Nigel Farage, lying to Congress here. The New World, the magazine I edit, was banned from Reform's conference this morning, three months after they accepted our request for a press pass
Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events:
"I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

Proof, if it were needed, that Farage has no interest in better outcomes for UK. Instead, he wants to find external means of support for his ethnonationalist agenda.
Politico: "The Sun has seen evidence to [a US] committee submitted by Nigel Farage in which he suggests the White House should use “diplomacy and trade” in the free speech battle, which sounds like calling for Britain to be bullied into a law change."
Is Farage calling for sanctions AGAINST the UK?
