DOVER, England – After a week of taking flak over a renewed Russia hoax, Brexit leader Nigel Farage returned fired upon the political class, with Ukraine-firster Boris Johnson bearing the brunt of his rhetoric at a packed rally in Maidstone, Kent, in the South-East of England.
Farage unveiled a giant poster board showing a newspaper headline from 2016, when Johnson, who went on to be Prime Minister, blamed the European Union for the crisis with Russia and Ukraine. In recent days, however, Johnson has claimed that Farage is a “Putin apologist” for saying the very same thing.
It was a powerful moment given how much the political class has been ratcheting up the stakes against Farage and his Reform Party, desperate to stave off an historic swing in favor of the man Donald Trump calls “Mr. Brexit.”
“This man will go down as the worst prime minister of modern times,” Farage said of Johnson. “A man who betrayed an 80-seat majority. Who opened the door to mass immigration? Boris Johnson. Who betrayed the will of Brexit voters? It was Boris Johnson. He pretended to be a Conservative, but he governed as a Green.”
It’s a smart fight to pick in return, with Boris having backed off an original pledge to re-enter the Conservative Party’s day-to-day campaign schedule and a man who remains a quandary to most right-leaning voters. Once regarded as a potential Faragist Prime Minister, Johnson quickly sold the country out on the orders of his globalist wife Carrie Symonds, who previously worked for the Clinton Initiative. He was ousted after plunging Britain into multiple pandemic lockdowns, breaking his own COVID rules, and lavishly spending on expensive decor for his house on the taxpayer dime.
Meanwhile, the rest of the political establishment continues to peddle Zelensky’s talking points as if they were campaigning for Prime Minister of Ukraine rather than the United Kingdom. The fact that this election seems to be hinging on this issue seems all-at-once bizarre, predictable, pathetic, and a perfect opportunity for Farage to further distinguish himself from the career political class.
