The infuriating thing is that he repeated this to every major broadcaster and NOT ONE journalist/anchor challenged his claim that Reform is some "start-up party that didn't exist three years ago", rather than the latest in a long line of rebrands of Farage's very well-funded, decades-old project.

NHS trusts still owe £21bn+ on PFI deals. Our new report, "Fix Hospitals or Fund Investors," reveals how these deals drain vital funds from patient care to private shareholders. With new private plans for 2026, we must learn from the past. Read: bit.ly/PFIProfits

I’m deeply concerned about recent racist attacks in our capital city.
From the TfL workers being punched and racially abused to women who were chased down the street - I’m deeply concerned about the alarming rise of racist attacks in our capital city. 
 
We are also seeing appalling incidents elsewhere in the country - some of which have included abhorrent violence towards children.
 
These incidents illustrate the dangers of allowing racism to be normalised and mainstreamed. Real lives and personal safety are under threat.
 
I will continue to speak out against racial inequalities and injustices, as well as providing support to organisations working to support our communities and bring people together.
 
London is a successful, liberal and multicultural city. The greatest in the world. It will always be for everyone and I promise you: that will never change.

It’s disappointing that we now use “illegal immigration” as a legitimate concern. UK law allows an asylum seeker to enter without legal paperwork. And they make up just 3%. We have always allowed a small number and nothing like other countries. But we processed them faster and allowed them to work.
