On the tenth anniversary of the vote to leave the EU, Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds said the prominent Leave campaigner had a worldview which was “sympathetic” to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, Mr Farage accused political leaders, including former prime minister Boris Johnson, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of failing to understand the “forgotten places” across the country which had wanted a “fairer deal” for the UK.
A debate over the future of the UK-EU relationship has reignited in recent weeks after the outgoing Prime Minister made closer ties with Brussels a key pillar of his “reset” after Labour’s electoral drubbing in May.
Andy Burnham, the man who many see as a prime minister-in-waiting after his Makerfield by-election win and Sir Keir’s resignation as party leader, has pledged not to “re-run” old Brexit arguments.
He has sought to play down the prospect of reversing the 2016 referendum but has said he would like to see the UK back in the EU within his lifetime.
EU relations minister Mr Thomas-Symonds, who is speaking at an event held by the UK in a Changing Europe think tank on Tuesday, will argue that a hard-headed relationship with Europe is needed to protect British homes in a turbulent world.
He launched an attack on Mr Farage over the Reform leader’s previous remarks about Ukraine, accusing him of having “consistently supported Russia, and tried to pretend that our interests could align with a dictator’s”.
Writing in the Telegraph, he said: “From declaring in 2014 that ‘I think the European Union, frankly, does have blood on its hands in the Ukraine’, and that he didn’t want a ‘European foreign policy’, to suggesting in 2024 that Nato and the EU’s ‘eastward expansion’ gave a reason for Putin to ‘go to war’.

Michael Foot, leader of the Labour party, was a Russian spy during the Cold War.
The UIK - the United Islamic Kingdom - first Islamic nuclear power following Pakistan.
Sadiq Khan will get those Islamic Brit nuke subs running right.
Ya get the feeling the world as we know it is racing to the bottom?
Quite a twist.
Calling someone who is patriotic a ‘threat to national security’
Ahhh…. “RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA” rears its head yet again.
“Look… SQUIRREL!!”

,,, pledge/unpledge.
The Brits will be slaves and do all the work while the lazy muslims sit around and do nothing but collect the cash , Oh wait just like now
Sounds like he intends to do it, arguments notwithstanding.
They took lessons from Joe Biden. Biden said the maga followers are a threat to the security of America and threatened to attack them with F-16s.
Is that like being a “threat to democracy?” I really wish the worldwide leftist bastards would adopt uniform lies so we can understand what they’re getting at
Saying Nigel Farage a threat to national security is a step towards removing him from political life and either jailing him or outlawing him and his party.
He is over the target!
(Labour brands Nigel Farage a ‘threat to national security’ for his stance on the European Union)
Nigel Farage spoke AGAINST Ursula von der Leyen in this video too - her push for a GLOBAL DIGITAL ID 🆔

@MariaBowtell
Absolutely outraged that the @LGAcomms allowed the Independent Group to discriminate against all Restore Britain Councillors yesterday.
Cowards these councillors. Clearly scared of a discussion with someone who might have a different point of view.
Not sure future @RestoreBritain controlled council’s paying hundreds of thousands for LGA interference is something we will support in future.
What do you reckon?

See my reply #15.
Meanwhile whole sections of the UK are being trodden down, meted out and overrun by illegal military aged foreign invaders, whilst the raping and pillaging hordes claim territories as now conquered no-go zones.
“Its Russia!”
Yeah
They are trying to make him the new Oswald Mosley.
