In a 2018 interview with US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, made controversial remarks comparing parents of Sandy Hook school shooting victims to left-wingers attempting to restrict free speech. Farage appeared to align himself with Jones, who was facing legal action from the bereaved parents for spreading false claims that the tragedy was staged. During the interview, Farage did not challenge Jones's assertion that he was being unfairly targeted by "frauds." The comments made by Farage have sparked criticism and raised concerns about his stance on free speech and conspiracy theories.

Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, had a drink thrown over him during his campaign launch in Essex. The incident occurred when a woman targeted Farage as he was campaigning in the area.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has kicked off his campaign in the Essex constituency of Clacton, dealing a significant blow to the Conservative Party. This move comes as a poll expert predicts that Farage's presence in the upcoming election could potentially cost the Tories up to 60 seats. Farage's campaign launch in Clacton signals his intent to challenge the traditional political landscape and shake up the status quo.
