Nigel Farage Accused Of Supporting Andrew Tate In New Labour Attack Ad

Andrew TateNigel Farage has been accused of being a supporter of controversial online influencer Andrew Tate in a new Labour attack ad.It comes just weeks after a cabinet minister compared the Reform UK leader to Jimmy Savile and is a further a sign of the government’s concern at his party’s popularity.The attack ad, being launched on Sunday, refers to comments Farage made on the ‘Strike It Big’ podcast last year.He told the hosts, who are three male influencers in their 20s, that Tate was “an important voice” for many young men.Farage said: “You three guys, you are all 25, you are all kind of being told you can’t be blokes, you can’t do laddish, fun, bloke things … that masculinity is something we should look down upon, something we should frown upon. It’s like the men are becoming feminine and the women are becoming masculine and it’s a bit difficult to tell these days who’s what.“And Tate fed into that by saying, ‘Hang on, what’s wrong with being a bloke? What’s wrong in male culture? What’s wrong in male humour?’ He fed into those things. His was a campaign of raising awareness. His was a campaign of giving people, perhaps, a bit of confidence at school or whatever it was to speak up.”In May, Tate was charged by the Crown Prosecution Service with 11 alleged offences, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking. He denies any wrongdoing.Tate, who has more than 10 million followers on X, has in the past described himself as a “misogynist” and “sexist”.The Labour attack ad, which will run on social media, features a picture of Farage and Tate together under a Guardian headline which states: “Nigel Farage says Andrew Tate is ‘an important voice’ for men.”A BBC headline in the ad says: “Andrew Tate says women should ‘bear responsibility’ for being sexually assaulted.”Last year, Farage admitted amplifying false claims made by Tate in the wake of the Southport murders.Labour's attack adA separate ad posted by Labour on X on Sunday also attacks Farage for opposing the Online Safety Act, accusing him of wanting to “make it easier to share revenge porn online”.Nigel Farage would put women and girls at risk. pic.twitter.com/rBjMsYpyaO— The Labour Party (@UKLabour) August 17, 2025Last month, science and technology secretary Peter Kyle sparked fury by claiming Farage’s stance put him on the same side as Savile, one of the UK’s most prolific sex offenders.Labour chair Ellie Reeves said: “Nigel Farage’s promise to tear up protections against online radicalisation by extreme misogynistic influencers is a dangerous sign of where Reform want to take Britain. It shows nothing but neglect for the next generation and will only serve to increase violence against women and girls.“Young men are increasingly vulnerable to being radicalised into extreme misogyny online, which leads to real-world violence against women and girls when phones are put down and laptops shut. Tech firms must be held to account for algorithms that lead boys and young men to harmful and potentially illegal content online. It’s shameful that Farage doesn’t agree.”But Reform UK councillor Laila Cunningham said: “Women are more unsafe than ever before thanks to Labour. Starmer has released thousands of criminals back on to the streets early with no regard for women’s safety.“I am calling on Jess Phillips to debate me on women’s safety - she ignored the grooming gangs scandal and now she’s wilfully deceiving voters on this issue.“Reform will always prioritise prosecuting abuse but will never let women’s safety be hijacked to justify censorship.“You don’t protect women by silencing speech. You protect them by securing borders, enforcing the law, and locking up actual criminals, and that is exactly what a Reform government would do.”Related...Farage Wants Reform Peers In The House Of Lords.
