Channel 4 has issued an apology after subtitles below a speech made by Boris Johnson suggested he said he wanted democratic control over the migration of “people of colour”.
It said: “Boris Johnson says ‘people of talent’ not ‘people of colour’. Our earlier tweet was a mistake. We misheard and we apologise.”
Nigel Farage had been billed to speak at a Brexit party defence rally in Westminster but failed to show up.
A party spokesman said Farage felt his presence would be a “distraction” at the event, following the resignations of four Brexit party MEPs. They walked out on Thursday to back Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal.
