One of the worst political insults imaginable is used by Starmer to humiliate Farage.
This afternoon, our Politics team attended Keir Starmer’s speech in the north west where the Prime Minister branded Nigel Farage “Liz Truss 2.0”. In a ferocious attack, the PM accused the Reform UK leader of planning a “mad experiment” that will hammer family finances.
He compared Reform’s obstinate pledges to Tory disaster Liz Truss, who caused market chaos and caused mortgage rates to rocket due to her mini-Budget’s tax-lowering policies. However, Mr. Farage refrained from criticizing the prime minister, calling it “Project Fear 2.0.”
The PM claimed that Mr. Farage’s promises demonstrated that he cannot be trusted, stating that they included “the kind of irresponsible splurge” that caused the highest rates for mortgage payments, bills, and living expenses. Liz Truss has resurrected.
He continued, “Nigel Farage is doing Liz Truss 2.0 with the same promises of billions and billions of pounds in unfunded cuts.” Working people are a part of my responsibility to prevent that from ever happening to them, in my opinion.
