Nigel Farage has delivered a devastating verdict on Sir Keir Starmer, saying the Prime Minister is either a “puppet” who genuinely didn’t know Lord Mandelson failed security vetting or a liar who deliberately misled Parliament and the country.
Farage Finds Starmer’s Explanation “Totally Incredible”
At a press conference in central London, the Reform UK leader said: “If you were Prime Minister and there were news reports last September that your ambassadorial choice had failed vetting, you would have thought perhaps he might have had some curiosity to try to find out whether this had really happened or not.”
“Either a Puppet or He Lied”
Mr Farage added: “I just find the whole thing incredible, totally incredible. There is no way that the Prime Minister couldn’t have known. You’re telling me that everyone around him knew and he didn’t know? Well it’s possible that he’s just a puppet and never consulted on anything, but frankly it isn’t believable.”
Starmer “Caught in a Terrible Trap”
Farage said Starmer was “so definitive” in his Hastings speech that all necessary checks had been done and vetting assured: “I think he’s caught in a terrible trap.”
- Farage: Starmer either a “puppet” or a liar
- September news reports on failed vetting ignored
- Hastings speech claimed “full due process”
- Reform UK demands Starmer’s resignation
Reform UK: Starmer Unfit to Govern
Reform UK has led calls for Starmer’s immediate resignation since the scandal broke. Nigel Farage said the affair shows “blatant dishonesty” and a desperate cover-up. The party says this latest intervention proves Labour cannot be trusted with national security and is distracting from the real issues facing Britain.
What This Means for Britain
This is yet another hammer blow for a Prime Minister already reeling from the Mandelson scandal. While families battle £2,000 energy bills and record small boat crossings, Starmer is consumed by a national security crisis of his own making.
Reform UK’s message is clear: Britain needs honest, strong leadership that puts British interests first. With local elections weeks away, voters can reject Labour’s chaos and back Reform’s plan to secure borders, restore trust and deliver real change.
