Campaigners ring the alarm on the rise of Farage and the far-right
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage arrives at Clacton Leisure Centre in Clacton, Essex, during the count for the 2024 General Election, July 5, 2024

CRIES of “racist” rang throughout Reform leader Nigel Farage’s election press conference today.

Ten activists from Stand Up to Racism staged the protest, which came as the far-right party won 4 million votes — 15 per cent of the overall share.

Mr Farage will enter Parliament after winning Clacton, and will be joined by four others from his party representing Ashfield, Boston and Skegness, Great Yarmouth, and South Basildon and East Thurrock.
