Farage honks his mouth off about ongoing police investigations, when told not to. His Welsh leader is in prison for taking bribes from Russia. He whips up riots. He’s in bed with Trump, foreign money, crooks and crypto billionaires…. A massive problem with national security is Farage himself.

'We have a massive problem with national security': Farage challenged on Fairford speculation
Reform UK leader told his social media followers the five men arrested after an RAF Fairford situation were "Iranian nationals". Sky's Rob Powell spoke to him after it was confirmed the men arrested are British nationals.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to

London's homicide rate hit its lowest level since records began. Yet 40% of the public thought that murders had risen since 2019. That’s the danger of disinformation. We cannot accept it, and to defeat it, we’ve got to put pressure on the social media companies who profit from it.

The loudest voices online aren't always the most accurate. New data shows our homicide rate is lower than every US state, while murder rates are at record lows. The evidence is clear: our approach to tackling crime and its causes works. It’s driving down violence right across the capital.

Just had a thought. Farage registered a £9,253 benefit from George Cottrell funding a Belgium trip in April 2024 - before the GE. This is the time that Farage and his allies say he was "not in politics." He declared that, but didn't declare the £5m Harborne gift. Something doesn't add up there...

Farage rejected offer of tax-payer security because he “wanted security at the same level as the Home Secretary who has the highest level of protection among govt ministers” Yet, on and on he whines. Demanding the highest public office with none of the scrutiny. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/464...
Nigel Farage declined offer of taxpayer-funded security
The Reform leader's spokesman told The i Paper it was a downgrade on the state-funded security he had previously received
13 July 2026, 3.10pm 

Nigel Farage, who is routinely accompanied by bodyguards, has claimed to be "the most physically and verbally attacked public figure or politician of modern times"The i Paper has learned he was offered a taxpayer-funded bodyguard, car and trained driver supplied by private contractors.
The offer followed a July 2025 review by Parliament's former security director Alison Giles, and specified that it could be upgraded for more high risk events.
The royal and VIP executive committee (Ravec), responsible for the security of the royals, the prime minister and the home secretary, was brought in to help assess the threat faced by MPs in February 2024.
One parliamentary source claimed Farage was unhappy with the offer as he wanted security at the same level as the Home Secretary, who has one of the highest levels of protection among government ministers. This was denied as "false" by a Reform spokesman who said the leader did not make specific requests.
