked for appearing to accuse Nigel Farage of racism.
The party clashed with Labour over the decision to lift the two-child benefit cap.
Reform is opposing the policy, warning it would benefit “huge numbers of foreign-born people”.
Reeves said: “I don’t really care what colour a kid’s skin is – some deserve to be in poverty and some don’t? “That makes me pretty angry.
But Reform policy chief Zia Yusuf claimed the comments by the Chancellor were “overtly racist”.
He blasted: “Rachel Reeves’ comments equating Britishness with race are beyond the pale and overtly racist.

“Keir Starmer must sack her.”
The party accused Ms Reeves of “flagrant racism” after she implied Mr Farage wanted to keep children in poverty based on their skin colour.
A source added: “Rachel Reeves is suggesting that black people can’t be British. This is flagrant racism from the Chancellor.”
A Labour source hit back at the allegations of racism: “Nonsense.
“The truth is that Nigel Farage wants to plunge hundreds of thousands of children into poverty.
“More division and decline peddled by Reform.”
