Nigel Farage faced a furious backlash from MPs during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday after repeating a right-wing conspiracy theory about “two-tier policing” in the UK. The Reform UK leader claimed that the justice system favours certain political groups while releasing serious criminals to make room for social media offenders and rioters.
Farage’s remarks triggered immediate anger, with MPs shouting “shame” and drowning out the rest of his question. The Commons chamber erupted after Farage suggested the government was enabling biased policing, a narrative popular among far-right circles following anti-immigration riots in August.
Farage has faced mounting criticism for amplifying conspiracy theories, with polls indicating that over half of the public blame him for stoking political unrest. His latest comments have only deepened divisions in the House of Commons, as MPs push back against what many see as inflammatory and baseless rhetoric.
