Nigel Farage is turning up the heat with a bold message for Keir Starmer! The Reform UK leader is not holding back, accusing the Prime Minister of deceiving the nation on immigration while making it clear: “I’ll get rid of you.” Farage isn’t thrilled with Labour’s snub, excluding him from an upcoming state banquet with Donald Trump despite his over-a-decade-long friendship with the US President.
Farage claims Labour is all talk, especially when it comes to immigration. He’s got big plans to deport 600,000 illegal immigrants and plans to press for the UK to ditch certain human rights obligations. Meanwhile, Starmer’s stern warning to would-be migrants might not pack the punch he hopes, as Farage dismisses it with a laugh, dubbing Labour’s approach as a mere “four-star” treatment for illegal arrivals.
And it’s not just Labour in Farage’s sights; he’s predicting the downfall of the Conservative Party, likening their potential collapse to the early 1920s disappearance of the Liberal Party. He argues the Tories have failed massively on immigration due to their inability to act on plans like Rwanda because of ECHR membership.
Looking ahead, Farage’s game plan includes “professionalising” his party, focusing on funding, and recruiting standout candidates. He hints at possible high-profile joiners but emphasises that Reform isn’t a safe haven for Tories looking for a new gig. Their movement’s more lively than your average political meet-up, filled with optimism that they can turn the tide on what he describes as “terrible economic and social decline.”
Farage is off to the States next, planning to testify on how UK online safety laws are strangling free speech. He’ll highlight Lucy Connolly’s harsh sentence for online comments on asylum seekers, questioning the fairness compared to penalties for other crimes. He warns the Online Safety Act might be more about censorship than protecting youngsters.
It’s full steam ahead for Farage and Reform UK, aiming to inject some much-needed positive energy and optimism into the political landscape!
