Farage accused of peddling 'nonsense and lies' - as he predicts 'the new Brexit'
Saturday, 19 April 2025 Ed Miliband has accused Nigel Farage of peddling "nonsense and lies" about the government's commitment to net zero, as the Reform UK leader said the issue could become the "new Brexit".
Nigel Farage says Reform UK "very much enjoyed" Sir Keir Starmer's remarks on immigration and an 'island of migrants', which critics have likened to Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood' speech in 1968. Reform's party leader urges the prime minister to declare the situation in the English Channel as a national security emergency. Starmer replies that the government's borders bill will allow law enforcement to take action "before crimes are committed", adding it is "extraordinary" that Farage "of all people, voted against it".

Mark Carney is set to become Canada’s next Prime Minister after a landmark Liberal victory over the Conservatives. Once an unelected leader appointed after winning the Liberal Party leadership in March 2025, Carney now holds a voter-backed mandate. The former Governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, Carney is renowned for steering economies through crisis—from the 2008 financial meltdown to Brexit. With growing tensions from the U.S., including threats from President Donald Trump over trade and sovereignty, Carney faces challenges aplenty. Watch now for a deep dive into how this economist-turned-politician secured power and what it means for Canada’s future.
