Labour has launched another shocking attack on Reform UK leader Nigel Farage<\/a>, this time comparing him to self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate, It comes after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer<\/a> previously accused Mr Farage of promoting \u201cracist\u201d policies.<\/p>\n

This time the comments were made by Sir Keir\u2019s right-hand man Darren Jones, a Cabinet Minister who is the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister. Speaking in front of a crowd at Labour\u2019s annual conference, he said he put Mr Farage in a \u201csimilar category\u201d to Mr Tate, an online influencer who is being sued by four women over claims he assaulted them, which Mr Tate denies.<\/p>\n

Mr Jones said: \u201cThere is a more muscular approach to attacking Reform. We don\u2019t just want to be in a position where we are responding to the crazy things tey are saying. and also we should be under no illusion that we win tat argument by making a Labour argument not by making a Reform-style argument.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the Conservatives<\/a> were \u201cpretty busted at the moment\u201d, adding: \u201cAnd so Reform are the real challengers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Jones said Reform had spoken about providing more chances to \u201cwhite working class boys\u201d. He continued: \u201cWhat are Reform offering? They literally have no offer to them whatsoever, apart from hate and division, othering and wanting to tear the system down.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said Nigel Farage<\/a> \u201cwants to tear everything down\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sky News Political Editor Beth Rigby, who was interviewing Mr Jones, said: \u201cHe has a big following with big people, particularly young men. He\u2019s much more popular with them than you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Jones replied: \u201cSo does Andrew Tate, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s okay. And I put them in similar categories, quite frankly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are snake oil salesmen that are misleading people and taking them down a dark path for them and for our country. We have to bring a light into that debate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this week the Crown Prosecution Service said Andrew Tate will face no criminal charges over allegations made by four women who are suing him in a High Court civil case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Labour has launched another shocking attack on Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, this time comparing him to self-proclaimed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":463373,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5226],"tags":[802,748,2000,299,5187,1699,4884,807,154941,154940,154938,154939,384,386,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-463372","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brexit","8":"tag-brexit","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-european","13":"tag-european-union","14":"tag-great-britain","15":"tag-keir-starmer","16":"tag-keir-starmer-labour-conference-speech","17":"tag-keir-starmer-speech","18":"tag-labour-conference","19":"tag-labour-conference-2025","20":"tag-nigel-farage","21":"tag-reform-uk","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115293916035358959","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463372\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/463373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
