Farage has all the ingredients to stoke another summer of discontent

Nigel Farage has been busy.

At the start of June, he called on the people of the UK to show “pure, cold rage” in response to the murder of Henry Nowak by Vickrum Digwa, days before violent riots in Glasgow saw people’s homes and cars set on fire. On Monday 15 June, he published a 5,800-word essay on Substack entitled, ‘Britain is a two tier state - against white people.’

In this clip from In The Room, Helen MacNamara and Cleo Watson discuss how Farage is weaponising another ‘summer of discontent’ for his own political gain.

New episodes of In The Room drop every week. You can listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or watch on YouTube.
