"I'm deeply upset that our young council leader was assaulted. The words used against him echo the prime minister's disgraceful attack on Reform during Labour conference week and wholly irresponsible comments from the leader of the Green Party."
"Violence, harassment or intimidation is completely unacceptable and has no place in our politics or society. Any such incidents must be thoroughly investigated, and the perpetrators must be brought to justice."
"the alleged attacker was wound up and sent into battle by the dangerous rhetoric of Labour and the Greens"
George Finch, Britain's youngest council leader at 19, reported being called a racist and a fascist and was allegedly assaulted in Nuneaton town centre, suffering no lasting injury. Finch said the alleged attacker had been wound up and sent into battle by the dangerous rhetoric of Labour and the Greens. Warwickshire Police are investigating the incident. Nigel Farage condemned the assault and said the words used echoed Sir Keir Starmer's 'disgraceful attack' on Reform and irresponsible comments from the Green leader. Sir Keir described Reform's politics as racist and called deportation advocates 'an enemy of national renewal.' Labour and Green spokespeople said violence and intimidation are unacceptable and must be investigated.
