At its annual conference, the UK's National Education Union (NEU) condemned Reform UK as a far-right and racist organization, pledging to allocate funds to oppose its election candidates. The NEU's motion emphasized that such parties exploit societal issues by scapegoating vulnerable groups. NEU General Secretary Daniel Kebede pointed out the concerning links between Reform UK and former BNP activists. In response, Nigel Farage dismissed Kebede, accusing him of Marxist indoctrination and vowing to battle the NEU if successful in the 2029 elections, likening him to a 'poundshop Donald Trump.'
The NEU motion highlighted that far-right parties like Reform UK exploit societal despair by scapegoating marginalized groups. This prompted the union to pledge funds against their election candidates.
NEU's General Secretary, Daniel Kebede, expressed concerns about Reform UK's appeal to former BNP activists and the potential negative impact of their policies on education.
Nigel Farage responded to the NEU's motion by labeling the union's leader a Marxist, alleging that they indoctrinate children against his party's values.
Kebede noted that Farage's rhetoric resembles that of Donald Trump, underscoring a broader trend of political attacks on education organizations from populist leaders.
