Farage Says Reform UK Can Win Election After Starmer Quits, Citing 10 Years of Brexit Fallout

Summary
Nigel Farage said Reform UK has “every chance” of winning a general election after Keir Starmer’s resignation, arguing Britain needs a fresh mandate rather than a Labour leadership handover.
Starmer’s fall reflected deeper voter anger over immigration, Farage said, linking Reform’s gains in former Labour areas to the same Brexit-backed demand for tighter borders and sovereignty.
At a London conference, Farage said mass migration had changed many British cities “beyond recognition” and cast Britain’s turmoil as part of a wider Western crisis over identity, policing and values.
Andy Burnham is widely seen as the likely successor, but Farage said a new prime minister chosen internally would lack legitimacy and underscore what he called a broken system after years of rapid leadership turnover.
Farage also pushed for closer UK-U.S. ties on trade and financial services while rejecting any serious route back into the EU, saying Brexit’s political aftershocks still define British politics 10 years on.
