The Reform UK leader sat down with GB News to offer his views on the current state of Britain under Labour's Government

Nigel Farage has warned that Britain is a "two-tier country" and it will soon "come back to bite" Sir Keir Starmer, as concerns grow over the decisions of the Labour Government.

The Reform UK leader spoke at length with GB News in an interview about the state of Britain under Starmer, following criticisms of a "two-tier" system being used in policing and the judiciary.


Hitting out at the UK's justice system, Farage told GBN America reporter Steven Edginton that under Labour, Britons are receiving larger prison sentences for "posting on Facebook" compared to "serious offences".

Farage explained: "Policing is very, very different, it's two-tier justice. People who say beastly things on Facebook might get two or three years in prison, but others who commit really very serious offences get non-custodial sentences.

"The guy that threw cement at me, non-Custodial. So what does it say? Just go and do it. He got an £85 fine - you get a bigger fine for not paying the charges across the Dartford Bridge than he got. So it's two tier all the way through."

Warning Starmer of the consequences of such decisions, Farage told the PM that it will "come back to bite him" if the country continues in a "two-tier" manner.

Farage told GB News: "This is going to bite two-tier Keir, you watch. This is going to bite, and I think that in the end, the sense of fair play and what is fair dealing is going to come through.

"I sense that Westminster, this Parliament, is probably the least representative we've ever had. Remarkable that the odd outcomes that the first past the post system can bring you. But I honestly don't think this Parliament even understands where the debate is going in this country."

When questioned by Steven on whether he believes Britain is rising to a level of "anti-white hatred", Farage admitted he is "deeply concerned" that the country will become a "deeply divided society".

Farage explained: "I'm concerned about a society where they keep telling us the crime figures are improving. That's because people just don't bother to report crime anymore.

"People feel far less safe going out and about - I've spoken to a number of women who live in London who just want to leave, who just genuinely don't feel safe on the tube at night.

"All you have to do is open your eyes to see that we are living through societal decline."

Turning the discussion to more examples of "anti-white hatred" in Britain, Farage revealed that in the RAF and police force, white candidates for employment were "discriminated against" in order to fulfil DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion) targets.

Farage fumed: "I think some of the institutions are systemically racist against white people, and the Royal Air Force perhaps is the best example of the lot.

"Surely you've got to pick people who are physically and technically the best people to be in the Royal Air Force? I think it is absolutely appalling what they've done.

"The problem is we're living in a two-tier country, with two-tier attitudes towards employment and two-tier attitudes towards policing. We had Black Lives Matter, police officers taking money, dancing in the streets - you get a rough crowd at a football game and the policing is very, very different."
