The canvasser also called for small boat migrants to be shot.

Last night, Mr Farage denounced the “appalling sentiments” and insisted they were not representative of Reform’s policies or his own views.

An investigation by Channel 4 revealed canvasser Andrew Parker told an undercover reporter to use the word “illegal” on the doorstep “especially if you open the door and there’s a bunch of P***.”

And referencing the Prime Minister, he went on: “I’ve always been a Tory voter… but what annoys me is that f*** P*** we’ve got in.

“What good is he? You tell me, you know.

“He’s just wet. F**** useless”.

Parker also declared that Army recruits should carry out “target practice” by shooting asylum seekers arriving in Dover.

Another Reform campaigner, George Jones, was filmed telling the undercover reporter that if Reform were in government the police would be “paramilitaries” and that Britain should “bring back the noose”.

Brexit champion Farage, 60, is odds-on favourite to win the coastal seat and become an MP at his eighth attempt.

He said he was “dismayed” by the remarks, adding: “They will no longer be with the campaign.”

Parker responded: “I would like to make it clear that neither Nigel Farage personally or the Reform Party are aware of my personal views on immigration. I would therefore like to apologise profusely to Nigel Farage and the Reform Party if my personal views have reflected badly on them.”
