Young people have had their minds “poisoned” with negative opinions about Britain, says Nigel Farage
The leader of Reform UK says he feels Britain is broken and that most crimes now go unreported.
Launching the Reform deal in Wales today, he told the audience that the UK is in “cultural decline”.
“We start to forget who we are, what our history is, what we stand for,” he said. “We have tolerated our children’s minds, from a young age through college, being frankly poisoned about what this country is and what it stands for.”

‘We’re not going to form the next government – but it’s the first step towards power’
Nigel Farage acknowledged that Reform UK would not form the government after the July 4 general election – but said it was the first step on the road to the next contest, which could be in 2029.
Speaking in Merthyr Tydfil at the launch of the party’s “contract with the people”, he said: “We are not pretending that we are going to win this general election, we are a very, very new political party.”
He added: “This is not something we are going to govern the country with. That is not possible in these elections.
“Although this election is for our party, and for me, the first important step on the road to 2029.
“Our ambition is to build a bridge in Parliament and become a true opposition to a Labor government.”
He said the Conservatives would not be able to offer opposition because “they spend most of their days arguing amongst themselves and are split down the middle when it comes to politics”.
