00:00It's not just the Prime Minister who accused him of being racist falsely.

00:03It was 11 Cabinet Ministers on pretty much the same day who called him racist.

00:07The Home Secretary came out and went one up on that, said that he's worse than racist.

00:12The Deputy Prime Minister accused Nigel of, quote, flirting with the Hitler youth, flirting with Nazism.

00:19The Prime Minister in his speech said that his supporters need to prepare for, quote, battle with, quote, the enemy.

00:25This is disgusting language. And I also want to share this information this morning.

00:30I thought really hard about whether I should share this because obviously it's sensitive.

00:35But this comes two weeks after the authorities cut the size of Nigel Farage's security detail by 75 percent.

00:41Now, I want to reassure reform supporters and frankly all right thinking people in this country who believe in sensible democratic politics,

00:48that thankfully donors have stepped in and shored up that security.

00:51So Nigel is well protected and he is safe.

00:53But it also comes two weeks after the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk,

00:59the most high profile political assassination in recent memory.

01:03The Prime Minister knows exactly what he's doing.

01:06He knows he cannot beat Nigel at the ballot box.

01:08All of the polls show that.

01:10So he's resorted to the most despicable incitement of violence campaign to try to shore up his own skin.
