‘I fear the WORST!’ – Nigel Farage URGES Keir Starmer to ‘think HARD’ about UK-US relations
Nigel Farage, speaking from Washington, D.C., issued a serious warning to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, urging him to take the UK’s relationship with the United States more seriously. Farage expressed deep concern over recent actions by the Labour government, which he believes could damage the historic bond between the two nations. He emphasized the importance of this relationship, especially as Donald Trump begins his second term as President.
Farage became emotional when discussing the release of British-Israeli hostage Emily, whose story he had championed. He shared how he sent a heartfelt voice message to Emily’s mother, Mandy, after hearing the news of her release. Farage said, “I felt for her so much. No one was willing to stand up and bring attention to her case, so I did my best. I’m thrilled she’s safe now.” He credited Trump’s tough stance and strong negotiation skills for the success, noting that even before officially retaking office, Trump’s influence was already being felt globally.
Farage praised Trump’s leadership style, calling him decisive and action-oriented. He highlighted Trump’s past achievements, such as the Abraham Accords, which brought peace agreements between Israel and several Arab nations. Farage argued that Trump’s approach to foreign policy, which focuses on strength and clear goals, is what the world needs now, especially with ongoing global tensions. “People call Trump a warmonger, but that’s not true. He believes in peace through strength, and history shows that bullies back down when faced with someone firm and clear,” Farage explained.
In contrast, Farage criticized Starmer’s leadership in the UK, calling it indecisive and uninspiring. He pointed to the controversial handling of the British Indian Ocean Territory deal, which almost went ahead before Trump’s inauguration. Farage warned that such a move could have severely damaged the UK’s relationship with the US. “That military base is one of the most important symbols of cooperation between our countries. If Starmer had pushed that deal through, Trump would have seen it as a betrayal—not just of America, but of British and Western interests too,” he said.
Farage also took aim at Labour politicians, including Sadiq Khan, for their repeated public insults toward Trump. He argued that this kind of behavior harms Britain’s reputation and risks isolating the UK from its closest ally. “Trump is incredibly well-informed. He knows everything that’s going on. These insults don’t go unnoticed, and they don’t help our position in the world,” Farage added.
Turning to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, Farage expressed hope that Trump’s leadership could bring an end to the conflict. Trump has stated that he could start negotiations immediately and bring the war to a close within 24 hours. Farage acknowledged the complexity of the situation but supported Trump’s focus on peace. “This war has caused millions of casualties, and all we hear from Western leaders is that it should go on forever. Trump’s instincts to push for peace could save countless lives,” he said.
Farage also criticized Starmer’s economic and foreign policy direction, accusing him of leaning too heavily toward the European Union’s model of governance. He warned that this approach could lead to economic decline and further weaken the UK’s global influence. “The UK needs to decide if it wants to follow America’s low-tax, free-market model or stick with the EU’s path of decline. Starmer’s globalist instincts are a problem,” he said.
In Washington, Farage described the atmosphere as optimistic and full of energy. He said that even Trump’s critics were beginning to acknowledge his impact. “The vibe here is unbelievable. Everyone—from taxi drivers to business leaders—is excited about what’s happening. Even some of Trump’s harshest opponents, like Mark Zuckerberg, have accepted his vision and paid big money to attend his inauguration. People believe in him, and that says a lot,” he shared.
Farage closed by emphasizing the opportunity Starmer has to strengthen ties with the US. “This relationship with America is our most important. Without their support, Britain is defenseless in a very dangerous world. I hope Starmer realizes this and makes the right choices,” he said. Farage offered his help to Labour leaders, saying he would assist in any way to protect the UK’s national interests.
As Trump begins his presidency with a clear and bold vision, Farage believes the UK has much to learn from his leadership. He urged Starmer to focus on building a stronger partnership with the US, warning that failing to do so could leave Britain isolated and vulnerable.
