Reform UK leader Nigel Farage warned the U.S. Congress that censorship laws in Britain will have a stifling effect on free speech throughout the West and urged the American government to pressure London to adhere to its values of liberty. Appearing before the Judiciary Committee in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, Brexit boss Nigel Farage likened his native country of Britain to “North Korea” with its increasingly censorious stance towards online speech.

Politics is a numbers game. Whether it's counting votes, poll ratings, calculating budgets or seats in the house of Commons, it all comes down to numeracy. Reform UK is a case in point. They might only have four MPs - one less than this time last year - but they're arguably the most influential party in British politics right now. Just look at the numbers. They are leading the polls on around 30%, give or take one or two percentage points, well ahead of Labour's 20% and the Tories on 17%. Membership has rocketed to almost 240,000 - making it...

Party conference begins next week when Reform UK kick off their two-day jamboree in Birmingham. Spirits within Nigel Farage’s party are high after a successful summer in which they dominated the recess period with a well-executed ‘flood the zone’ media strategy.

Now, the party has received a further boost with a new poll for the i paper which gives them their highest polling to date: Reform 35, Labour 20, Conservatives 17 per cent. This is the first time Reform has hit 35 points. Polling...

England’s distinctive red-and-white St. George’s Cross and iconic union jack flags are making a comeback across the United Kingdom, with supporters calling the resurgence patriotic while critics in the media warn it shows extremism, echoing MAGA-like culture wars across the pond. The dispute over the flag is the latest symbol of Britain’s political discourse, with Reform UK and Nigel Farage invoking U.S. President Donald Trump-style populism to rally Englishmen. "Operation Raise the Colours" has called for people to put their flags up where they live and in their everyday lives to rally Britons. The online movement is encouraging people to...

@karma44921039 "I cannot think of a more dangerous initiative than this... We simply have to say no." Nigel Farage on the desperate push to roll out digital ID, CBDCs and a cashless society—globally—by 2030. "If we're not careful, we head towards a Chinese-style social credit system, where unless you go along with the views of the day, you become a non-person."

Singer-songwriter Rod Stewart has become the latest prominent British celebrity to endorse Nigel Farage as his Reform UK party seeks to upend the political establishment in London. It is time to “give Farage a chance” at governing the country, according to Maggie May singer Rod Stewart. Speaking to The Times of London, Sir Rod said that while he is “extremely wealthy”, he said that it “doesn’t mean I’m out of touch”. “For instance, I’ve read about Starmer cutting off the fishing in Scotland and giving it back to the EU. That hasn’t made him popular. We’re fed up with the...

The UK’s largest teaching union has called Reform UK “far-right and racist” and its leader has dismissed Nigel Farage as “a poundshop Donald Trump,” as the union pledged funds to oppose the party’s candidates in elections. Delegates to the National Education Union’s annual conference backed a motion stating that “far-right and racist organisations, including Reform, seek to build on the despair, poverty and alienation in our society by scapegoating refugees, asylum seekers, Muslims, Jews and others who do not fit their beliefs”. The motion also committed the NEU to use its political fund for campaigns against Reform election candidates and...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has torn into Vice President JD Vance's claim that a Franco-British peacekeeping force would be just "20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years". Speaking to GB News from today's mass farmer protest in Westminster, Farage said the Vice President was "wrong, wrong, wrong" as he hailed how Britain "did our bit" alongside the US in Afghanistan. He told the People's Channel: "JD Vance is wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. For 20 years in Afghanistan, pro-rata, our size against America's, we spent the same amount of money, we...

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has cemented its lead in the polls and has begun to pull ahead of the Westminster establishment parties, according to a survey from YouGov. Just over seven months after the leftist Labour Party swept to power in the UK following the collapse of the neo-liberal “Conservatives”, Nigel Farage’s insurgent sovereigntist-populist Reform party has begun to entrench itself as the preferred party of the British voter. According to a poll conducted this week from top survey firm YouGov, Reform UK has increased its lead over other parties and now stands clearly on top at 27 per cent,...

Nigel Farage says he wants to "mend fences" with Elon Musk, after the billionaire Trump adviser called for him to be replaced as Reform UK party leader. Just before Christmas, Farage told journalists his party was in "negotiations" with Mr Musk, the world's richest man, about a potential donation. But come the new year, the relationship had soured, with Tesla boss Mr Musk saying Farage "did not have what it takes" to lead the party. Farage suggested the snub was over a disagreement about Mr Musk's support for the jailed far-right activist Tommy Robinson. Speaking on LBC, Farage said he...

Labour's plot to ‘rig’ the next election by meddling with voting laws was last night described as ‘deeply concerning’. Sir Keir Starmer’s government is proposing to allow millions of foreign nationals to vote and abolish measures to prevent voter fraud. Ministers are considering plans to overhaul the way elections are held by scrapping voter ID laws and give five million foreign nationals the right to vote in UK elections.

@Nigel_Farage Keir Starmer is sweeping the failures of the establishment under the carpet. Nothing less than a full national inquiry into the rape gangs will do.

"The Reform Party needs a new leader. Farage doesn't have what it takes" - Elon Musk

Elon Musk has reignited his feud with the Prime Minister in a social media rant where he called for a new UK election and the release of far-right activist Tommy Robinson from prison. The world’s richest man, who is a close ally of incoming US President Donald Trump, posted a series of tweets on Thursday stating “free Tommy Robinson” and in another said “a new election should be called in Britain”. He added that “only” Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party could “save” Britain.

Nigel Farage has claimed Elon Musk will help Reform UK win over young voters and beat the Conservatives at the next general election. The Reform UK leader said the Tesla tycoon and social media mogul is "an absolute hero figure" for the younger generation. Farage believes Musk would be a "huge help" in connecting youth voters with the party, amid rumours of a potential major donation from the world's richest man. The comments come as Farage remains locked in a heated dispute with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch over Reform UK's membership numbers. The former UKIP leader has hinted at possible...
