Farage kicks things off before 30 minutes of hate – and has the final word

Nigel Farage opened proceedings with a provocative, combative speech that framed the political agenda for the session, setting a confrontational tone early on.

Zia Yusuf, billed as Reform’s shadow home secretary, delivered a forceful tirade that grew more hardline and deranged as it progressed, according to observers.

The exchange signaled escalating tensions within the debate, with both sides pushing aggressive rhetoric and signaling a willingness to push controversial policy positions.
