- The second and third Covid lockdowns were the biggest ever mistake made by a British government in peacetime, Nigel Farage has said.
Mr Farage spoke in front of a crowd of around 1,000 Reform UK supporters in Sunderland, the port city that gave significant backing to Brexit in 2016 and has benefited from Nissan ramping up production in the following years.
Mr Farage told the rally: “The Tories say we’re in economic trouble because of the pandemic. But hang on, you didn’t need to lock us down for a second and a third time.
“You didn’t need to take away our freedoms in a way that weren’t even done during World War Two and all of it with Labour support.
“I actually believe the long-term economic and psychological damage from lockdowns two and three perhaps represents the biggest mistake any British government, supported by the opposition, has ever made in peacetime.”
He went on to say he treated the second and third lockdowns with “contempt”.
Mr Farage will campaign on Thursday alongside Richard Tice, his predecessor and now the chairman of Reform, in Boston and Skegness, where Mr Tice hopes to unseat Tory incumbent Matt Warman.

Explains why Reform UK Ltd loves the uneducated. They can't think for themselves
Honest folk in Sunderland, don’t forget to vote to stop the rot
There is more poor people than rich, please get off your arses and vote
A private company like Reform led by the top 0.01% of wealth is not saving any common folk. 😄
Yeah, the failed Brexit party is formed by poor people and will work for the poor 🥹😅😂🤣🥲!!!!
Poor people are always better off on benefits, aren't they? That's the trap that people must escape if they too want to be wealthy.
and this guy caused a few more with his ridiculous Brexit
@@monsieurfoupierreNo Peter. Successive labour and conservative governments have made us poor. Lockdown made us poor. Mass immigration makes us poor.
Reform for me
Am I dreaming ? Someone talking sense 😂
Where?
If I could make it back to the UK in time, I'll vote for Nigel Farage's Reform. The man is electrifying. Sunack was a failure from the get go.
Unfortunately as a now Profi speech maker, that is all he is. He does not have the resolve, stamina or interest in seeing any of it through himself.
“A disrupter” his name for himself.
U are a foregner where u r.
@@Kath-nd6pj
Nonsense.
Get out and VOTE everyone please ! We can do it..just like Brexit Vote..no one believed us !! Im a ex Tory belived in Brexit and i believe in Reform party, we have no other choice other than Reform party! I watched Starmer and Sunak last night..i just couldn't believe them..as usual knocking each other..but not answering the questions !! And did NOT believe either of them..both parties are the same..we need change badly lets do it for our grandkids sake !
Returned my postal vote back to Newcastle City Council last week. My X by Reform Party. My only regret is that I can only vote for them once!
@@sjm6963 Sleepy Joe Biden got lots of dead people to vote in the last election, anyone know how sleepy Joe talks to the dead 💀 😳🤣
The problem with postal votes is that they can void your votes using various excuses. I voted Ukip twice by postal vote and both times my vote was void one time they said that my signature did not match which was a lie. Previously I voted Labour without any problems. So now I always vote in person.
My condolences.

Silly comment.

@@LukVik Nothing could be worse than Trudeau
im going to be honest, i am from the northeast, i have also lived 14 years in london, and came back 4 years ago, i have always, i will be honest, thought nigel was a fool, and idiot, a chancer, a del boy, this time tomorrow i will be prime minister, thats not going to happen anytime soon like del boy, but for the first time, listening, and to the two other main parties, i think he has got his idea and his ideals right, for this part of the country, he may not be prime minister, but as del boys says, who dares wins. i have changed my opinion i will be honest
That's how Hitler did it too. He also dialed back the offensive things to get moderate voters to support him, and then did what he wanted, killing the outgroups, Jews etc.
Del Boy became a millionaire 😮
Thanks for being honest.
Nice one Nige.
Fantastic speech. Massive crowd too. I’ll be voting reform.
🥹😅😂🤣🥲
Sunderland a strong Labour area, I only live just down the road in County Durham and very strong Labour area here too, but everyone I'm speaking to is voting Reform Party... Ignore the Labour Voters Comments!
Well done Sunderland 👍
Just been to see Nigel absolutely fantastic ❤@patriot1066
Scotland used to be strong labour too.
Don't worry...Labour will win by a Landslide...
Ive only heard people wanting to vote reform
Me my friends and all our families are voting reform
That’s 42 people right there
Yep all of mine over 30 people easy
Mine too 20 people .
I only wish the other millions had families like yours
5 ppl in my immediate family voting Reform here in north west
Really is true that voting for Labour is voting for millions more low skilled illegal workers in the nation. That means lower wages, higher rents, higher prices on goods and higher crime. Tories are just front men for private businesses overseas. Seems theres only one party who represent British people.
Plaid Cymru
Lib.Dems?

Go Go *Farage!* ☑️ Vote *REFORM UK* Put the *Great* back into Britain 🇬🇧
Everybody knows Reform is the party to vote for, some people just don't have full control of their faculties.
Unfortunately with the situation we have today, to take four years to be able to vote them out again when their total incompetence becomes obvious things will only be so much worse, and possibly beyond recovery.
I'M ALWAYS GOING TO VOTE REFORM.😊👌👍
Good luck 🥹😅😂🤣🥲!!!!
Me too, Reform all the WAY!
They won't exist at the next election. Or Farage will come up with yet another name.
@@goharikjones7387 Until they change their name yet again.
@keithlowton308 the one term Wonder? Like how long he stayed loyal to his last incarnation and did not see it through? That is a very short “always”.
Farage does not plan to stick around longer than that.
Cause disruption, then move on before anyone expects him to actually work at his promises.
Something big is coming on election day. Vote Reform!
All the best from Calgary.

I will be surprised if this is on the BBC tonight. Vote Reform UK which is growing stronger by the hour🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Pointless; BBC viewers wouldn't watch or listen.
Sick and tired of the incompetent Labour and Tory...vote Reform to right the damage inflicted by those two appalling aforementioned parties
More incompetent than the failed Brexit party 🤔????
Reform is not competent.

Great speech!! Nigel 4 PM.
Vote Reform.
Zero Waiting lists.
Make Work Pay.
I so want Nigel for PM and all my friends do 2.
But he said himself he does not want the job.
He can make speeches till the cows come home, but dealing with the day to day of a prime minister for Farage - that is just too much like hard work.
He ran away before when the Brexit he wanted happened. He said “there is no money in first line politics”.
He joined Trump’s troop. Started GM TV, is on tictok and runs around. the USA making speeches for a living.
This stint into U.k politics will give him fresh material to liven up his tired “Brexit” speeches into the future.
Plus campaigning against net Zero to boost his shares in DGB. Prime minister is not his aim.
My Granddaughter is voting for the first time now she's 18, she told me today that she voting for Reform, lump in throat time.
Nigel has integrity and earnest decency. It’s heartening to hear him speak, lead and serve.
The only person Farage serves is himself
@@ChrisGriffiths-jw5qdwho do Starmer and Sunak serve
Vote Reform thanks Nigel FARAGE vote for real change
Nigel will deliver he tells the truth and nothing but the truth...
Oh, my. So how many thousands was leaving the EU going to save us annually?
He does not intend to stick around to implement any plans he puts forwards, just like before, he will run off the the USA to join Trump with bigger fish to fry.
Weaken the EU, disarray in the U.K., riots in the USA. Putin and Trump want the democracies worldwide to fail for themselves to keep hold of power and Farage is just a tool.
VOTE REFORM UK
Vote reform party...
GOD BLESS ENGLAND 🏴♥️🇺🇸
Thanks 🇬🇧 ace vid with your daughter 🔥
Once again FARAGE is CORRECT.
Yet more pointless and unhelpful commentary
They said the same about Hitler and Mussolini in the 1930s and look what happened.
@@caribstu Farage is nothing more than a rabble rouser. He has never been an MP. and has a chip on his shoulder about that very fact.
@@normanchristie4524How many did Stalin kill with his 5 year plans, hiw many dud Pol Pot, Mao, Amin kill? All lefties, never vote left, ends in bankruptcy and bloodshed, they always run out of other people's money. Vote Reform 🇬🇧
We need Nigel as the leader of this country.
Sooooo cringe 😬!!!!
But he does not want the job. Said so himself in an interview. His role is as a disrupter. Same as the role he took when he “worked” as a European parliamentarian in Brussels 1999. He did nothing to argue for change of policies in the interest of the U.K. he made it clear he was only there as a disrupter. So only to complain. Not to come up with solutions, like the one where others gained us the right to NOT join the EURO monetary system.
We had rights within the EU to offer alternatives to other EU rulings while we were in the EU. Only our representatives (especially the disrupter Farage). were too lazy to do any actual work, while living at ease, eating, drinking in Europe at EU expense.
Someone's doing an excellent job of Nigel's music. Best campaign this year BY FAR!
@andromeda yes the music is good, but that is all.
Ironically musicians are one of the groups of Brits that suffer the most through Brexit. Especially the many smaller bands that used to travelling through Europe in the summer months attending concerts and putting on shows. The Roadies etc. permits, paperwork. Loss of a good supplement income.
@@Kath-nd6pjDid nobody travel abroad before the EU?
I don't think so. It was about protecting the elderly to a large extent.
🇬🇧 Don’t be a Gorm vote Reform 🇬🇧
No ID , No Benefits.
CAN WE JUST MAKE THIS MAN PRIME MINISTER NOW!!!
We will be more respected under the reform UK party, we can not house the world especially not our known enemies or people coming to change and disrupt our way of life
let us help farage and get this man some votes
Let’s not.
Only Reform can secure a better future for UK
How? Who do they have fior all the important roles in government? Who is their proposed chancellor? Who for Primeminister? Farage has already said he does not want THAT job. Too much like hard work and, God forbid, it would make him unpopular considering he would need to actually work and fail in all he promised.
@@Kath-nd6pj That's the worrying part is it not, that our 2 main parties have become so comfortable in the knowledge that no one else is equipped for the job, that they can actively hurt the UK and still feel secure in their position.
Make Britain great again

Amazing Speech! The Support shown is quite electrifying!
Yes! A Positive Vision is what our Country Needs and Deserves!
I Like Nigel Farage , He Must Be Elected To Be PM Of United Kingdom 🎉
I live in Iceland and we are drowning in woke bull and left madness. We desperately need leader like Nigel. We have garbage leaders
Please take him. This is not his usual role, just popping by the U.k to drum up a bit more controversy for his upcoming world wide speeches of “disruption”.
He is more usually found hanging about with the .trump entourage. More money to be made for speeches in the USA.
Your corrupt right-wing politicians drove Iceland into national bankruptcy! The state was bankrupt, apparently already forgotten.
The EU then got Iceland out of the mud with its support!
@@w47wLiar.
What a great man. Reform UK 🇬🇧
Sunderland,the new illegal immigrant capitol of Britain.
Come on get out and vote reform!
Couldn't agree more.
Biggest mistake was allowing the City of London.
To do what?
@@Kath-nd6pj Exist.
I was there . Reform for me
Drill baby, Drill👍
MAGA crazy 😜🤔????
The truth can hurt, can’t it! Nigel Farage is saying many things here, that many who are either delusional or in denial, don’t find palatable. But, I’m sick and tired and demoralised the way the Tories and Labour have behaved these past years. I will be voting for REFORM. It’s time for reform. It’s time for change before it’s too late!
brilliant
He’s turned his reputation around.
I hope he gets a seat in parliament, we should be proud to be British and of British History, he is definitely right about that
Sunderland is a dump,i moved to London from Sunderland in 1998,no work , the decline began in the 1980,s,,no industry,,no small businesses,,theres nothing happening,,ive followed how my old home city had faired over the decades,,the mayor,and civil servants earn fantastic wages,,one mayor was on almost £500,000 a year,, the wage bill swallowed up the public funds allocated,,the area is riddled with crime,mass unemployment,,generations of unemployed,,a huge alcohol band drug situation amongst the young and now oldr generations,,whom have never worked,, Sunderland is classed one of the worst places to live in the UK,,its a dump,,and as the people wallow in self pity, getting drunk and stoned on drugs and booze,,nothing has stopped thosr people from gaining and education,,even moving away to find work,, the only people who drink, smoke, take drugs are unemployed,,i still have relatives who live there,,god help them,,
Neh
Hmm, sounds like it makes them more likely to fall for this Charlatan.
Good choice on location Nigel. Your time with Trumps entourage was not wasted!
Yip, and it continually votes liebour, you'd think they would learn that voting for the same arseholes will not change anything. What has Liebour actually done for Sunderland, your list I assume is accurate, I haven't been.
Vote for Reform, they are the only choice. Lie Bore, and the CONS, need I say more?
And giving companies friends of MP's contracts to build hospitals and schools which we now rent at excessive annual costs, which were badly built costing tax-payers excessive rents.
And the small print in the EU BREXIT agreement which was not 'oven ready' but Boris still signed it.
Come on Nigel reform uk
And paying personal expenses nothing to do with government like 'duck islands' from tax-payers money.
wonerful. please send me the t-shirt i will wear it with pride
Nigel's events are far more entertaining than woke, lefty Glastonbury.
Listening to Nigel speak truly is a breath of fresh air. This country needs serious change. Vote Reform 🇬🇧
Hot air.
@@Kath-nd6pjlefties are rattled, loving it.
And frightening UK citizens to take an untested medication in the past 3 years.
Vote reform party period
Can we see the audience please
Vote people,..👍
Vote reform
Farage has forgotten that Great Britain lost a lot of hospital staff with BREXIT! Great Britain had no other option otherwise even more people would have died.
EU countries helped each other quickly and were able to save many people. Their disaster protection helped a lot, as there are also many trained paramedics and doctors here.
In Great Britain, disaster protection was cut to the bone!
It wasn't a "mistake",
it was a coup.
The salty lefties are out in force in the comments. God, it must be so exhausting being them. Vote reform ❤
Where is that good old blitz spirit?
Give hope
And supporting the USA with all their wars over the past 80 years with tax-payers money whilst the UK economy crashes and we still have no free trade agreement with USA.
❤what about free energy that is being withheld
Absolutely! Worse of all they were totally unnecessary!!
Goog God I love this man
It looks like a looney Tunes cartoon . Starring Farage as Speedy Gonzalez
It is difficult to et the true figures but there appears to be about 5 million people of working age that do not work. NHS waiting lists show 8 million on waiting lists but no details on the severity of their illness. so how many can’t work. So we need to get millions off. Benefits But we also are informed there are 1 million vacancies. We are also aware that 1.4 million immigrants came in last year and almost as many currently giving us 700,000net. So that leaves still 4 to5 million without work even when vacancies are filled. So how frustrated are all those people now threatened with lack of support if they don’t get work. HOW CANTHAT WORK? Multiple organisations don’t seem able to work this out. We obviously need more jobs created by businesses so we need rapid job creation but we don’t see he policies doing that. There are over 200,000 vacant jobs in NHS and Care . Filling these is not even mentioned.
We need realwealth and that has to incorporate FRACKING. OIL AND GAS FOR 30 years minimum.
100,000 Carers were Sacked for refusing the jab , during Lockdown, they have been replaced in some cases, by Undocumented People . Abuse is Rife .
vote Reform
And the government's support of Ukraine and Israel without the House of Commons discussion and agreement to use tax payers money to destroy Ukraine and Gaza and their citizens which added to the cost of living rise. Spending money on Ukraine and Gaza instead of the NHS, pot holes, education etc for what?
I love farage but the stop and search thing.... I carry cannabis daily not sure about that search mr farage
I think that he was referring to the ever increasing knife crime and firearms more than drugs.
