i want to try and get you to respond to what nigel farage said. nigel farage speaking out.. is it helpful? yes. or no? >> well, i'm saying is that i feel that he's scared to use those same standards he levels against muslims, against jews for doing exactly the same thing in terms of what you might call living in nigel in golders green and so on. would you call that a silo? you wouldn't you wouldn't dare because you'd be called an anti—semite and you'd you would hate that acid attacks in golders green. you said if england is the global, the global leader in acid attacks, then, then, then and it's not then, then, then and it's not the muslim world then clearly then it's not going to have to do with islam or muslims anyway. anyway, that's my rubbish. anyway. please address what nigel said. >> is it helpful or not? i mean, he's speaking truth, but it. >> well, well, i think we have to ask ourselves. is nigel out for the rights of the british citizen, the rights of the british citizen to protest and demonstrate no police are injured or attacked every week on the palestine demons

nigel farage is a decent man.people say, oh, you know, all this racist allegation and the homophobic is not any of that. he's a decent man. more to the point, though, he's a charismatic leader who i thought loved britain, but it seems that he loves america more than he loves britain. by by what i'm heanng loves britain. by by what i'm hearing today. so i'm very, very disappointed . richard tice is a disappointed. richard tice is a nice enough guy, but i'm afraid he's too beige as a leader, in my opinion. i don't he just doesn't do it for me. so will i be, you know? am i one of those people that was voting reform that's going to vote elsewhere? absolutely. i shan't be voting reform now. nigel's done that. >> wow. i'd like to read a few more comments out if i could. i'd like to read out your essays before the end of the show. some people are very supportive. rick says this. it's a strategic sound move. nigel's efforts would be wasted in britain. we need a younger generation to experience the misery and destruction c

so, the cat's been put amongst the pigeons once again by nigel farage.ot of people saying his comments were horribly islamophobic and racist. would you agree with that? i would say that many people have described what he said as, race baiting or religious baiting, because most people who are muslim in this country, were from immigrant backgrounds or recent immigrant backgrounds. and so they are convenient targets . 150 years convenient targets. 150 years ago, oswald mosley and nigel farage of his time, one might argue, from the british union of fascists, argued that jews were a problem in this country and that there was a large population who weren't assimilating or didn't follow british values. so here we are, in somewhat repeating history again with this and one of the most dangerous things i noticed from nigel farage's comments was he was criticising,

>> what is nigel's master plan? >> what is nigel's master plan?n two weeks ago. i was chatting with him for about half an hour. he seemed at ease with the world. he seemed to look. he looked as good as i've seen him. seen him? look he really did. he was fantastic. great company as always, wonderful charisma. and he has spent enough of his time with parties who aren't ever going to get a sniff of power. we saw it with ukip, various other guises, very other, you know, other other brands that they were launched and soon came and went irrespective of his personality. he is not going to lead one of those parties into government. our system is simply not built for it. i think he takes a break. he's nearly i think he's 60 years old or thereabouts. he takes a break. there's a huge vacuum in the tory party. that's where he'll end up. >> okay, what do you think about that? that's it's a bombshell. so? so i think aiden is suggesting that the tories lose the election and nigel comes to the election and nigel comes to the rescue and pretty much says, well, as

nigel nelson it's a bit of spin, isn't it?nk that the voters will be wise to ignore all this, this stuff being put out by both parties because they're not realistic. and you're absolutely right . the labour calculation is right. the labour calculation is based on what jeremy hunt says he'd like to do. but then the tory calculation from the treasury, doesn't it gets a load of, of labour party policies, wrong things. they haven't actually pledged . actually pledged. >> oh nigel, i should i should just say this is not the calculation from the treasury , calculation from the treasury, which was a much more mild figure. this was almost a joke that the conservative campaigners put out in response to the labour party's costings document, which included everything that they found labour shadow cabinet ministers saying they would like to do in the future, for example, reducing corporation tax to 12.5, unfreezing the personal allowance thresholds, cut, raising defence spending to 2.5. so they've included lots of things that labour haven

farage into the tory party >> it's not the tory party moving towards nigel farage.difference that we have to understand, jacob. and i'd say , understand, jacob. and i'd say, you know, because we heard there, nigel, that very interesting conversation that you both had and within a couple of minutes you were disagreeing because, look , no one can take because, look, no one can take away from nigel farage has been away from nigel farage has been a very effective politician , a a very effective politician, a maverick, a person who is disagreeing on values. >> were we were disagreeing on the track record of the conservative government yes. and some of his criticisms are quite valid that we did brexit in spite of the conservative officialdom, even though all our members were desperate for brexit, or the vast majority of them. yes. >> but the point of being in the party is you're a team player and you have to take the rough with the smooth and the challenges that we face. but you are quite rightly putting back to him the immense reforms that have been made in welfare. the

wrong footed nigel. big time. nigel admitted it. it was very clever.uld nigel mount a campaign in six weeks. so he's taken the power away from nigel, which i think nigel was really looking forward to. and to some extent, as you indicate, hurt reform's chances of damaging them as much as they could , a number of other could, a number of other reasons, too, but it's still so boring. >> but why can't nigel farage rustle up a campaign in the 11th hour? ream the nominations haven't closed yet. >> the nominations haven't closed yet. i mean, the conservative party haven't even finished selecting all of their candidates. no, neither of the labour party, to be fair either. i think what's interesting is that nigel is absolutely a threat to the conservative party. and i think that and i do really like richard tice as a person, but i think he hasn't got the same level of charisma as nigel, and he's also just, well, less well known. he's been in the job for less time. >> but everybody knows what nigel stands for. we all know what to expect from nigel farage. so i t

nigel paul farage. seven times, nigel farage has stood for parliament, seven times he's failed. attempt as he also says there will be some people very disappointed i'm not standing, but i am campaigning. and, you know, the problem is, six weeks is such a short period of time to fight a parliamentary constituency and promote the cause around the country. and, you know, i think rishi sunak has wrong—footed an awful lot of people, myself included. on the show he normally presents but will stop for the election, he said he had been set to stand. i will stop for the election, he said he had been set to stand.- will stop for the election, he said he had been set to stand. i had, to be honest with _ he had been set to stand. i had, to be honest with you, _ he had been set to stand. i had, to be honest with you, put _ he had been set to stand. i had, to be honest with you, put in - he had been set to stand. i had, to be honest with you, put in place i be honest with you, put in place some preparations to launch next week. i wonder whether the conservative party found out about it. at to

nigel. to. nigel. >> good evening.sponse to the protests at universities and growing anti—semitism today, the prime minister called a round table meeting in downing street. he wants to stamp out anti semitism. he wants our universities to be bastions of tolerance. while you're a bit late, old son on that one. i think i've been saying for some years that i felt that our universities in this country had become madrassas of marxism. well, i think we can throw racism into the pot now as well. i am pretty unimpressed by all of them last night. this is hard to believe, actually . the to believe, actually. the national union of students voted to expel the union of jewish students. quite unbelievable that it happened. even more unbelievable how little coverage that story has had today across the breadth of mainstream media. and then last night at the cambridge union, a good friend of mine, peter thiel, he's an american billionaire entrepreneur. he and elon musk together launched paypal just over 20 years ago. peter thiel was s

well, i'll get nigel, nigel farage's reaction to that in just a minute.e welcome back to the camilla tominey show. it's all kicking off here this morning. fun and games. anyone would think there's an election on. let's bnng there's an election on. let's bring nigel farage into the conversation. reform uk president and gb news presenter. nigel, you're in paddington. thanks for joining nigel, you're in paddington. thanks forjoining me. this morning. can we just nail down what happened last week because my intel , for what it's worth, my intel, for what it's worth, was that you were going to make this grand announcement on may the 30th that you were going to stand. my suspicion is that you were going to run for clacton, because the polling suggests you're a good 10% there, ahead there. and then i feel that reform and indeed reform supporters are being quite blindsided by your decision. then to say, no, you're not going to stand. and i can't quite work out what difference the timing makes. i appreciate you'd be squeezed, but you're either running for reform o

boris got only because of nigel and the conservatives got nigel, nigel, nigel and boris johnson got brexiteven you know david cameron called the referendum. >> but you know why david cameron. >> all right i'll be since you like the sound of your own mouth so much. why don't you go next. >> it's sound of my own voice, darren. and you're right. it does sound very good. let's cast our minds back to the very first episode of the saturday vie last march, in my opening monologue for this brilliant show, i said it was still possible for rishi sunak to win the next general election. and a lot of things have changed since then. but i'm here to say that the next general election is going to be closer than we think. yes, we've all seen the polls . labour's set all seen the polls. labour's set for a landslide, a 20 plus point poll lead. but if we look at the empirical data on the ground, what we saw in the local elections would actually point to a poll lead of much closer to around 10% than 20. and that would indicate to me that the next general election, which is going to be held on the 4th of july,

nigel. what? >> but that's okay. nigel. what?ay. it is true whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. but it is a fantasy, isn't it? because there's no such thing as somebody who's neither male nor female. you're either one or the other to a different degree. so you might be more female or more male. >> officially, either officially non—binary is not recognised as a gender. exactly. >> so it's made up. >> so it's made up. >> but people, people use it as a gender. and i think that in the workplace you would have to respect their decision just because they've made it up. >> well, listen , i can make up >> well, listen, i can make up a load of things i'm going to tell people at work now. i am to be referred to as hrh her royal highness. can i do that? >> no. or what about if i sat here and said i am now a giraffe and you must call me a giraffe? nigel would you do that if you required that for me to respect you, i would be happy to call you, i would be happy to call you a giraffe. >> you would not call him a giraffe? he's attentio

did nigel farage mention any of that other stuff? he didn't.ean, he brushed by it, but it was primarily about, it was primarily about immigration. it's interesting actually when he was reflecting in the news conference sort of out loud about his place and the place of the parties with which he's been associated within political debate and the labels he would attach to them. so he talked about various incarnations of ukip and the brexit party predecessors to reform uk as being pressure groups, almost single issue campaigns that then found the democratic process to be the most useful to propagate their argument. and i think what's interesting about reform uk in your conversation with richard tice on newscast was that actually what was interesting about reform uk is that they've pitched their tent significantly. their tent significantly more broadly and as you say, been more conventional, arguably as a political party outfit, as opposed to a single issue or fairly narrow issue campaigning organisation that then seeks elected office, if i'm making

and i think if nigel politician., then the reform party, then the conservatives would be very worried indeed about reform splitting the right wing vote as it is, richard tice is managing to get the reform party polling pretty well. but in by elections, we're not really seeing that polling play out and the conservative mps i've spoken to don't seem to be that worried on the whole about the threat of reform, what they're really worried about, of course, is laboun >> that's very interesting, olivia. we can't ignore. you are on board the liberal democrat battle bus. what's going on today? it looks like it's raining outside . raining outside. >> we're in the lake district, so of course it is raining, we've been in windermere and tim farron and ed davey, the leader of the liberal democrats, have been doing a bit of paddle boarding to get across their message about clean water. a huge liberal democrat policy campaign . when i asked ed davey campaign. when i asked ed davey earlier about what he made of keir starmer as a pote

and he thinks nigel farage is a very significant figure and nigel farage must feel that there's quiteaking well, obviously. donald trump is not able to appoint nigel farage, the uk ambassador to the united states. that's one. we call them the point, which is one job that nigel farage would rather like to have. so, what are you going to do - about the existing challenges before you slap on the stuff on top? and i think that's- a really important one. and, you know, it's going to be really difficult - and we know that already. right, just to kind _ of separate things out and go. these are the individual policies, but hey, we've got six weeks i to do it, so, pressure. there's nothing alive? nothing alive. ihio there's nothing alive? nothin: alive. ., , ., nothing alive. no unbearable pain. soiler, nothing alive. no unbearable pain. spoiler. it's — nothing alive. no unbearable pain. spoiler, it's all _ nothing alive. no unbearable pain. spoiler, it's all the _ nothing alive. no unbearable pain. spoiler, it's all the same _ nothing alive. no unbearable pain. spoiler, it's all the same thin

i hope nigel off, lee says. i hope nigel does stand in the election.to the max, and, richard says the reform party. oh. he says something quite rude about the reform party that we won't read out on air. joining me now is mark dolan . because, me now is mark dolan. because, mark, you've got quite a lot coming up. what do you make of the array of results that we've seen across the country? >> well, what i think it means is that it's all to play for in november or october or whenever the polls. >> january 2025. >> january 2025. >> well that's it. they could just hang on. they could wait till january and then cancel all elections. it's very popular elsewhere in the world. but look, the bottom line is that i don't think it's quite the headune don't think it's quite the headline of victories that labour would perceive it to be, the reason being, i don't detect any great enthusiast, the reason being, i don't detect any great enthusiast , for a any great enthusiast, for a labour government, this is not 1997 all over again. yes, the pubuc 1997 all over again. y

but at the end of the day, nigel. nigel, it's not about money. 25 years fighting for british sovereignty on an mep salary, which, let me tell you, is hardly, hardly a great deal of money, so . and at the end, he money, so. and at the end, he could have gone and done something else. so i think to say that he's just taking the coin now is it's drivel. and i'm delighted that he's going to be playing a much broader part in our campaign. i think britain is very disaffected with the duopoly. the two party system that's failed us. we have a very average bunch of people in parliament and we need change all right. >> look, both of you, can i just say a massive thank you? and we got there in the end. so, so good stuff, look, who do you agree with? and honestly, this has been really fascinating for me in this newsroom and online and reading things like gb news your say and, i've got quite a few things coming in here, at the moment in front of me just to see what the reaction has been to this nigel farage announcement, i can't help but wonder whether or not

is nigel farage. keir election? is nigel farage. keir starmer's number one political asset. also, his french president emmanuel macron, now a greater threat to britain than vladimir putin and poor old prince harry won't be staying at buckingham palace when he visits the uk next week. should he go budget and stay in a premier inn? to fall out over those topics and many more, my friday a team tv news legend nicholas owen ex bbc radio superstar liz kershaw and the founder of the electoral calculus polling expert martin baxter. so my reaction to today's political drama is coming in my friday feeling . but coming in my friday feeling. but first, the news headlines and sam francis . sam francis. >> mark, thank you very much . >> mark, thank you very much. and good evening to you. it's just gone 8:00 and we will start with the latest developments in the local elections. the conservatives have suffered their worst results in decades, conceding hundreds of seats to opposition parties across england. so far, labour's gained more than 170 seats and taken control of now eight more counc
