Farage: I won't sue Kemi over her claims of Reform member fraud and dishonesty

KEMI Badenoch will be spared a legal fight with Nigel Farage over her claim that Reform UK faked its membership numbers.

He said yesterday he would not take court action against the Conservative leader after she accused him of "fraud and dishonesty".

Instead Mr Farage will descend on her North West Essex constituency with 1,200 supporters to campaign this month.

The Brexit architect said: "I'm not going to sue over it because, as I said, I do believe in free speech.

"I was offended by it, I asked for an apology and one wasn't given so I'm going to go to her constituency on the 31st of this month.

"I'm going to hold a big event for all the Reform members living in her constituency, there are 417 of them when I last checked, paid-up members. Bet it's more than she's got.
