Reporter: "Do you condemn Trump?"
UK MP Nigel Farage: "I think he was wrong. I think what he did was wrong. I don't think you should abandon your allies."
"By the way, I fully understand why Greenland is so strategically important..."
What Farage says is not important, because European public opinion is overwhelmingly against Trump. What matters is Nigel Farage's position and the party he leads.
Nigel Farage's Reform Party is shaking up the British political scene with overwhelming poll advantages. His personal political ambitions and the rise of the party have drawn global attention.
Establishing the status of the largest party in Britain: In December 2025, the Reform Party surpassed the Labour Party (with less than 250,000 members) with nearly 269,000 members, becoming the largest party in Britain. Farage declared that "the era of two-party politics is over," with current polling support near 30%, leading the Labour Party and Conservative Party by more than 10 percentage points.
Conservative Party elites defect en masse: In January 2026, seven MPs including former Conservative shadow minister Andrew Rosindell and former immigration minister Robert Jenrick defected to the Reform Party, criticizing the Conservative Party as "corrupt and ignoring public opinion." Farage called it a "pie in the sky" and accelerated the absorption of Conservative Party talents to enhance governing experience.
Local governance and national ambitions: The Reform Party now controls 10 out of 23 local governments, affecting more than 8 million residents.
Farage's views on immigration are identical to Trump's. He advocates strict control over immigration, pushing for "historic measures" to cut refugee benefits and extend the waiting period for permanent residency to 20 years.
Claiming that London (37% white), Birmingham (43%), and Manchester (49%) have become "white minority cities," questioning whether British identity has been changed by immigrants.
Condemning the net-zero policies of the Conservative and Labour parties that have raised energy prices, he advocates abolishing these targets, and local councils have already halted emission reduction plans.
Farage admires Putin, once calling him "the leader I most admire."
Neither the Labour Party nor the Conservative Party accepts Farage's political views, but his party has gained popular support.
This is important.
