Nigel Farage Gets Schooled By Keir Starmer As He Tries To Stir The Brexit Pot

Starmer and Farage in PMQs.Nigel Farage tried to exploit the government’s failure so far to “smash the gangs” sending thousands of asylum seekers across the Channel in small boats – and ended up getting schooled by Keir Starmer.The Reform UK leader harked back to the Brexit vote in 2016, saying the country chose to leave the EU because “we wanted to take back control of our borders so that we and we alone could decide who comes and settles in our country”.Farage went on the attack at prime minister’s questions as Starmer prepares to hold crunch talks in Downing Street with French president Emmanuel Macron about how to solve the small boats crisis.“Does the prime minister understand that that demand today is even greater than it was back in 2016, and that we demand that you say the the French president we will not accept undocumented males across the English Channel and that you are not dictated to by an increasingly arrogant, anti-Brexit French president,” Farage asked.The PM said the government was committed to “working with other countries to ensure that we take the measures necessary to stop people crossing the Channel” – and contrasted that approach with that of the Reform leader.“His proposal for 10 years wagging the Tory dog has been to break everything and claim that’s how you fix things, to stick two fingers up at your neighbours and then expect them to work with us,” Starmer said.He then attacked Farage for voting against the government’s Borders Bill, which he said “gives more powers to our law enforcement to deal with security at our borders”.The PM added: “The reason for that is he has no interest in fixing the problem because he wants to milk it and exploit it. That’s the truth about him and his party.”Farage only gets chosen to ask Starmer a question once every few weeks. He’d be advised to spend more time preparing for his next one if he’s to avoid being swatted away so easily by the PM again.Related...Farage Urged To 'Come Clean About What He Knew' After Reform MP Quits PartyReform UK Accuse Macron Of 'Outrageous And Deliberate Snub' For Not Meeting Nigel FarageKemi Badenoch Brands Nigel Farage 'A Bulls*****r' In Foul-Mouthed Rant
