We'll stop Farage turning UK into Trump's America, says Davey
BBC ^ | Sep 23 | BBC

Posted on 09/23/2025 12:55:16 PM PDT by RandFan

Sir Ed Davey has vowed to lead the fight against Nigel Farage's Reform UK, as he accused him of wanting to turn the UK into "Trump's America" in a speech to the Liberal Democrat conference.

Painting a nightmarish vision of what he claimed life would be like under a Farage government, he sought to portray the Lib Dems as the guardians of British values of "tolerance, decency, and respect".

He argued that the Lib Dems had a "moral responsibility" to challenge Reform and urged his party to embrace patriotism to speak for "Britain's decent silent majority".

He attacked Labour for not delivering the change people had voted for - and urged Conservatives to "come and join us".

But in a 49 minute speech, he mentioned Farage 31 times and repeatedly claimed the Reform leader wanted to turn Britain into a "Trump-inspired country".

He accused Farage of wanting to saddle Britons with "crippling" health insurance bills and destroy the countryside by fracking for shale oil - and trample on basic rights by pulling out of the European Convention on Human Rights.

"That is Trump's America. Don't let it become Farage's Britain," he told the conference.

He also stepped up his attacks on tech mogul Elon Musk, the owner of X, whom he said wanted to see a "Wild West on social media" and would benefit from Reform's plans to repeal online safety laws passed two years ago.

And in a striking image, he claimed Farage would relax British gun laws, forcing schools to teach children "what to do in case of a mass shooting".

For the muslim groomers, not for the British girls that are gang raped. He needs to be asked "EXACTLY WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?"

“Britain’s decent silent majority?”

Ask Rotherham how decent they are. Kitty Genevese anyone?

Life’s so horrible here now that Kamala didn’t win the election.

It’s gotten so bad that you can go to Twitter and be subjected to people with opinions different than your own.

It’s really that bad.

Sir Davey,

You have no England anymore. It's a blended combination of socialist leftists and a radical Islamic Caliphate, working in concert to force you to submit or die.

Thank you for listening, and would the last proper soccer hooligans please turn the lights out as you die or submit.

“Sir Davey”

A long time ago being nighted meant bravery and moral strength. The fact that this treasonous cuck is a “Sir” shows what joke that is. England best hope is for nation killing leftists split their vote on these clowns and Labour to give Reform a ruling majority. But it may be too late.

The UK is not immune from political violence; Nigel Farage absolutely needs the best personal security he can get.

I know it may be hard to believe it, but Ed Davey is just as bad, and possibly worse, than Two-Tier Starmer.

MEGA is much better tag but European media has slandered what MAGA actually means that they cannot use it.

So Davey is into Sharia law and is converting to Muslim.

“... embrace patriotism...”

So Orwellian. This Labour Party asshole will throw a citizen in jail just for displaying a Saint George Cross flag. And then he has the gall to mention patriotism?

And Nigel Farage is barely a conservative, yet they fear him so much. The UK politicians have descended into madness.
