Nigel Farage Says Reigniting Brexit Debate Opens Political Door for Reform UK
Burnham also called for a National Care Service, tighter control of utilities and more powers for local communities, while Labour MPs backed the agenda.
- Nigel Farage challenged Andy Burnham over his openness to Britain rejoining the European Union, claiming this decision provides his biggest political boost in decades and sharpening battle lines for the next election.
- Polling guru Professor Sir John Curtice reported earlier this month that support for rejoining the European Union has reached 61 per cent, the highest level since the 2016 Brexit vote. This surge suggests potential for a broad political coalition.
- Separately, the Metropolitan Police launched a criminal investigation into claims Reform breached party donation rules regarding foreign funding. Reform denied wrongdoing but recently secured two massive £36m donations for its election war chest.
- Farage also faced criticism for avoiding a high-profile BBC interview regarding an alleged £5m 'gift' from a Thai-based billionaire. Reform has denied wrongdoing while maintaining its election strategy.
- Ben Judah, Ed Miliband's former adviser in the Foreign Office, suggests Burnham could unite voters across Labour, the Lib Dems, Greens and Conservatives to win a majority in Parliament, mirroring Boris Johnson's 2019 'Get Brexit done' strategy.
