Farage Rallies in Brexit Stronghold, Demanding ‘Net Zero Migration.’

Brexit leader Nigel Farage kicked off his surprise political campaign by demanding “zero net migration,” a move that aims to cannibalize the governing Conservative Party’s vote. Immigration remains one of the hottest topics in British politics, with over one million visas issued in the United Kingdom just last year.

The comments were made in Clacton, where Farage seeks a parliamentary seat. Clacton voted in a UK Independence Party (UKIP) Member of Parliament in 2015, though a Conservative Party MP currently represents it.

Zero net migration would entail balancing the number of annual immigrants against the expected number of emigrants—508,000 people in the year to June 2023, of whom 93,000 were British nationals. The policy completely outflanks the Conservatives, who attempted to burnish their poor anti-mass migration credentials by announcing an unspecified, annually changing cap on total visas the same day.

“We cannot go on as we are. We have to limit numbers. Our lives, our quality of life in this country, is being diminished by the population explosion, and if that means that in some sectors there would be shortages, what that then means is that wages would go up, and we’d start to encourage people to learn skills rather than heading off to university and doing social sciences,” Farage told the BBC.


‘RADICAL SURGERY.’

“We need radical surgery in this country; we need braver politicians to stand up for us and represent us, and if you help me, as you promised you would, we will, on July the 4th, win this seat,” Farage told supporters at the rally, urging them to “send me to Parliament to be a bloody nuisance” to the political establishment, earning sustained cheers.

After the rally, he was assaulted by an OnlyFans prostitute who threw a milkshake in his face. Victoria Thomas-Bowen, 25, was arrested at the scene. Farage later posted a picture of himself in good spirits with his own milkshake, joking, “My milkshake brings all the people to the rally.”

WATCH: Kassam Explains Impact Of Farage’s Run For Parliament.

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, broke down the implications of Nigel Farage’s return to British politics and his decision to run for Parliament during an appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show. On Monday, Farage announced he’d stand in the upcoming UK general election as the leader of the Reform UK Party, founded on the back of the Brexit Party. Farage, a populist firebrand, reversed course after stating a week ago that he would not stand for a parliamentary seat, citing a lack of time before the July 4th election.

“It means Nigel Farage is back, back from his number one-rated television show — nightly show — in the United Kingdom,” Kassam said when Kirk asked what Farage’s announcement means for the UK election. He continued: “It means he will run for a seat in Parliament. It means he will be the leader of the Reform Party, which is the successor to the Brexit Party.”

REFORM UK LEADER.

Addressing Reform UK, founded in 2018, Kassam explained that the party has supplanted the Conservatives as the politically conservative party. “It is kind of the Conservative Party, the soft-left Conservative Party’s worst nightmare,” he said, adding: “Because it means [Farage] is effectively now the leader of the opposition for anybody who actually considers themselves a populist, a nationalist, a conservative… anybody who doesn’t want an avowed, self-declared socialist in charge of the country.”

FUTURE PRIME MINISTER?

Kassam continued, telling Kirk that while Labour is poised to win control of Parliament in the July election, “It really sets Nigel up to level up from being a kind of protest vote back in 2015 and 2016 to being the leader of the most effective opposition party in British politics.” Pressed by Kirk if that means Nigel Farage could one day be Prime Minister of the UK, The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief replied: “It absolutely does.”

BREAKTHROUGH: Pollster Reveals Farage’s Party WOULD Win Seats, Just 24 Hours After Historic Re-Entry into Frontline Politics.

Britain’s far-left Labour Party is on track to secure a historic majority in the upcoming general election, according to the latest MRP analysis conducted by pollster Survation. If the UK election were held today, Labour would achieve an unprecedented majority of 324 seats, the largest in modern British politics. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK would take just three seats, and the governing Conservative Party would be reduced to a humiliating 71.

The analysis is based on interviews with 30,044 respondents, collected both online and via telephone from May 22 to June 2, 2024.

Labour is projected to dominate with 487 seats in total. The Liberal Democrat Party and the Scottish National Party are forecasted to win 43 and 26 seats, respectively. While Reform’s share seems low in comparison, it is a brand-new party without any current stronghold of support. In fact, this result represents the first time a pollster even has the party any winning seats.

In a notable shift, the Liberal Democrats are competitive in several Conservative strongholds, including Chesham and Amersham, and could make gains in Scotland. The Green Party, although not projected to win seats, could secure significant vote shares in Brighton Pavilion and Bristol Central.

While the SNP remains the largest party in Scotland with an estimated 26 seats, it faces a strong challenge from a resurgent Labour Party, which is leading in 24 Scottish seats. The Liberal Democrats and Conservatives are also leading in four and three Scottish seats, respectively.

The Conservative Party faces an immense challenge, trailing Labour by 21 points in national polling. If this deficit persists, it could result in the party’s worst defeat in its history. Tactical voting could prove pivotal in key seats like Maidenhead, where the Conservatives hold a slim lead over both Labour and the Liberal Democrats.

Girl Who ‘Milkshaked’ Nigel Farage is a Far-Left OnlyFans Whore… Obviously.

The woman who assaulted Reform UK Party leader Nigel Farage earlier on Tuesday has been identified as a 25-year-old OnlyFans model. Victoria Thomas-Bowen, who sells adult content on the controversial, pornographic website, was arrested on the scene for the milkshake attack.

Thomas-Bowen, a supporter of former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, told reporters after the incident that Farage “doesn’t stand for me, he doesn’t represent anything I believe in, or any of the people around here.” When asked why she attacked the Reform UK leader, specifically with a banana milkshake, she said she “just felt like it.”

Meanwhile, the x-rated content creator‘s family, who describe themselves as Brexit supporters, expressed shock at Thomas-Bowen’s actions. In an interview with the Daily Mail, her brother Paul denounced his sister’s actions. “I have just seen it, and to be honest, I’m appalled,” her brother said. He added: “I don’t know where she is. I don’t want anything to do with her.”

A review of Thomas-Bowen’s social media also suggests a concerning lack of maturity. Like many x-rated models on OnlyFans, she aggressively promotes an Amazon.com wishlist and encourages her fans to purchase gifts for her from it. Among the items listed are a £4.99 gel-gloss nail polish, variously flavored vodkas, a £21.25 bottle of pomegranate-scented tanning lotion, sexually suggestive lingerie, and a LOVENSE remote-controlled vibrator.

The National Pulse reported earlier today that following the assault, Farage posted a short video of himself in good spirits, toasting viewers with the message, “My milkshake brings all the people to the rally.”

DATA: Farage Now Favorite to Replace Rishi Sunak as Conservative Party Leader.

Nigel Farage, who has reversed his decision to skip the July 4 elections in Britain and returned as leader of Reform UK, formerly the Brexit Party, is now Conservative voters’ top choice to replace Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as Conservative leader. Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, favored to win the upcoming elections, also faces internal divisions.

Polls show 17 percent of Conservative voters want Farage to lead the Conservatives, who are expected to lose to the left-wing Labour Party by a landslide on election day. This puts him ahead of progressive globalist Cabinet member Penny Mordaunt, at 14 percent, and far ahead of former leader David Cameron, at eight percent. Suella Braverman, the migration-skeptic former Home Secretary, brings up the rear at seven percent.

‘NET MIGRATION AT ZERO.’

Reform UK was polling in third place even before Farage announced his return as leader and his decision to stand for Parliament. He is already outflanking the Conservatives from the right, pledging zero net immigration.

“We cannot go on as we are. We have to limit numbers. Our lives, our quality of life in this country, is being diminished by the population explosion, and if that means that in some sectors there would be shortages, what that then means is that wages would go up, and we’d start to encourage people to learn skills rather than heading off to university and doing social sciences,” he told the BBC.

The Conservatives, who have presided over record-breaking legal and illegal immigration, are also trying to run on reducing immigration but have pledged only an unspecified, annually-changing cap on visas, informed by pro-migration technocrats.

LABOUR STRIFE. 

The Labour Party, though expected to win the election comfortably after 14 years in opposition, is facing its own internal difficulties.

Like the U.S. Democratic Party, a substantial portion of Labour’s activist and supporter base is far further to the left on Gaza and race politics than the official positions of party leader Sir Keir Starmer. Seven local politicians, all Muslims, have resigned en masse over Sir Keir’s alleged mistreatment of parliamentary candidates Faiza Shaheen and Diane Abbott and insufficient support for “speaking out against injustices in Gaza and criticising Israel.”

Such disquiet threatens Labour in areas with a substantial Muslim population. George Galloway and his Workers Party defeated Labour in a by-election (special election) in the grooming gangs hotspot of Rochdale earlier this year by mobilizing the Muslim and radical left vote on Gaza.

BREAKING: Nigel Farage Assaulted on First Day of Campaign.

A presumed far-left agitator assaulted the new Reform Party leader, Nigel Farage, during his first day back campaigning on the front lines of British politics. Farage was in the town of Clacton, where he intended to file paperwork to stand for Member of Parliament, his eighth attempt at the position.

Farage was targeted as he left the Moon and Starfish pub, where he had been speaking to reporters about his electoral platform.

“We need radical surgery in this country; we need braver politicians to stand up for us and represent us, and if you help me, as you promised you would, we will, on July the 4th, win this seat,” Farage told supporters at a successful rally prior to the pub visit, urging them to “send me to Parliament to be a bloody nuisance” to the political establishment.

Following the incident outside the pub, he posted a short video of himself in good spirits, toasting viewers with the message, “My milkshake brings all the people to the rally.”

Local police have confirmed a woman was arrested following the incident.

Brexit Leader Farage ‘Changes Mind,’ Will Stand for Parliament.

Brexit leader Nigel Farage has announced he will take over from Reform UK Party leader Richard Tice in an attempt to further his organization’s electoral chances at the impending UK general election. The long-standing populist leader will also stand for a seat in the British Parliament in Clacton, an area known for its propensity to choose patriotic voices as its representatives.

A week ago, Farage said he would not stand for a parliamentary seat, citing a lack of time before the July 4th election.

The Reform Party, founded on the back of the Brexit Party, is currently polling at around 14 percent, though it is unclear as to whether or not this would lead to any actual seats in the British Parliament, given how thinly spread their support is. This echoes the result of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) in 2015.

Farage Stands by Trump After Sham Conviction: ‘The World Will Be a Much Safer Place with Him in the White House.’

Brexit leader Nigel Farage is sticking by his decision to forgo standing in the British election on July 4 in favor of campaigning for Donald Trump, despite the former President’s sham conviction in Manhattan.

“Yes, of course I’m going to stand up and defend Donald Trump,” Farage told British media when asked if he has any regrets. “And I’ll tell you why, because I believe the world, uncertain as it is, will be a much safer place with him in the White House than Joe Biden,” he explained, citing the former president’s record of negotiating peace and trade accords between Arab states and Israel, in particular.

Reacting to Trump’s conviction directly on X, formerly Twitter, Farage wrote that the “verdict is a disgrace” and predicted Trump would “win big” as a result.

Earlier this month, Farage said a “strong America as a close ally is vital for [Britain’s] peace and security” and pledged to “help with the grassroots campaign in the USA in any way I can.”

He campaigned for Trump during the 2016 election. The then-future president, in turn, backed Brexit ahead of Britain’s prior European Union referendum and hosted Farage, National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam, and other Brexit leaders at Trump Tower after he became President-elect.

Emergency Ban on Puberty Blockers for ‘Trans’ Minors Imposed.

The UK Department of Health and Social Care has implemented an emergency ban on prescribing and supplying puberty blockers to ‘transgender-identifying’ children. The new legislation targets a loophole that permitted access to these drugs through private clinics despite a ban on their use by the National Health Service (NHS). The regulation will take effect from June 3 to September 3.

“During this period, no new patients under 18 will be prescribed these medicines for the purposes of puberty suppression in those experiencing gender dysphoria or incongruence under the care of these prescribers,” states the regulation. Nevertheless, patients already on these drugs prescribed by a UK prescriber can continue their use.

The emergency measure follows revised NHS clinical guidelines issued in March. These guidelines advised against providing puberty blockers to children due to insufficient evidence of their safety. The guidelines were informed by the findings of the Cass Review into gender identity services, led by Dr. Hilary Cass. The review concluded that current clinical practices involving hormone treatments for minors were founded on insufficient evidence and lacked demonstrable safety and efficacy.

This legislative action reflects growing international caution concerning irreversible medical procedures and treatments for children who identify as transgender. Despite these growing concerns, however, the United States still advocates the prescription of harmful puberty blockers to children, a position recently condemned by liberal broadcaster Bill Maher.

“Most of the countries in Europe now — England, the Scandinavian countries… they’ve all reversed themselves on this. They don’t do the puberty blockers anymore, they don’t do this stuff,” Maher continued. “America is just doubling down on this stuff, so we are the outlier country on this stuff.”

Hey, Rural White Men! Apparently Climate Change is Your Fault, Now.

A new study by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) claims that well-off, rural white men are the primary contributors to climate change. The IPPR, which describes itself as “working towards a fairer, greener, and more prosperous society,” also points to the super-rich as significant culprits.

The study highlights that individuals with an annual income exceeding £100,000 travel twice the distance annually compared to those earning less than £30,000. According to their findings, men are more likely to be higher carbon emitters than women, while non-whites typically travel less and apparently emit fewer pollutants.

Further, the research showed that 35 to 64-year-olds are the largest emitters, while residents of Britain’s most deprived areas contribute fewer emissions due to reduced travel. The study’s authors also asserted that rural residents are more polluting, attributed to their limited access to public transport compared to urban dwellers.

Dr. Maya Singer Hobbs, a senior research fellow at IPPR, commented, “Our transport system both reflects and contributes to social inequalities. Reducing emissions can actually tackle some of that injustice if done fairly.” Fairly, according to the researchers, is to double down on harmful ‘Net Zero’ policies. “Now is not the time to slow down our efforts to reach Net Zero – doing so just fuels existing transport inequalities,” said researcher Stephen Frost.

The study coincides with critiques of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer‘s proposed plan to reach Net Zero by 2030, which analysis by Aurora Energy Research suggests will require an additional £116 billion investment. Aurora’s findings, commissioned by the Policy Exchange think tank, labeled Labour’s goal as “simply not feasible.” The types of extremist “green” policies advocated by the study’s authors have led to widespread protests in Europe.
