Watch moment Labour MP issues plea to Nigel Farage in aftermath of Henry Novak’s death

Labour MP Luke Charters has issued a plea to Nigel Farage, begging him to “show restraint” in the aftermath of the murder and police treatment of Henry Nowak.Speaking to GB News, the York Outer representative stressed the importance of unity after the bodycam footage of the 18-year-old student’s last moment shook the nation. Reacting to the video, Mr Farage said it was “proof we live in a two-tier country” and said it prompted “pure, cold rage”. However, Mr Charters implored the Reform leader to heed the wishes of Henry Nowak’s father, who said he “didn’t want things to be festering to division, and hatred”.

It's tough for anyone, isn't it?”“But there's another dad in all of this, Nigel Farage. And I say directly to him, from one dad to another, please show restraint with your language.“This is a really divisive and difficult time. Please respect the wishes of the family. “We might disagree, but they have a platform in this country. Use it right now. This afternoon. “Say no more division, no more heads. Let's start coming together,” the Labour MP insisted. Speaking on the Reform leaders' language specifically, Mr Charters said: “I think he's got to reflect on it.”“I’m begging with him. Nigel, please, for the communities in Southampton across this country. Just turn down your language and rhetoric. “You saw that you were the odd one out. Out of 650 MPs in the chamber today. Please.
