Nigel Farage has been called out for various comments he made yesterday (and beyond, to be fair).
It came as he made his most direct pitch to Labour voters yet, as he vowed to tear up Sir Keir Starmer’s deals from the last fortnight if he wins power and declared Reform UK as the true ‘party of the workers’.
Labour chair Ellie Reeves said: “There’s nothing new about what Nigel Farage said today: the tens of billions of pounds of fantasy promises he made this morning are exactly how Liz Truss crashed the economy, devastating the finances of families across the country.
“Those families don’t need to be told what the consequences would be of this nonsense. They live through it every month through the higher mortgages, higher rents, higher prices, and higher bills inflicted upon them by the last government.”
Lucy Connolly
Nigel Farage has been slammed for insisting that Lucy Connolly, who called for asylum hotels to be burnt, shouldn’t be in prison because her feelings were shared by millions of mothers.
