Farage: Election campaign hijacked by ‘loopy’ candidates
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, stated that the party’s general election campaign was severely impacted by the controversy surrounding several of its candidates.
He described some of the candidates as “at best loopy and at worst extremely racist,” and acknowledged that this did “enormous harm” to the party’s chances.
Farage estimated that around 20 problematic candidates may have cost the party up to 1.5 million votes, stressing the importance of better candidate selection in the future.

The rise in both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic hate crime is "really appalling but not a surprise", says the director of policy at the Community Security Trust, a charity whose mission it is to provide safety to the UK Jewish community. Dr Dave Rich adds that the "enormous" increase has been apparent on social media and offline, exacerbated by the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th 2023, the subsequent, ongoing war in the Middle East and the anti-immigration riots that occurred in the UK over the summer.
