Nigel Farage, the right-wing political figure and former I'm a Celebrity finalist, has criticized Rishi Sunak's Rwanda bill, calling it "an absolute cop out" and a "total joke." Farage has urged Tory MPs to vote against the bill, stating that the Prime Minister is "out of his depth" and expressing his hope that the plan will fail. He further emphasized that if he were a Tory MP who believed in keeping the election promises made in four successive General Elections, he would vote against his leader.
Conservative Party Heading for Electoral Catastrophe, Warns Farage
In a chilling warning to the government, Farage, who previously led UKIP and the Brexit Party, predicted that the Conservative Party is "heading for electoral catastrophe." He accused the party of letting down voters "like a cheap pair of braces." While he believes that Tory MPs will ultimately fall in line and support the deportation legislation, he described them as a "pretty spineless, useless Oxbridge bunch." Speaking to reporters after leaving the jungle, Farage expressed his hope that he is wrong.
Population Crisis and Disconnect Between Westminster and the Public
Farage called on politicians from all parties to address the chaos at Britain's borders and confront the population crisis that the country is facing. He argued that the UK cannot sustain nearly one million legal net migrations per year while expecting people to have access to healthcare and housing. Farage criticized both Labour and the Conservatives for failing to acknowledge this issue, stating that the quality of life for everyone is being diminished. He also highlighted a growing disconnect between Westminster and the public, particularly on the topic of immigration.
Potential Collaboration with Boris Johnson
Addressing recent reports suggesting a potential collaboration with Boris Johnson to save the Tory party from electoral doom, Farage joked about having 6,000 unread messages and said that if there is one from Boris, he will give him a call. While he did not dismiss the idea of a collaboration, Farage expressed skepticism about the feasibility of such a partnership before the next general election.
