Farage on breakfast TV here speaking on a range of topics.
He spoke about his controversial position on Tommy Robinson:-
'The problem with Tommy Robinson is thew way he speaks about Islam. It's like he wants to go to war with everyone and he has a long criminal record.
'We intend to win the next election and I'm running this political party and he's no asset to us'
'We will get Elon Musk's support [despite these differences]. I'm confident of that'

On the other hand, Robinson's the real deal which explains why under the current British leftist/globalist cabal he, and not Farage, rots in jail.
You have to have an understanding of the British class system to fully understand why a effin' ponce like Farage despises the hardcore working class Robinson. Thatr's how things roll in the UK. I'm married to a Brit, an East Ender, who's explained the whole show to me in great detail.
I don't know, I remember a pretty impressive demonstration in London a couple years ago on his behalf, and it was packed. It looked like a Trump rally from the photos I saw. Of course, our media completely ignored it.
Farage is fooked. What a wimp.
“Tommy gets it. He’s right but he’s a liability given the current electorate of poor Great Britain”
Agree, brainwashed and beaten. Farage is smart to stay clear of him, at least for now.
Britain is being overcome by Islam and Farage is operating by Roberts Rules of Order
The man was THE driving force behind the EU Referendum and UK withdraw from the EU.
“All talk, no accomplishments.” is factually incorrect. He is the most consequential UK politician in the last 20 years...
Rethink your position, Nigel.
Tommy is not necessarily the man he portrays. His old camaera woman Lucy Brown has been posting on X stories about her time with him, and although she agrees with him on most stuff, she has said that when they were working together He and his crew would do cocaine binges and Danny Tommo, Farage’s right hand man, had one night stands with some of the grooming victims that they were interviewing.
She’s also said he’s being a bit ingenusous about the Syrian boy thing because she says that the boy who got expelled over it was already a friend of the family but he neglected to mention this in the documentary.
He is a problematic figure, even Tommy himself knows it which is why HE has been trying to keep his distance. He might be a hero to some, but he will always be regarded as a thug by many Reform voters.
Farage is turning out to be a snake. Tommy Robinson is a hero that has fought ten times as hard as Farage
President Trump should declare Robinson a dissident and sanction the UK.
Tommy may be 100% correct when it comes to the religion of Islam, but Reform has Muslims within the party, including its own treasurer, and many other Reform members know Muslims who are perfectly good people who either don’t take their religion seriously or cherry-pick the bits they like as many religious people often do.
It will turn off a lot of Reform voters if they bring on board a man who gives off the impression that he hates Muslims in general.
Farage has built the party to where it is by being utterly ruthless with elements that want to make it genuinely racist or far right to make it ‘respectable’ in the eyes of average Britons.
Going hard after Islam or Muslims in general is not going to play well with the electorate, regardless of how fed up they are with grooming gangs, Islamic extremism and illegal immigration.
You might notice that Donald Trump hasn’t gone after Islam as a religion or Muslims, and has even courted their vote.
Its a vote loser to look like you are going after an entire demographic of citizens rather than insisting on individuals being held accountable.
A statement that he is just another politician. And a coward.
Farange is happy to let Robinson sit in prison unjustly to protect his moslem vote. That tells us exactly how he would govern.
All Robinson did was shine light on widespread moslem rape gangs and culture and the FACT that every culture in the UK is allowed their holidays, but that St. George Day is forbidden. The British flag and St George flag is forbidden.
He doesn’t want Elons support. He wants his money and for him to shut up about the grave injustice of Tommy.
If Farange is only one of those marginal tax rate and drilling guys, and thinks that’s being conservatives, he’s missing the boat.
“Tommy Robinson is not nearly as popular in the UK as he is with Freepers. He probably does not belong prison, but most voters in the UK think he is obnoxious.”
Fair enough. Then there is no reason I should care about or wish Farange well.
I see nothing in him coming to power that is good for England or America. Just more of the same with a W Bush tone.
I know he doesn’t care about my support. But like Elon, I am a free speech absolutist. And he does want Elon to care.
I love Nigel but he’s not doing himself any good constantly trashing Tommy Robinson. He’d do better to just say nothing.
I’m shocked at Nigel’s tone-deafness here. Has he never noticed how Tommy can raised a crowd of many thousands to stand in the streets of London in bad weather through an entire afternoon of speakers while being attacked around the edges of the crowd by violent islamists and brownshirt police officers?
