Nigel Farage's Plan to Destroy the UK. Here's What We Know.
Undeterred by the fact that there's a war in Ukraine, and a genocide in Gaza, and America is turning increasingly to fascism, Nigel Farage has now proposed deporting legal EU migrants.
The rise of the far-right in the United Kingdom is horrifying. Recently, Nigel Farage announced that if he gets elected, one of his priorities will be to deport legal migrants that have come before the EU Withdrawal Agreement.
As a result of this, I have decided to investigate anti-immigrant and far-right groups, and how Nigel Farage has only served to incite and encourage the politically polarised behaviour from these individuals throughout 2025.
If you find this article helpful, please feel free to share it. It’s really, really important more than ever to be informed about these threats, and to be up-to-date politically, as the media increasingly lurch and pander to the far-right.
As a disabled person, I find it offensive that the Labour Home Secretary is now planning to make legal migrants ‘prove’ that they are contributing to the UK by making them volunteer in communities before they can stay forever.
It’s not enough to now pay taxes in this country, now they have to shape the country into a better direction, and as someone who has spent every waking moment of their life working in some way, Shabana Mahmood simply does not understand the realities of working class people. Not all of us can do that.
Migrants have been attacked non-stop since that referendum, on 23rd June 2016. That was when I woke up, and I found out that the UK had decided to be no longer an international power, and no longer wanted to help out its close-by neighbours. It was a day of mourning for a lot of people, and us, EU citizens.
Even David Cameron was shocked at the results. He thought that this would abate the far-right, but it seems to have only emboldened them as time has gone on. This is what happens when far-right discussions are legitimised in the UK. I fully understand the economic situation we are in, and we should allowing more migrants of various varieties to come in, not closing the door.
The skill shortages in the UK are real. It’s harder than ever, for example, to hire people into the social care sector. The people in charge seem to think that cutting off the supply of a highly qualified workforce will somehow make British people work in that sector. The truth is, we don’t train enough people.
Britain has always suffered from a lack of workers for social care vacancies and other skilled professions. The social care system in this country is broken, and has been for the last seventy-five years. It doesn’t look like that crisis will be fixed soon, even Theresa May tried to cap care costs, but that would have been a problem; it wouldn’t have even touched the tip of the issue.
This anti-immigration sentiment has been building. Let’s do a reality check.
Immigrants Here for State Welfare?
Farage has suggested the way to fix this country is by cutting off poor immigrants’ benefits. It’s a laughable idea. We are a country that actively puts pensioners in poverty, by cutting off their ability to heat their homes properly.
£11,500. That is the new proposed threshold for pensioners at which point they no longer qualify for the Winter Fuel Payment. It’s clearly not enough. Universal Credit claimants get a whole £4,800 a year, before housing costs, which usually don’t cover rent entirely. I would like to invite Rachel Reeves to live on £4,800 a year. Angela Rayner could have told you it’s not enough.
The cuts to disabled people have been grim to watch as well. Disability unemployment benefits have been cut to £50 a week, from £97 a week. The government is expecting disabled people to survive on a mere £2,400 a year, all while suggesting that we just make a few cuts to our spending. You know, because that’s absolutely how disability works. Like a fucking light switch.
Personal Independence Payments are to be tightened further, even though as it currently stands, disabled people have to wait for years to be eventually awarded their benefits anyway, as more than 80% of people who go on to apply for Personal Independence Payment get the benefit anyway. All this is extra pressure on the courts, that have literal maggots raining down them.
When rents are so insanely high, costing an average of £1,317 a month in Manchester, you would have to be out of goddamn mind to be here to ‘sponge off welfare’. This narrative certainly isn’t true in any way now in 2025.
There are no cuts to be made on the disabled and unemployed, because there’s absolutely nothing to cut. They couldn’t even keep a £20 a week top up amount after the pandemic period. I swear one day, they’ll cut the small £10 Christmas Bonus (not changed since 1972) as a saving too. The little grinches.
People with a disability are more likely to be in poverty. 43% of families with one disabled adult, and one disabled child, were in poverty. I don’t see how a person becoming disabled should stop a migrant participating in society.
Many of these benefits I’m sure will include schemes like Access to Work, which aim to get disabled people into work, aka: contributing to the economy. Oh wait, never mind, that’s being cut for everyone right now. It’s backwards.
Now they’re proposing putting solar panels on pensioners’ roofs. To say this is tone deaf is an understatement. Oh it’s OK, dear Gertrude, we’ll take away your Winter Fuel Payment, and then maybe we’ll give you solar panels later.
Obviously, Keir Starmer did condemn Reform’s policies on immigration, but then on the same day Rachel Reeves did essentially tell young people on state benefits to get their assigned Jobcentre Plus™ job or their benefits will be stopped. Labour refuses to learn from the past, now bringing workfare back.
It’s like they’re deliberately trying to undermine themselves. The economic situation is obviously, really grim. Inflation is now at 4.1%, and the Bank of England is now attempting Quantitative Tightening to get it under control.
The ID Card Political Crisis.
You have to wonder what the fuck is the government doing right now, given this time-sensitive, and urgent economic crisis? They’re talking about ID cards. Jesus Fucking Christ. Are they using Tony Blair as an advisor? Hopeless.
We’ve tried this once already, and it ended up being a disaster. A whole £257 million was spent before it was scrapped, and who knows how many millions will be wasted? How about we sort out fragmentation in the NHS first, no?
Who were the focus groups that Keir was listening to? It’s like watching an epsiode of The Thick Of It (great political drama by the way) and seeing the Fourth Sector Pathfinder Initiative combined with a bit of Black Mirror.
But yet, they couldn’t spend a bit of money actually giving EU citizens an actual way to prove their immigration status without going online all this time? Who is this helping? Who voted for ID cards? Nobody. It’s been forced.
In principle, I do not object to ID cards. The EU uses ID cards after all, and they can be helpful in European countries to prove your county without having to whip out your passport or driving license. That’s how it works there.
It feels as if Keir’s cabinet have tried to do exactly that; it was supposed to be an innovation, a more convenient way to do exactly that, but the EU ID card actually has a purpose, in which it also lets you navigate through the entire Schengen area without needing a passport. That’s an actual use case for it.
It also comes at a rather interesting time, of increasing government oversight and surveillance, and only recently did Liberty International win a legal case against the government on the draconian protest laws in the United Kingdom.
I don’t think Keir Starmer understands the position he’s in. September 2025 Ipsos polling data currently shows a majority for Reform at 34%. Believe me, an ID card is the worst idea to propose right now. Keir’s done an own goal.
Keir Starmer has now two options: either press on with the policy as if really nothing happened, pissing off even more voters, or revert the policy and then effectively give Reform and the Conservatives the opportunity to attack Keir’s leadership. Andy Burnham is already doing that, because he’s had enough of it.
But Keir’s biggest problem is, in my professional opinion, Rachel Reeves. She is sticking to her guns with her own self-imposed fiscal policy, and she will not entertain the idea of maybe loosening that a little. Absolutely bonkers.
Clearly we need to increase funding in education on IT lessons, because she’s about to commit the same bloody error Osbourne did during the austerity period, as famously George Osbourne in 2010 made a huge spreadsheet error.
Austerity does not work. It merely hides the real problems with the economy.
Reform Is The Real Danger.
Voters are so fed up of the current political status quo, that they are turning to Reform. That should terrify all left-leaning political parties out there of all colours. Nobody wants a far-right government to get into power.
I read The Guardian’s investigation on radicalisation in anti-immigrant online communities, These journalists were to expose what is now being shared in far-right Facebook group pages. The level of detail is truly quite horrifying.
These communities think that Nigel Farage has some of the answers; after all, he is supposedly running on a platform of reform. I went on a deep dive into the Reform Manifesto; the pledges are certainly interesting to say the least.
Why would anyone want to come to the UK, learn a new whole new language, spend months having to get accustomed to a whole new country, and then be told to leave? It’s a hard, and expensive process. He wants a cap on non-essential immigration, and wants “time dependent work permits”.
Not only is this achievable with a conversation with France, but also he’s now contributed to a language of fear in the Home Office.
We need to cut out some of the £3 billion used on agency staff in the NHS, but we cut NHS waste with long-term investment in education and use of immigration. I don’t know what office waste there is to cut.
He makes no mention of removing ‘fiscal drag’, i.e. raising taxes by stealth, instead decreasing income. The £12,570 Personal Allowance, that has been frozen since 2021, and this would directly help the lowest paid,.
He’s into climate change denialism, but to reiterate: We are now already seeing the effects of climate change in the UK. It’s a real threat to us.
I may be preaching to the choir here, but he’s not only your run-of-the-mill racist, but he’s actively dangerous. Four in ten BBC news bulletins are about him and his policies he’s leading. Effectively, this gives his views free airtime.
One of his other manifesto policies is the Employer Immigration Tax, to raise NI to 20% to foreign workers, but British Citizens would be at the old rate of 13.8%. This would boost wages and raise up to £20 billion, but business confidence of the economy has collapsed in the UK thanks to NI changes by Labour; major investments by firms were paused or entirely scrapped.
He is obsessed with the idea of a Department of Government Efficiency. Saving five quid in every hundred pounds? That sounds familiar. Oddly familiar. If it looks like bullshit, if it quacks like bullshit, it’s bullshit. After all, the American version of DOGE uses Grok AI, raising data privacy concerns, and putting the social security data of millions of Americans at grave danger.
Co-operating with the European Union has its benefits, such as the Security and Defence partnerships recently negotiated, as well as the upcoming Youth Mobility Scheme. It will not help the British economy to rip up all EU laws.
Slashing the Foreign Aid budget allows for diseases such as HIV to roam rampant in countrnies. We’re already seeing that with the US foreign aid cuts.
As part of their manifesto, they claim that HMRC is letting through billions in unpaid tax, and their policy is to fix this is to just be ‘better’. This is a uselesss statement by Reform UK, as the problems are related to HMRC’s aging computer systems and training, as opposed to management & conduct issues.
Pandering to the Rich.
His Stamp Duty cut is designed to benefit the rich. He proposes increasing the threshold from £125,000, to £750,000. While I agree that £125,000 may be too low, the average price of a house is £269,000 in the UK, and his proposal will only benefit well-off Londoners, and London has its own buy schemes.
Then he goes on about freeing 1.2 million small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) from corporation tax, by reducing corporation tax. Cutting the rate of corporation tax to encourage business investment has historically not worked.
A lot of his economic policies for business add nothing new to the table, but it’s worth pointing out two things that really stood out to me when reading;
He seems to think that we can just abolish a 21,000 page tax code and condense to Hong Kong’s 500 pages. I wonder if he’s evading taxes.
He wants to make it easier to hire and fire people. This will make the practice of fire-and-rehire easier to do, something that needs more attention drawn to. Famously, PO Ferries did exactly just that in 2024.
He wants to reform the NHS, by removing the training caps (intake targets) off medical courses. The problem are not the caps; removing the caps would make the situation worse, as the problems are related to lack of residencies for doctors. There’s no point training doctors if they can’t get a job by the end.
Nigel Farage also wants to weaken workers’ rights, and he voted against the damn Employment Rights Bill. He is pro-capitalist, and strongly anti-union.
He wants tax relief of 20% on private healthcare and insurance, which essentially undermines the entire point of the NHS being free at the point of use. Aneurin Bevan would be appalled. State healthcare is about true equality.
He wants a NHS voucher scheme for private treatment if the NHS fails to treat patients within nine weeks for an operation. We already do a version of this: the Patient Choice scheme needs to expand to mental health providers. What’s being proposed here is a form of circumventing and eroding the NHS.
He proposes charging people for failing to attend NHS appointments. Of course, no allowances are made for patients who may have disabilities that prevent them from leaving their homes, or problems regarding neurodiversity.
He’s also a vaccine denier. He wants to spend millions on a public inquiry about COVID-19 vaccines that are proven to work. This isn’t surprising, but it gives you an idea of where his NHS policy ideas have been formed. America.
The Authoritarian State.
He proposes increasing Stop and Search substantially, a policy that has been proven to be fundamentally racist, and puts cis women & trans women at risk.
Something that has stood out to me while reading the Reform Manifesto is that Reform wants a new offence of ‘Substantial Possession of Drugs’. Clearly, we have not learnt from Portugal that decriminalisation is how you reduce drug-related crime. The NHS medically prescribed only 4,326 cannabis-based medicines in 2024, meaning patients get criminalised for pain relief.
Reform also wants to change the definition of a hate crime, by weakening protections for victims. Could it be that the members of the party are themselves, extremists & push far-right conspiracy theories? Could it be that they’re ruining trans people’s lives? If anything, they should be arrested.
He wants more Pupil Referral Units for violent and disruptive pupils. The old Pupil Referral Unit model does not work, as only 1% of pupils achieve five or more good GCSEs, and we should be trying to reform individuals through a tailored education as well as meeting their needs, not throwing them away.
Nigel Farage obviously knows what’s the best for human beings, of course, which is why he has committed to cutting disability and unemployment benefits from millions of people, claiming a massive overdiagnosis, despite the fact that in areas like Sheffield, ADHD assessment waits are up to 8 years.
Farage sides on profiting from the renting crisis, and has become the true landlord’s champion. He wants to scrap Section 24, which restricts landlords’ ability to make profit to basic rates of income tax, which is currently an upper threshold of £50,270. I think any landlord that is earning that much, frankly should be capped. I do not believe landlords should be earning excess profits.
He doesn’t understand Critical Race Theory. To give a simple explanation, it’s when the means of production are owned by white people, it leads to a white culture, and therefore an inequal society. To ban this correct explanation of what happens to black people, is simply a form of whitewashing history.
I’m also not surprised that he wants to implement a ‘Britannia’ card, which would allow multi-millionaires to dodge taxes by declaring their residency elsewhere, which would cost the country over time £34 billion in lost tax revenues, for a low one-time price of £250,000. What an absolute bargain.
Which leads us nicely into our final section, where it goes from bad, to absolutely insane. It’s the story of Reform using dark money to get elected.
The Crypto and the Dodgy Donors.
Most concerningly of all, the Reform Party takes donations in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, which does not have a public wallet address listed for audit. Cryptocurrency in this case means complete anonymity for the donors. Unlike with bank transactions, it’s difficult to trace the sources of funding.
There is no way currently to audit this information, as Reform does not publish which donations are made in crypto, giving a summary of their party accounts instead. What is known however, is not pretty: they’re all criminals.
Nigel Farage has accepted a donation of £50,000, illegally, from Robert Tchenguiz, He happens to be the brother of Vincent Tchenguiz, an investor in Cambridge Analytica, the consultancy firm which influenced US elections.
He’s also advertising gold for Direct Bullion, for a tidy sum of £280,000. It’s interesting how he was also on Russia Today trying to advertise gold. Weird. Almost like he’s attempting to profit from the rise in gold prices as of late.
George Cottrell is one of the main donors to the Reform party, who was successfully convicted of wire fraud in the US but continues to operate in the UK with Nigel Farage, still donating and creating new companies to this day.
Comically, he’s even written a book titled ‘How to Launder Money’. It’s hilarious, until you realise this guy was advertising money laundering services on the dark web to help drug cartels, seeking to launder up to $150,000. Oh, and hilariously, he also thought that could be a way to defraud criminals, too.
Did I mention that his mother, Fiona Cottrell, another donor to Reform UK literally dated King Charles III? Or the fact that his day job, that lead him to being appointed Deputy Treasurer of UKIP, was helping high net worth individuals shift their money across borders? Or the fact that he would refer to Nigel Farage as ‘daddy’. a very normal behaviour for cisheterosexual men.
His polling company, Geostrategy, is registered as an unlimited company, meaning there is no obligation for Geostrategy to file accounts to Companies House. There’s no way to audit the accounts, which is ripe for abuse.
What I have worked out is that there are two entities related to Geostrategy:
Geostrategy Ltd is the registered company.
And the Council on Geostrategy is the public-facing name of the think tank operated by Geostrategy Ltd.
To verify this, here are the steps you can take:
George Cottrell is the director of Geostrategy Ltd (13132479). This means that he is ultimately responsible for the company and its direction.
This is associated with the Britain’s World newsletter, which is ran by the Council on Geostrategy, ran by company number 13132479.
This is clearly an organisation ran by the far-right, that supports Trump, Marine Le Pen, and a touts a heavy focus on Nigel Farage and his polling. It’s a public policy institute for Reform’s policy-making, one that isn’t subtle at that.
And this is where it gets funny. By that, I mean, absolutely fucking terrifying. The funding for Geostrategy is actually.. the British Government, as well as all the military contractors, as well as several foreign governments. This organisation is ran by a convict, and we’re actively funding his crime.
See for yourself: https://www.geostrategy.org.uk/ethics-and-funding (accessed: 01/10/2025 01:35). To see the list is just absolutely crazy.
I will reach out to Reform UK for comment, and I will update this article as soon as I hear a response to establish transparency about what these companies and organisations have funded & why these donations happened.
In Summary.
To summarise, Reform UK is actively willing to break the law, by having its 136 candidates raise money on crowdfunding platforms that allow anonymous donations, despite it being a flagarant breach of Electoral Commission rules.
Farage’s brother, Andrew Farage, profited illegally by paying himself £125,000 from the company he ran which was in the process of liquidation, Farage Ltd,
Reform is not playing by the rules. Reform as a political movement need to be stopped before these vile criminals get into any kind of power.
The Electoral Commission needs to ban Reform UK from having a party registration as they have no intention staying within legal boundaries, and the Electoral Commision needs to gain further independence as an entity.
It’s now more important than ever.
