Nigel Farage under fire for ‘cuddling up to the Kremlin’ as IFS accuses Reform of poisoning election debate

Nigel Farage has come under fire for “cuddling up to the Kremlin” as a leading think tank accused his Reform party of poisoning the election debate.

On another torrid day for the ex-Ukip leader, military experts queued up to criticize his claim that the West provoked Russia’s war on Ukraine.

It follows days of condemnation both nationally and internationally over Mr Farage’s comments, which he made in a BBC interview on Friday night.
