because, as nigel farage has said, the brexit party was burned that way in 2019.grow further from. i think you're currently on about 25%, obviously, for reform to govern on its own, without the help of the tories or anyone else for that matter, that vote share needs to begin with a three. it probably needs to be 34, 35 at a minimum. do you think you can do that over the next four years, and how will you do that? how will you broaden your sort of appeal so you can win over not just tories but also labour voters? >> i mean, i agree, we need to and we are doing actually i mean, what i find remarkable, which we i think we only saw it briefly during brexit where we could pull from the left as well. but with reform it is remarkable on the ground. camilla i've seen it myself when i'm campaigning. reform's ability to pull from both labour and conservative, and we've seen it in the recent council by—election results. and i think that the elections, what's left. we know that obviously conservatives and labour have been colluding to cancel a lot and they've cancelled a lot.

who has echoed these _ and nigel farage who has echoed these things but also talk elsewhere, there is vance, the — echo with what you heard from jd vance, the vice president of the united — vance, the vice president of the united states at the munich security conference on what you heard today. she was _ conference on what you heard today. she was attempting to echo jd vance. she was attempting to echojd vance. there were important differences because she spoke about the threat from russia in a way thatjd vance didn't. jd vance says the threat comes from inside europe itself and she wasn't quite going that far but frankly it was a disappointing speech from a leader of an opposition that has to be relevant and i do actually believe a good government benefits from a good opposition and at the moment, what i am hearing from kemi badenoch is more of the same, culture wars stuff. if which doctor willie stewart, one of the world's leading experts on brain injury, has told newsnight exclusively that this new rule, quote, places the spectacle of the game ahead of players�* brains because he d

well, nigel farage us us all a stark that earlier on today. welcome back to farage with me.bney standing in for the big man now, the usual presenter of this show. of course, nigel farage has been out with farmers today as they took to the streets of westminster for more than three to protest against new inheritance tax rules from the labour party. now hundreds of tractors descended on the capital just hours before mps were due to debate. the petition, calling for current tax exemptions for working farms to remain in place. still, labour has insisted it will not make a u—turn on its plan to introduce that 20% inheritance tax rate on farms more than worth more than £1 million. now, i'd like to say i'm joined in the studio by justin rogers. he's the head of farmers to action, the organisers behind today's farmers protest, as well as my panel. and that's still joined by gwen taylor, the former spokesman for reform uk, and doctor tessa dunlop, the historian and broadcaster. justin, let's start with you. the third time now, there's been a peaceful turnout. a very handsome turnout

meanwhile, reform uk leader nigel farage has been in the commons voting on the chagos islands deal motion has sparked outrage by suggesting we sell it to america. >> would rather see america have the sovereignty of the chagos islands that are corrupt, that are corrupt. mauritius, why don't we if we're if we're going to give this up, let�*s sell, to give this up, let's sell, let's sell. let's get a few billion quid for the mauritius islands, for the chagos islands. mauritius has no legal basis, no legal claim. and you know what investment would come that chagossians could go back and get well—paid jobs. i want us to keep sovereignty. but if you're keep sovereignty. but if you�*re prepared to give away this country's interests, sell it to america. don't give it away to america. don�*t give it away to corrupt mauritius. >> gb news can exclusively reveal more than 2000 small boat migrants have crossed the channel illegally since the start of the year. the latest group of 138 arrived last night, brought into dover by border force after being picked up in uk waters earlier. another boat was int

a tireless campaigner for brexit was reform ukip leader nigel farage. here he is celebrating five years ago today. mr farage is holding a reform party conference in kemi badenoch constituency. he told martin daubney although it was the right thing to do, we haven't grasped the opportunities that could have come with it. >> there are so many things that we stayed aligned to, including most of their rule book. now, clearly what keir starmer wants to do is in terms of, of defence and perhaps even foreign policy, tie us closer to the european union. from the sounds of it, he wants us to start mirroring the single market rulebook. i mean, none of that is good. but is keir starmer going to take us back into the european union? no, he is not. so i just see this now as being unfinished business. you're quite right. starmer was an uber remainer, a rejoiner wanted to have a second referendum. the tories, from what i can see now, never really believed in it. so reform are the only people who can finish the only people who can finish the job. >> despite the economi

we've seen a slump in support for the labor government and a rise and rise of nigel farage's reform uk i think we are going to see very significant change in the coming years. and also what's happening is that the political space is opening up. there is more political competition. voters who previously did not vote or were not politically engaged are being brought in to politics. so i think that asg received the votes of about 1.8 million voters who'd never voted before. and in general, there was a very high turnout there, which shows us the polarization and the demand for change. so unless this these kind of democratic deficits, as we identify it, are addressed by the mainstream political parties, this is the direction of political change in future. >> it's fascinating when you talk about the, the, the need for change, but you would have thought that back in 2016, it would have been enough of a wake up call for some of these mainstream parties to begin to try to address the underlying issues that has led to the rise of these fringe parties. joan, talk to me about france. france was re

from near saffron walden, nigel farage having a huge amount of fun here.t's kemi badenoch constituency. but they got into a row, didn't they, at christmas over the party membership numbers for reform, which she said were fake. not only were they not fake, reform have now got 190,000 members as against the conservatives, about 130,000. so nigel farage here, hundreds of reform members and they are on a roll. he's saying everybody laughed about me saying that brexit couldn't be done. they're not laughing now. also saying that the same appues also saying that the same applies about reform. sure, they've only got five mps at the moment, but it sounds if you believe what they say, like the sky is the limit. now i'm just going to grab one of them. he's being mobbed, but he knows he's going to talk to us. i'm just going to talk to us. i'm just going to talk to us. i'm just going to grab him. so this is rupert lowe. he is the reform mp. as you can see. lots of requests for selfies. he is the reform mp for great yarmouth. let's just have a quick word with him. excus

a tireless campaigner for brexit was reform uk leader nigel farage.ere he is celebrating five years ago. well, today mr farage is holding a reform party conference in kemi badenoch constituency. he's due to take to the stage any moment now. earlier he told martin daubney although it was the right thing to do, we haven't grasped the opportunities that could have come with it. >> there are so many things that we stayed aligned to, including most of their rule book. now, clearly what keir starmer wants to do is in terms of, of defence and perhaps even foreign policy ties closer to the european union. from the sounds of it, he wants us to start mirroring the single market rule book. i mean, none of that is good. but is keir starmer going to take us back into the european union? no, he is not. so i just see this now as being unfinished business. you're quite right. starmer was an uber remainer. rejoiner wanted to have a second referendum. the tories, from what i can see now, never really believed in it. so reform are the only people who can finish the only

it's labour running scared from nigel farage and reform. the party is facing a backbench rebellion on migration. but tonight we will reveal the top labour seats that are facing an existential threat from reform, as the government is revealed to be planning a new islamophobia definition. i'm going to be asking tonight the free speech union founder, toby young, what this means for the future of free speech. i'll also be speaking to the former home secretary, suella braverman, about the government's plan to press ahead with the disastrous chagos surrender. plus, following the killing of a swedish anti—islam activist. we're going to be going live tonight to sweden, revealing how it has been utterly transformed by mass immigration. that's state of the nation with me. matt goodwin starts right now. state of the nation with me. matfacing win starts right now. state of the nation with me. matfacing winexistentialt now. state of the nation with me. matfacing winexistential threat are facing an existential threat from reform, as the government is rev

and now nigel farage is holding the balance of power.e poll's findings, the conservatives will win 178 seats, labour 174 and reform uk 175. now that is as tight as chris hope's wallet on a friday night, and that would be a dramatic rise from the five that reform won in 2020. for now, the most likely government outcome of this would point to a conservative reform uk coalition now. meanwhile, labour mps in 98 red wall seats are panicking that keir starmer isn't doing enough on immigration to keep the reform party at bay. but with many other labour mps in favour of freedom of movement and in fact some even wanting to give immigrants the right to vote. is immigration a problem that labour simply cannot or will not solve? now that is a lot to get our teeth into, and i've [000:09:09;00] [000:09:09;00]

so are we talking about reform as a political game changer or nigel farage as a political game? s reform without nigel? that is the key question. >> well, i don't know. i mean, reform have got some great people there. yusuf, who is quite. >> he's impressive. impressive. he was very impressive on question time the other day. >> lee anderson, he was very good. lee anderson, who shoots from the hip, says what he wants. >> well, i'd never insult lee anderson. he's bigger than me. >> well, i wouldn't, i wouldn't if i were you, because he'll definitely win on that one. he's brilliant, isn't he? and he speaks the language of normal people. i think the problem with the labour party is they're just not listening to the constituents at all. and actually hearing from this andrew gwynne, it seems some of them hold their constituents in absolute contempt. >> well. >> well. >> i think it's a big problem. >> i think it's a big problem. >> i think it's a big problem. >> i have frequently come on here to defend the labour party, and i do the best i can. i've known andrew gwynne for years, and i w

on a particular day to reject nigel farage.lot of people are upset about this, as i've said, reported her and saying there was she was essentially creating hatred towards nigel farage. then the story moved on, because what's happened now, today is that lots of people have been challenging zara on this, saying that you shouldn't have done this post and so on. she's issued a statement on social media. it's quite a lengthy statement, but the essence of it is that she essentially compares things that reform uk have said to being comparable to the national front and the bnp, she says. she's a born and bred, proud brummie. her parents suffered the violent consequences of what she calls far right politics, and she speaks for many, she says, in the proud, multicultural city when she says she rejects the politics of hatred, hatred and division, she goes on to say that she thinks reform uk is a party bankrolled by billionaires, led by an ex banker and public school boys and so on and so forth. she says we stand for solutions, not scapego

want to augn that nigel farage would want to align with the conservatives would be to ditch net zeroo ditch net zero? i would say that if the labour party wants to get its base back, then it has to make a great fuss about the cost of electricity. i mean, power, electricity. i mean, power, electricity should always have three priorities security of supply, the cost to the consumer industry, and then think about the environment. and labour has done that in reverse. at the moment we promised reduced fuel pnces moment we promised reduced fuel prices and they're now very high indeed. and our industry is leaving. so i think if we want to get our base back, then we have to start with that. we also have to start with that. we also have to start with that. we also have to deal. and i've just been in the commons chamber. we also have to deal with what upsets my constituents, which is both illegal migration and the absolute numbers of migration. the labour party has to be quite firm, not racist, but very clear in a plan to deal with what, again, my constituents are angry about and see as a prob

coming up, sir keir starmer has issued his warning to the uk, branding nigel farage's reform uk as dangerous. >> a dangerous right wing politics. even here in scotland. that will say they are the ones who can tilt politics towards the interests of working people. they claim to be the party of patriotism, but their fawning over putin. no, they are not the answer for working people in britain. >> danger. danger is my middle name, but that seems to put him on a collision course with donald trump. >> the leader of the uk reform party, who, by the way, did really well in that last election. he took it by storm and they say he's going to do even better this time. >> so is our relationship with the us under threat? this is what one united states senator said about sir keir starmer, as he begged him to reconsider his stance on the chagos islands. >> the united kingdom is our friend. i went to school there for a while. i love them and i want to see the prime minister do well, but he needs to put down the bomb. >> then tonight, great british debate. i'm asking will. the jd vance was right about free s

we had what looks like a coordinated attack on reform uk and nigel farage, particularly on one issue, nhs. >> crux of farage's argument is this what was possible in the 20th century is not possible in the 21st. it's a miserablist, declinist vision for britain's future. people shouldn't have to choose between a health service that treats them on time, and an nhs free at the point of use. thatis nhs free at the point of use. that is a poverty of ambition for our country, and labour utterly rejects it. >> even when nigel farage tried asking a question about a war hero in pmqs on wednesday, he was drowned out by again seemingly coordinated labour heckling. farage then accused labour of panicking the seine. >> no wonder nobody. >> no wonder nobody. >> interesting. not very respectful, you'd say, for an mp in parliament. and this is farage's response. >> appears to be some panic on that side of the house. i'm not surprised. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> and what did the prime minister say? well, surprise, surprise, he accused reform of being not too generous with their stance on the nhs.

and could this be a nigel farage is time to pounce. well, now, sources close to the reform leader claim that he is prepared to work with boris johnson to defeat labour. but is this a backfire waiting to happen? and donald trump, meanwhile, has come to the defence of prince harry, ruling out deporting the duke of sussex after he reportedly lied on his american visa application. the president, however, did have some fairly harsh words for meghan. i'm dawn neesom and this is the weekend. so thank you so much for joining me on this lovely sunday afternoon. i hope you're having afternoon. i hope you're having a really chill time out there and looking forward to valentine's day, because it's coming up, isn't it? it's also my husband's birthday as well, so i'd better remember because this show is nothing without you and your views. so everything we're talking about today, from trump to nigel farage to love, let me know your views on it or anything you want to chat about sunday afternoon. who cares? frankly. so it's very easy to get involved a

is nigel farage. the new and improved roy jenkins?e breaking the mould of british politics in the way the sdp tried to 40 years ago? certainly the two party system is under strain, with a new yougov poll showing reform in the lead for the first time and the tories in third place. yougov has reform on 25%, labour 24, and we're on 21% of the popular vote. this may be within the margin of error, but one thing is clear reform is now a force to be reckoned with. the poll also reveals something, perhaps even more telling. 1 in 5 tory voters from the last election would now vote for nigel reform is stealing the conservative party's clothes. it has various ideas from which the tories ought to be drawing inspiration on immigration, both legal and illegal. the much needed net zero migration, as well as on the economy, on law and order, and of course, on the crazy net zero plans. the last election shows that the british voter is out of love with the status quo. there was no enthusiasm for sir keir. the reverend starmer's labour party has shown,
