Farage attacks on media are "Trumpian"

Responding to reports that Nigel Farage has accused journalists from The Herald of working with demonstrators to derail a press conference in Aberdeen, Liberal Democrat Scottish Affairs spokesperson and former journalist Christine Jardine MP said:

"Nigel Farage delivers more bull than a farm full of Aberdeen Angus.

"This attack on the media represents a descent into properly Trumpian behaviour from the Reform leader.

"Before you know it, he'll be banging on about building a wall and chanting "lock her up" to cover for his complete lack of actual solutions.

“There are a lot of people are frustrated that they have been let down by the SNP, Conservatives and Labour but it’s the Liberal Democrats who are offering real change, not Reform. Farage doesn't care about getting you swift access to a local GP or dentist. We do."
