"The alleged attacker was wound up and sent into battle by the dangerous rhetoric of Labour and the Greens, Finch told the Daily Mail. He said the attack didn't cause any lasting injury. Farage said he was deeply upset about the incident and 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."
"Reform's council leader George Finch has been assaulted in the street. The assailant shouted fascist, racist exactly the language used by the prime minister and the leader of the Green party. They know exactly what they're doing. This comes after Farage accused the prime minister of inciting violence against him during his speech at the Labour party conference."
George Finch, 19, the Reform leader of Warwickshire county council, was allegedly assaulted after being called 'racist' and 'fascist'. Finch said the alleged attacker had been wound up by Labour and Green rhetoric and that the attack did not cause lasting injury. Nigel Farage criticised language used by Labour and the Greens and linked it to the prime minister's remarks at the Labour conference. Reform's head of policy Zia Yusuf said the assailant used exactly the language used by the prime minister and the leader of the Green party. Labour condemned violence and called for investigation and justice, while the Green party rejected violence and criticised politicising the attack.
