Farage accused of peddling 'nonsense and lies' - as he predicts 'the new Brexit'
Saturday, 19 April 2025 () Ed Miliband has accused Nigel Farage of peddling "nonsense and lies" about the government's commitment to net zero, as the Reform UK leader said the issue could become the "new Brexit".
Nigel Farage says Chinese firms should have no role in UK infrastructure after ministers took control of British Steel. The government acted over the weekend amid fears its Chinese owner planned to shut Scunthorpe’s furnaces. Farage said China is “not a friend of ours” and warned the UK must “find alternatives” even if it means less investment. Report by Covellm.

Nigel Farage has accused authorities of a “cover-up” following the 2024 Southport stabbing. The Reform UK leader said public anger was fuelled by withheld information, calling it an example of “two-tier policing.” He argued that clearer details about the attacker could have prevented riots and criticised how emotional online reactions were handled.

Nigel Farage has claimed Reform UK is now the main challenger to Labour in the Midlands, North, Wales and Scotland, pushing the Conservatives into third place. In a campaign speech, he said voters felt betrayed by the Tories over Brexit and immigration, adding that backing the Conservatives in red wall areas would be a “wasted vote.” Report by Covellm.

Nigel Farage has backed calls for the nationalisation of the British steel industry as the government races to keep the furnaces burning. The Reform UK leader referred to British Steel’s Chinese owner Jingye as "bad faith actors" and said the steel plant should be taken over by a private business.
