Nigel Farage described a Guardian reporter as “a loser” after being asked whether his activities on the video platform Cameo, selling reels to a convicted murderer, raised questions of trust.
Farage had refused to take questions from the Guardian, the Record, the Daily Mail and the National newspapers during his press conference at the end of a three and a half hour-long rally and manifesto launch near Glasgow.
The Guardian approached the Reform UK leader after he left the stage, to ask him about his aspirations to be prime minister of the country, suggesting the “agencies and institutions charged with protecting our safety” would not be able to trust him if he was on Cameo selling messages on behalf of people like convicted criminals.
Farage stepped closer, and to cut the question off replied: “You are a loser.”
Asked why, he replied:
You’re a loser. If I sell you a pair of shoes, do I check whether you were a murderer?
He then walked off, flanked by Reform UK security.
He crumbles under the slightest scrutiny. Childish Trump like insults before storming off hiding behind some bigger boys. Reporters banned from asking questions, the party of free speech eh?
