- Stella Creasy, a Labour MP, criticised Mr Farage's comments as part of a "Trumpian playbook", suggesting a coordinated effort to restrict abortion access through seemingly reasonable measures.
- Tonia Antoniazzi, another Labour MP, is campaigning for an amendment to decriminalise abortion, arguing that "no woman should have Nigel Farage dictating their reproductive rights".
