Farage: Mass migration has made England unrecognizable
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said mass migration has changed England 'completely unrecognizably,' especially in cities. Farage argued that the political system has completely collapsed, calling for an early general election.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, argued that mass migration has fundamentally changed the country's structure. Farage claimed that the political system in England has 'completely collapsed' following the resignation of Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Speaking at the Responsible Citizenship Alliance conference held in London this week, Farage said Starmer's downfall was not an isolated political event but the last aftershock of the Brexit revolt that shook British politics a decade ago.
'Just yesterday, ten years ago, we had a political earthquake in England. It was called Brexit,' Farage said. 'And the two old parties never fully adapted to it.'
Starmer's resignation and local elections
Starmer announced his resignation on Monday, paving the way for England's seventh leader in a decade. Farage said Starmer's defeat was sealed earlier this year in local elections when Reform UK made major gains in former Labour Party strongholds.
Farage said these voters were the same people who strengthened Brexit and that immigration remains at the center of their anger. 'They were all Brexit voters,' Farage said. 'Starmer wants to bring us closer to the EU. But one of the reasons we voted for Brexit was immigration and border controls. So the votes definitely hurt him.'
Warning of a sixth prime minister
Farage made one of his harshest assessments of the political system, saying that if Andy Burnham becomes prime minister, England will see its sixth prime minister in seven years. He argued that if Burnham enters Downing Street through a Labour Party leadership contest rather than a national election, he will lack public support.
'I don't even know what his policies are. I really don't know,' Farage said. 'For all these reasons, there should be a general election and a new mandate. And I think Reform has a high chance of winning.'
Message to the US and traditional values
Farage described the political turmoil in England as a broader Western crisis over borders, national identity and traditional values. He warned the US to avoid the mistakes he said England has made on diversity policies, policing, justice and immigration.
'Mass migration has changed this country completely unrecognizably, especially in many of our cities,' Farage said. 'We haven't been selective about who can come to the country. This is an important contributing factor.'
Farage said: 'The pendulum has swung so far toward DEI that we have undoubtedly ended up with two-tier policing and two-tier justice in this country. My message to Americans is that political change is coming. All this nonsense will be reversed.'
US relations and Brexit emphasis
Speaking on US relations, Farage said he believes England should approach the US, especially on trade and financial services. Noting that his entire adult life has been intertwined with the US, Farage emphasized that the two countries remain connected by investment, language and culture.
Farage also rejected any serious attempt to take England back into the European Union. 'The price of returning to Europe would be giving up the currency and paying a large membership fee every year,' Farage said. 'There is no demand for this except among those stuck in the Westminster bubble and obsessed with it.'
As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Farage described the American Revolution as the precursor to the Brexit movement he championed. 'America was the first Brexit,' Farage said. 'You went out on your own, the first Brexit, and became the most successful country in the world.'
