Labour chair Anna Turley: “Days after Farage’s right-hand-man in Wales was jailed for pocketing pro-Russian bribes, Reform just can’t stop themselves from pandering to Moscow. The public can have no confidence that Nigel Farage’s party doesn't now pose a real threat to Britain’s national security."

Anna Turley MP, Chair of the Labour Party: "Nigel Farage called Vladimir Putin the leader he most admired and has repeatedly parroted Kremlin talking points. It's astonishing that Reform’s top team continues to peddle the Russian narrative on its barbaric invasion of Ukraine."
