Davey: Farage is the "Enoch Powell of the social media age”
Responding to Nigel Farage’s Substack essay, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said:
“Nigel Farage has turned into the Enoch Powell of the social media age.
“He’s trying to excuse racist disorder and violence against police officers. He’s pushing the politics of grievance and division that goes totally against our fundamental British values of tolerance and decency.
“Farage is desperate to turn our United Kingdom into his version of Trump’s America. We can’t let him.”
