Farage: 'no contradiction' in Reform UK being
'the party of workers but also the party of entrepreneurs'
Nigel Farage claims that “the exodus in London
and in some other parts of the country is now in full flight.”
He says it is “the biggest brain drain we’ve had
since the 1970s, and yet no one seems to have woken up to it.”
Farage says “there is absolutely no contradiction
in saying that we are the party of workers but also the party of entrepreneurs.
The two can’t survive and exist and succeed without each other.”

The day
so far
Nigel
Farage says prime minister Keir Starmer doesn’t believe in anything, and that
“while I don’t bear him any personal grudge, I don’t think there’s any malice
in him at all” he did not appear to have a plan for government
Farage
said it is Reform UK policy to lift the two-child benefit cap, and the removal
of a universal winter fuel allowance. He says this is “not because we support a
benefits culture, but because we believe for lower paid workers, this actually
makes having children just a little bit easier for them. It’s not a silver
bullet. It doesn’t solve all of those problems, but it helps them.”
Farage
also said that the recently announced deal with the EU is “a total sell-out and
something that [Keir Starmer] promised he wouldn’t do.”
Education
secretary Bridget Phillipson has said that removing the two-child benefit cap
is “not off the table” as she defended Labour’s record on introducing measures
to tackle child poverty
Labour
party chair Ellie Reeves has said that Nigel Farage cares only about his own
“own self-interest” ahead of the Reform UK leader giving a speech this morning
in which he is expected to call Keir Starmer unpatriotic
Shadow
chancellor Mel Stride has also been on the media round this morning, and also
been attacking Reform UK. Appearing on Times Radio, and with it pointed out to
him that the Conservatives were currently fourth in national polling, Stride
said “Look, where we are is in a multi-party system at the moment, under first
past the post
Nearly
half of all “red wall” voters disapprove of the way Starmer’s government has
dealt with benefits-related policy, a poll has found, as ministers faced
continued pressure over winter fuel and disability payments, and the two-child
benefit cap
More than
100 of the UK’s most high-profile disabled people have called on the prime
minister to abandon “inhumane and catastrophic plans to cut disability
benefits”
The
co-leader of the Green party of England and Wales, Adrian Ramsay, has renewed
his call for Russia to face greater sanctions. Posting to social media, the MP
for Waveney Valley said “Putin has stepped up attacks on Ukrainian civilians
because he thinks he’ll face no consequences
