Nigel Farage favourability, January 2026

The trend is downwards, and this is his lowest score since April 2025.

We don't always win - but I think this case is the first we've lost since mid-2024?
They might not always win but bloody hell I‘m glad that @goodlawproject.org exist and keep doing the right thing.
We (GLP) will, I promise, try and address that question in a blog early next week. It's a complex judgment in a complex area and comms-ing it is, well, complex. But we will address this early in our second wave of communications. /F

Anti-trans campaigners will try to spin the High Court’s decision into an absolute victory.

But that’s far from the truth – the findings in this case will require the EHRC’s code of practice to be rewritten.

Zahawi agrees with Ratcliffe. He arrived in the UK in 1978 when the opposition leader Thatcher warned “people are really.. afraid that this country might be rather swamped by people with a different culture”. They didn’t want ‘coloured’ people here. But his family’s right as refugees allowed it.

We're getting some questions about what the decision means for people who are intersex. One of our claimants was intersex and after FWS their employer asked them to start using different toilets. The short answer is, it doesn't mean anything because the decision doesn't address their position. /1

UK politics & the language used is now defined by far-right, dehumanising & racist terminology. Farage now defends Ratcliffe's "colonisation" comments; while no surprise that a self-selecting poll of Sun readers shows their support: racists supporting racist comments.

You can't hold the moral high ground if you act or speak in the same horrible way as those you criticise for acting and speaking horribly. Sauce for the goose.

🤔You want your government to be popular?

💡Why not try doing something that's popular with the public.

Most of us want to see public ownership across a range of public services.

It was true at the last general election. It's true now.

Media coverage of the far right in the UK:

- (euphemism) party accused of saying something deeply racist/misogynistic/transphobic

- unmistakably deeply racist/misogynistic/transphobic quote

- asks party whether it is

- party says of course not, it's free speech and the left is mean

Asked if Ratcliffe was right to apologise for his racist statement about Britain having been “colonised” by immigrants, Farage replies,
'It’s probably in the dictionary definition correct, but perhaps people aren't quite ready for it’

No. It’s not, Nigel. It’s just racist. And wrong. Much like you.
