Nigel Farage lambasts Keir Starmer’s UK budget before backtracking on own tax cut promises

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage on Monday accused successive British governments of failing to confront the country’s “economic mess,” declaring that the UK has been “living under an illusion” about its economic health. Speaking in the City of London, Farage predicted another dismal budget lacking the resolve to cut public spending. He argued that any recent GDP growth was only due to “mass migration on a scale hitherto never even contemplated” and claimed Britain was slipping in global rankings while “kidding ourselves it’s OK.”
