    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    LONDON — Nigel Farage told Andy Burnham to “bring it on” if he wants to fight a general election on rejoining the European Union. The Reform UK leader, a veteran Brexiteer, claimed in a speech on Thursday that the British prime minister has given him the “biggest boost in my career” by reopening the EU debate. Burnham used his first conference address as Labour leader this week to open up the possibility of Britain trying to rejoin the bloc it left after the 2016 referendum. Polling has suggeste

    LIVERPOOL, England — Nigel Farage will use a speech in a Brexit-backing Labour heartland to start the fightback after Andy Burnham reignited Britain’s EU debate. The Reform UK leader — a key architect of Brexit — will make a “major speech” in Doncaster on Thursday to rail against the Labour prime minister opening the door to a possible return to the bloc, a senior Reform official told POLITICO. Burnham used his first Labour conference as leader, in Liverpool on Tuesday, to snip three political l

    PIDDINGTON, England — Few would suspect this sedate village north of Oxford, population 350, is on the front line of Britain’s immigration battles. But the signs marking entry into the newly-established “principality” — fresh from a headline-grabbing vote to symbolically secede from the U.K. — tell a different story. A father and son visiting from the island of Jersey posed for pictures and brandished their passports as they crossed a white picket fence. They joked that they were immigrating her

    LONDON — Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is spoiling for a legal fight against Labour’s attempt to prevent record-shattering donations from reshaping British politics. The insurgent right-wing party plans to carry on spending the £72 million donated over the weekend by two crypto-billionaires — even as an incoming law threatens to make them impermissible. Labour MPs are bracing for Reform to launch an “Establishment is out to get us” court drama that plays into the narrative Farage has been shaping of

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    LONDON — Nigel Farage has always faced a battle to get Reform UK ready for the next general election. Labour’s nascent recovery under Andy Burnham is only increasing the urgency. The insurgent right-wing force has only about 100 star candidates considered ready to run as MPs — bar a final vet, two people aware of the process told POLITICO.
