Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, criticized the government during a heated exchange in the House of Commons over financial aid to Mauritius amounting to £18 billion, while pensioners in the UK, including war veterans, face cuts to their winter fuel payments. He highlighted the emotional struggles faced by his constituents, particularly a 99-year-old veteran, questioning the rationale behind prioritizing international aid over local support. Sir Keir Starmer's administration faced backlash, with Farage accusing them of treachery regarding the transfer of Chagos Islands' sovereignty, claiming there is no legal basis for this decision.
Farage questioned why pensioners are losing winter fuel payments while Mauritius is set to receive £18 billion, highlighting his constituents' struggles.
The Prime Minister suggested Farage tell his constituents to 'vote Labour,' fueling Farage’s claim that Labour MPs are 'panicking'.
