Reform UK leader Nigel Farage seemed to joke about the front cover of the Daily Mail.
The candidate for Clacton held up a copy of today’s front page that read ‘ Vote Farage, Get Them…’ followed by a picture of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and deputy Angela Rayner.
In the video posted to X, formerly Twitter, Farage held up a copy of today’s paper, only showing the top line.
He said: “So walking past the news stands, that’s all people see. Thank you Daily Mail, thank you for your support.”
