Yup. The evidence suggests Farage did say racist things in a "hurtful" way...
In 2013, Farage told Michael Crick he was a "troublemaker" who "wound people up". "“I did say things that would offend deeply ... I made arguments against [English teachers], that I didn’t necessarily believe in". He says this was just support for Enoch Powell - in 1981 - not for further right views

When I asked Nigel Farage's spokesman last week, he flatly denied that his boss had ever racially abused anyone.
Now Farage is only saying he never did so in a "hurtful way".
Does he think there's a non-hurtful way to racially abuse someone?

If people become insecure, we find they’re three times more likely to desert Labour than if they become more concerned about immigration. Around one-third of Britons felt economically insecure as of April 2025.
Focusing on immigration is a ‘red herring’ when financial security is so foundational.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.
