Nicola Sturgeon has said she stands by calling Nigel Farage “odious” in her forthcoming memoir. The former Scottish First Minister told ITV News he appeared to have a fragile ego and was uncomfortable around women. She recalled overhearing him boast in the 2015 leaders’ debate green room about his drinking, which she described as unpleasant bravado. Report by Covellm.

Anti-immigration protesters and pro-migrant groups clashed in London and Manchester, with police making multiple arrests amid rising tensions. Demonstrators outside a London hotel housing asylum seekers faced counter-protesters carrying messages of solidarity such as “You are valued, wanted, and welcome.” Far-right groups including Patriots of Britain and Britain First rallied against migrant accommodation, while anti-racism activists, joined by political figures like Jeremy Corbyn, outnumbered them. Police reported breaches of Public Order conditions, scuffles, and arrests, as the immigration debate intensifies and Nigel Farage’s rhetoric draws renewed scrutiny.
