Plaid Cymru and Momentum, Labour’s grassroots campaign group, described his comments as an example of “outright Islamophobia”. The Liberal Democrat deputy leader, Daisy Cooper MP, said: “This a grubby attempt to divide our communities in a desperate attempt for attention. It’s no surprise Nigel Farage has lost at the ballot box seven times over.
In the same interview, Farage said he still had “one more big card to play” and confirmed that he plans to stand as an MP candidate in the future, despite feeling “extremely disappointed” at Sunak’s decision to call a snap election on 4 July. He agreed that most of the West Indian community spoke English, but added: “I can take you to streets in Oldham where literally no one speaks English.”
