After spending two weeks criticizing Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives, Farage will claim to be the real opposition with a brutal takedown of the Labor Party’s record in running the Welsh government.

He will say: “Schools are worse than EnglandNHS waiting lists are longer than in England, Covid restrictions have been even stricter than in England and now Welsh drivers are being drenched by literally hundreds of speed cameras to enforce the new general speed limit deeply unpopular 20 mph in cities and towns.

“Since devolution, the Welsh have been ignored by the London political establishment and let down by the Labor administration they elected.

“Meanwhile, the Tories have been the official opposition almost solidly since 2016 and have achieved nothing, which probably explains why we are neck and neck with them in the polls in Wales.”

He will add: “So if you want to get an idea of ​​what the whole country will be like with a Starmer government and a weak Tory opposition, come to Wales and listen to us reveal a better government. future for the whole of Great Britain.”

Yesterday, senior Tories continued to put pressure on Farage, who is eating up their vote and risking the Tories being annihilated on July 4th.

David Davis warned: “Farage is trying to destroy the Conservative Party. That is his explicit goal.”

And rejecting the idea of ​​Farage joining the Conservatives, he told Times Radio: “When someone tries to burn down the golf club, you don’t offer them membership, do you?”

But he also appeared to criticize Rishi Sunak’s decision to hold a general election in July, suggesting it would have been “easier in November”.

And former Cabinet minister Robert Jenrick accused Reform chairman Richard Tice of being a Labor Party “sleeper agent”.

He warned that Tice’s “political legacy” would be “a Labor supermajority that delivers precisely the opposite of everything he claims to stand for – higher taxes and higher immigration.”

Jenrick added: “Not only do I understand the frustrations of reform voters, I share them.

“But a vote for Reform can only deliver a one-party Labor state that increases taxes and immigration.”
