‘What Nigel's done is DISGRACEFUL - I'm APPALLED’ | Nigel Farage ATTACKED for shock election move

There's been so many people speculating about Nigel Farage,

what

he's going to do, whether he's going to stay, whether he's not going to resist, uh, a lot of talk about the impact of his decision, well, we're not all worried anymore because njel

farage

, uh, this tomorrow he announced his intention, uh, with a letter, I can bring you that letter now, uh, but long story short, he basically said no, he's not going to run in the next general

election

, he said he's thought a lot about it, um and ultimately instance, yes. he supports the reform. The UK fully supports that party and wants viewers to, of course, trust Richard Ty and Lee Anderson, but he goes on to say that now is not the right time to go beyond

what

he says. um, the general

election

in the United Kingdom is important, but the contest in the United States of America, uh, obviously, in November has enormous global importance, um, a strong United States, he says, as a close ally, is vital to peace and security and intends to help with the bases. campaign there, what do you think of this?

I have been friends with Nigel Farage for the end of 30 years, yes, I gave him his first gig on the radio when he ran a radio company, I think he has made a serious mistake, I think it is the wrong decision. I thought that letter that he, the pamphlet that he gave there was a disgrace, frankly, because what he was saying was look, the little old United Kingdom of the United Kingdom, well, very nice too, but actually there's there's one more fish. big to fry. I'm going to the US, that's fine and in fact, if I'd worked a bit more there I might have said what he said now, which is actually that I'm not going to be on the GB news for the next six. weeks and I'm going to go out and campaign for reform.

Now look at Richard Ty, who you often have on this at your station. It's a good job. I don't want to be cruel to him, but it is a job. one day right wing politician Nigel Farage is for many people a shining light what he managed to do with Brexit Pro will never be achieved again a man who was not even in Parliament got us all to vote in a way that some will regret but others are delighted, so why did you make this decision correctly? Why did he consider that the United States was actually more important than the United Kingdom?

He could have

done

it. He could have

done

both. He can

move

voters. What can he do when, if he ran as Reform leader and spoke exclusively about immigration, the audience following him might have pushed them up to 20%? Yes, he would have destroyed the conservative party, but it could have had an effect, i.e. stopping the boats. Etc, but now he has let it go. Look, I love Nigel. Absolutely, I am

appalled

by what he has done and how he has disappointed what I suspect are many of your viewers tonight. Well, that's what you've been writing.

If you tell me and you're divided, I'll include you in the conversation and continue in a second, but as Kelvin mentions after that letter, Nigel Farage issued a video update, let's hear that too, there he panicked in the rain. He was ill-prepared and called early general elections, which surprised and surprised us all. He did, of course, because there will be no flights to Rwanda. He did it, of course, because he feared that I would be on the front lines again. Now he may be relieved to know that I am not going to say why 6 weeks is not enough to fight for a constituency seat and campaign across the country.

The bad news, Mr Sunak, is that I will be all over the country campaigning, appearing in the media. support Richard TI in absolutely every way, in my opinion only reform has the agenda that can reverse our national decline. I will, but as the year goes on I will be in the United States more and more because I think Trump is back in the White House. he makes the world a much safer place, so for those who think thank God he's gone, no, I'm not gone at all and at some point I'll come back as a candidate, this is not the right time for me.

I have one more important political card to play in my life. It's not now, what do you think about that at home? um, I can tell you that so far you're torn. Maggie says Nigel has done a smart thing. She says why. Would anyone stand as a deputy in favor of a reform? She says it is unlikely they will get a single seat. Victor says that he has made the right decision this time in five years and that he should try to do it. He then says that Labor will win this general election and then maybe a new genuine Conservative party could return.

Robert says he believes Farage is playing a blind role. He will go to the United States to get Trump elected. We will have a horrendous star government and then Farage will play an important role between the UK and the US, he says, and in the next election cycle he believes Farage will come back as strong as ever and push hard in UK politics, and he says It's hysterical that GB News continues the Farage fetish, this is a man I never even came close to winning, as a constituency MP, he even lost to a guy in a dolphin suit.

He says Farage is a classic politician. patriot, but it seems like he is putting America first Carrie Dingle, what about all this? Well, I'm not on his team for a reason, but I have a certain amount of respect for him and he's a man of the people and you know, I supported Brexit all the way. However, I really object to what he put in his letter even though he won't be going to the states to campaign for Trump, not because like some people say, oh boohoo that's not being patriotic, I think that's bullshit, You know, there's no way you can tell.

Nael Farage is not a patriot, but because he goes on and on about sovereignty quite rightly and we have no business interfering in American elections. I remember in the last one and we had something similar about Brexit. The Guardian uh in 2019 urged its readers to I wrote to friends in the states to vote for Biden and I thought it was scandalous that he was interfering in other citizens' elections and I think you know, of course, that you can be friends with people from all over. the world, support them and plead your case in Britain about the global situation. politics and if you support Trump or Biden, I think they're both a disaster, huh, but to go and campaign, there's something dubious about that, you think, what do you think about that at home?

Honestly, you're really torn if you're a reformist candidate. I'm especially interested to hear from you because I've seen a couple of comments about that and the impact that that has had on your morale today, but I'm wondering if you're a candidate for reform, let me know what you think. uh Bob has said uh he got in touch and said I feel that njel

farage

has let this country down with his decision not to stand today Tim says I know people are disappointed that Nigel is not standing but remember he has done everything possible for many years to put Britain on what he thought was the right path and says, let's not forget that we could do with a decent trade deal with the United States and if Nigel gets a prominent position, he reckons that trade deal would be much better easy if he stood firm.

Do you think he would have been chosen? um, no, I'm not 100% sure about that and I understand his argument that he'd only had six weeks, but honestly, there will be a lot of candidates. out there that no one knows anything about and at least Nigel would have had a lot of media coverage so he's probably in better shape than most so, you know, it'll be Nip and Tuck whether he got picked or not, but the thing about immigrants is so huge within our politics now the fact that he represents we are going to turn back the boats we are going to leave ECR that those are two threads that I think would be an umbilical cord for ordinary people and I think he had a good chance Frankly Yes, and all this because we are reaching summer.

We mentioned it, right? We have about 10,000 people who have done those Birke crossings so far and this is a big key dividing line, some people will say I'll talk about the uni party and everything else, but there is a big dividing line between the Conservatives and Labor on this from Rwanda, yes, exactly, I mean the sun will be whistling Gypsy Tunes, right? Because the truth about the matter is that it is so good. Because he's Richard Ty, he can't be in the spotlight in the same way as Nigel and I noticed that he immediately went straight to Starma accusing him of offering, which is true, an amnesty to immigrants coming to our country so that Sun knows which button to press. about this and actually Nigel is the guy who invented the button so why didn't he take the opportunity?

Look, and the other thing is, you worry about getting defeated, right? You worry about getting defeated, I might still go to the United States later, by the way. By the way, what's up with the GB news executive director? Don't you ask where Nigel will be between 7am and 8am most nights between 5th July and November? Well, we know the answer: he won't be hosting his regular show. For that short-term period, I'm asking you on Twitter whether or not you think Nigel Farage made the right decision or not. So far, 56% of you say yes, you think he made the right decision, of course, then 44% think. no it's not Tracy says I can understand Farage's position, let the work come in and then screw it up next time, he says with his Net Zero and his gender madness and then you should turn up and give him a girl next time, do you think that he?

Do you think he would actually come back the next time and get involved again? Who is the one who just contacted you? Kei says I'm absolutely disgusted that Nigel is leaving for America after the election, when he could be there. for the elections, he says that most of us say that we joined the reform because we expected Nigel to be part of it, look, he says that he is very disappointed just because of that and that he will be interested, Michael says that without farage reform, it is a waste. vote um and I saw um I saw a clip actually the Conservatives have adopted a line of attack, they were actually saying that Labor wants you to vote for the Reform Party.

I thought that was a pretty interesting prospect too because obviously they're going to that neck of the woods that is the Tes they're going to be putting pressure on that bastard to reform uh essentially it's going to be a vote for the Labor Party of course reform it. would argue massively, um and Colin says how could Nigel do this to all of us. The girl cried when I said Colin, I totally agree with that, no Nigel, there is no reform, okay, I think your figures are around 9% at the moment and most of that 9% is made up of people who they thought Farage was going to work. he remains and now that he is not, I hope he does.

I'm not saying it's going to go down dramatically but it's not going to grow under Farage, that number could have been over 20% and, by the way, it would have destroyed the conservative party.
