Nigel Farage

Member of Parliament

Nigel Farage is a British politician, broadcaster, and former leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), known for his key role in advocating for Brexit. Born in 1964, Farage started his career in commodities trading before entering politics in the early 1990s. He co-founded UKIP in 1993 and served multiple terms as its leader, using his populist and often controversial rhetoric to push for the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. Farage was a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 1999 to 2020, where he gained a reputation for fiery speeches criticizing the EU. His leadership was instrumental in forcing the 2016 Brexit referendum, which resulted in a vote to leave the EU, significantly altering the course of British politics.

Reform UK Candidate Suspended Over Jimmy Savile Tweets Praising 'Working Class Hero'

Stephen Hartley, a Reform UK candidate in the Banbury Hadrwick ward, has been suspended from the party after tweeting support for Jimmy Savile, a prolific rapist and sexual predator. The tweet, posted on X in 2022, referred to Savile as a "working class hero" and expressed doubt about allegations against him. It is believed that Savile preyed on approximately 500 victims, aged five to 75 years old, across various settings including hospitals, schools, children's homes, and BBC premises. Following the discovery of Hartley's posts, Reform UK withdrew its support for his candidacy, but he will still appear on Oxfordshire County Council's ballot paper as the candidate list was published before the suspension.
