Brian Cox Launches Outspoken On-Air Attack On 'Venal And Selfish' Nigel Farage

Brian Cox on Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg.Brian Cox has branded Nigel Farage “venal and selfish” as he launched an outspoken attack on the Reform UK leader.The Succession star said Farage was “quite uninformed” and “a bit of a bully” after watching him being interviewed on the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg.Cox’s tirade came after Reform’s two-day conference in Birmingham, which was marked by a series of U-turns by Farage on deporting women and how he plans to stop small boats crossing the Channel.Cox said: “I find him very venal, quite honestly, as an individual. He’s selfish and he’s on the whole quite uninformed.“I am just dazzled at the way a lot of people have been seduced by him, because he’s a bit of a bully.“I just don’t trust the man, and also now there’s never been a more positive time that we need to be in Europe. We need to be Europe again because of what’s happening in the Ukraine. If we don’t recognise that now, we’re lost.”Brian Cox: "I find Nigel Farage very venal... he's selfish & on the hole he's quite uninformed... I just don't trust the man... there's never been a more positive time that we need to be in Europe..."#bbclaurakpic.twitter.com/XKsBkpMVxY— Haggis_UK 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 (@Haggis_UK) September 7, 2025Reform continue to hold a comfortable opinion poll lead over Labour and the Conservatives, with party officials increasingly confident that Farage will be the next prime minister.However, their conference was marked by some bizarre moments, including a doctor claiming from the main stage that the Covid vaccine had given the Royal Family cancer.Lucy Connolly, the Tory councillor’s wife jailed after admitting inciting racial hatred, was also hailed as “Britain’s favourite political prisoner” as she was introduced to the audience.Farage also clashed with Beth Rigby of Sky News after admitting he “misspoke” when he claimed last year to have bought a house in his Clacton constituency.He said the property had actually been bought by his partner, meaning she was liable for stamp duty instead of him.Related...'How Dare You': Farage Clashes With Beth Rigby After Admitting He Didn't Buy Clacton Home After AllNigel Farage In Fresh U-Turn As He Vows To Deport Women To The TalibanFarage Branded 'Putin-Loving Trump Wannabe' By US Politician In Brutal Slapdown
