Brexit leader Nigel Farage’s Labour Party rival in the constituency (electoral district) of Clacton describes “white man tears” as his “favorite drink.” Jovan Owusu-Nepaul, whose party is expected to win Britain’s July 4 snap election in a landslide, made the remarks on Twitter, now X, in response to a U.S. student who said he “drink[s] white man tears on a regular basis.”
During the launch of his party’s manifesto, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer referred to the Clacton race as a “pantomime.” In response, Farage retorted, “If Starmer thinks the Clacton race is a joke, maybe he should look closer to home at his own candidate.”
Clacton, located in the Essex region east of London, is 93 percent White British. Sir Keir’s constituency, in the heart of London, is just 36.8 percent White British.
With Britain’s governing Conservative Party now behind Farage’s Reform Party in national polls, Farage is pitching his outfit as the real opposition to Labour. “This is the inflection point. The only wasted vote now is a Conservative vote. We are the challengers to Labour,” Farage stressed, emphasizing the fact that the Conservatives are behind Reform everywhere except Scotland.
