If there’s so much buyer’s remorse about Brexit, why is Nigel Farage the rising figure in UK politics? Ten years on, an angry tribe sees itself as more English than British - and Ireland must stay alert to the dangers

⁉️Who is the rising figure in English politics?

Not someone offering solutions to the real problems of inequality, stagnation, or democratic disengagement.

But the man who did more than anyone else to make Brexit happen: Nigel Farage.

www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

The Tories have tried aping Farage, and they're plunging into electoral irrelevance. The same will happen to Starmer's Labour. Amplifying Farage's message of hate will push more of Labour's target audience to vote for the real Farage rather than the pale copy.

Farage must be attacked, not copied.

Thank you and well done to all involved. @brakecharity.bsky.social @therstrust.bsky.social www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/2518369...
