NIGEL Farage will turn his fire on Labour in the present day as he launches Reform’s election manifesto.

The surging populist will unveil his plans in Wales “because it shows everyone exactly what happens to a country when Labour is in charge”.

After spending two weeks roasting Rishi Sunak and the Tories, Farage will stake his declare to be the true opposition with a brutal takedown of Labour’s report working the Welsh authorities.

He will say: “Schools are worse than in England, NHS ready lists are longer than in England, Covid restrictions have been even tighter than in England and now Welsh motorists are being soaked by actually a whole lot of pace cameras to implement the deeply unpopular new 20mph blanket pace restrict in cities and villages.

“Since devolution, the Welsh have been ignored by the London political institution and let down by the Labour administration they elected.

“Meanwhile, the Tories have been the official opposition nearly solidly since 2016 and have achieved zilch, which most likely explains why we’re neck-and-neck with them within the polls in Wales.”

He will add: “So, if you’d like an image of what the entire nation might be like with a Starmer authorities and a feeble Conservative opposition, come to Wales and then hear us unveil a greater future for all of Britain.”

Yesterday senior Tories continued to turn up the warmth on Farage, who’s consuming into their vote and risking the Conservatives getting annihilated on July 4.

David Davis warned: “Farage is trying to destroy the Conservative Party. That is his explicit aim.”

And ex-Cabinet minister Robert Jenrick accused Reform chairman Richard Tice of being a Labour “sleeper agent”.

Mr Jenrick added: “I not solely perceive the frustrations of Reform voters, I share them.

“But a vote for Reform can solely ship a Labour one-party state that will increase taxes and immigration.”
