Nigel Farage Claims Reform UK Poised to Govern After Rayner Resignation

Nigel Farage, speaking at the Reform UK conference in Birmingham, capitalized on the turmoil within the Labour Party following Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary Angela Rayner's resignation over underpaid stamp duty on a second home. Farage criticized the Labour government as being in deep crisis and labeled its cabinet as unqualified, asserting that the party embodies entitlement worse than previous administrations. He predicted a significant fracture within Labour, anticipating a rise of a more extreme left-wing faction inspired by Jeremy Corbyn, and expressed confidence that Reform UK is poised to form the next government, with a general election possible in 2027. Farage also introduced former Conservative MP Nadine Dorries as a new member of Reform UK and emphasized his party's commitment to stopping migrant crossings and deporting foreign criminals. The resignation has intensified political instability, with Farage portraying Reform UK as the last chance to restore stability and security in Britain. These developments have invigorated Reform UK's anti-immigration and housing policies, drawing significant public and media attention.
