UK moving to ‘sectarian politics’ with women excluded from inner cities, says Farage

President of Reform UK rejected accusations that comments made on Sunday were Islamophobic

Nigel Farage has said Britain is moving towards “sectarian politics with women completely excluded” in inner cities and towns, as he called for rising levels of Channel crossings to be declared a “national security emergency”.

Reform UK’s honorary president also defended comments he made on Sunday saying a growing number of Muslims do not share British values, and rejected accusations over the years that he had used antisemitic and Islamophobic dog whistles.
