Is Britain’s upstart Reform party really as committed to free speech as they would have us believe? Tucker Carlson was meant to converse with leader Nigel Farage on his trip to London last week. But, Cockburn hears, Farage pulled out after the stateside controversy about Carlson’s recent choice to chat with “groyper” leader and bête noire Nick Fuentes.
Who knew the leading light of the British right would be so sensitive about “platforming?” Top Farage advisor James Orr, who also serves as an Anglo-whisperer for Vice President J.D. Vance, made excuses on Reform’s behalf.
“It’s the donors and consultants, always,” Carlson told Cockburn about the choice to pull out. “If you want to save your country, you have to ignore them.”
Tucker’s show – the 10th most listened to in the US on Spotify this year – hosted two other Englishmen instead: ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe, a Farage rival, and Milo Yiannopoulos, who raved about how homosexuality isn’t real. What could be more British than that?

Good call, Nigel.
Nigel is afraid of a Tucker interview but Nigel has the courage to stand up to Muslim invaders?
Lol.
Nigel is just a British Bush. And a coward.
“Nigel is afraid of a Tucker interview but Nigel has the courage to stand up to Muslim invaders?”
My first thought. Pathetic. And we depended on him to save England. England is finished.
He also has nothing to do with Tommy Robinson. He is playing the political game. He misses a good chance to show what he has.
Or perhaps he just cares about his integrity?
Standing up to Muslim invaders doesn’t mean that he has to jump in bed with wingnuts.
Maybe Farge felt like he would go to jail if he said the wrong thing in public?

…A frustrated Tucker Carlson was not available for comment.
(An old SNL reference….)
Nigel Farage is a coward. Just another eurofag.
i agree. tucker took his position and the clout he had and threw it away by feeding the trolls
yes - Nigel doesn’t need to be associated with TC. sad. i once followed Tucker and was upset when Fox fired him. but he jumped the shark. i hope he’ll be happy in his Qatar real estate purchase.
What the eff is an “anglo whisperer”.
I have a feeling it is meant as a pejorative towards anyone white who may just think somewhat rationally.
Curious Why...
Personally, not a fan of Nigel. I think he’s just another establishment opportunist that doesn’t have the actual balls to do what is necessary. His team is full of Muslims, doesn’t think mass deportations is something serious to consider, ...
IMHO...there’s a serious attack on Tucker, he’s thinking independently and that scares folks. I get the feeling that some of what is claimed/posted about him is being taken out of context. He would have asked Nigel uncomfortable questions, which I would have welcomed.
.
Farage didn’t want to buy a plane ticket to Tuckers’ fancy new Qatar digs - and subjected to potential who knows what in an Islamic dictatorship. Smart move for Farage. Stupid and supremely idiotic move by Tucker. Qataris must have some serious dirt on Tucker or bribed him with something of extreme value to Tucker’s mentally unstable heart.
Farage should be able to defend himself in any venue.
I smell fear.
The Muslims are going to crush anyone who shows even hints of fear.
