Nigel Paul Farage (born 3 April 1964) is an English politician who has served as leader of Reform UK since 3 June 2024, a change announced during the 2024 general election, at which he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Clacton in Essex. Previously, he was leader of the Brexit Party (as Reform was originally known) from 2019 to 2021, leader of the UK Independence Party (2006–2009, 2010–2016) and a Member of the European Parliament (1999–2020). Since 2021, Farage has hosted TV programmes on GB News in the UK.
[These comments from Nigel Farage are not attributed to the Twitter video in the source] I have been given no explanation or recourse as to why this is happening to me. This is serious political persecution at the very highest level of our system. The establishment are trying to force me out of the UK by closing my bank accounts. It has certainly made me think — what does this mean for me [...] No one has told me why and the only thing I can think of are the completely false claims made against me using parliamentary privilege.
The Prime Minister has campaigned so woefully that I believe that we are now approaching a tipping point as voters realise that the general election is effectively over. Labour has won. The Conservatives will be in opposition, but not the Opposition. In their place, Reform UK now intends to be that voice of opposition in parliament and the country.
