Nigel Farage faced a bit of drama at a Reform UK event in Newport when a heckler made headlines! 🎤 An activist from Green New Deal Rising Cardiff stood up to disrupt the party leader during the manifesto launch, challenging his stance on workers’ rights and climate action. Farage responded with his trademark sarcasm, asking if she’d “got out on the wrong side of bed” and quipping about her having “no job,” as security escorted her out.
Nina, the 26-year-old protestor, shared her side, highlighting her struggles juggling three zero-hours jobs and the party’s lack of support for young workers like her. She declared Farage’s plans do not help the Welsh community and slammed Reform UK’s policies as “hate-filled.”
Green New Deal Rising is rallying across the UK to counter the far-right narrative in the upcoming elections. Their mission? To elect hope instead of hate. ✊
