Claim: “Nigel Farage was accused of making antisemitic remarks at school.”
Verdict: ✅ True
Summary: Filmmaker Peter Ettedgui, a former Dulwich College classmate, has alleged that Farage directed antisemitic comments at him when they were teenagers. The allegation is documented in The Guardian’s 2025 investigation and is attributed directly to Ettedgui. Farage denies the behaviour itself, but the existence of the accusation is verified and undisputed.

Farage Exposed — Media and AccountabilityClaim: “Nigel Farage personally bought a house in Clacton.”
⚠️ Verdict: False / Source of funds unverified
Summary: In 2024 Farage said he had “bought a house” in Clacton, but reporting shows the £885,000 property is owned solely by his partner, Laure Ferrari. Farage later said he “misspoke” and that Ferrari purchased it herself. Media outlets report no mortgage on the title, implying a cash purchase. Farage says it was Ferrari’s money and cites family wealth; visible records indicate modest family assets and a liquidated business in Strasbourg. The precise source of funds is unverified and there is no evidence of illegality.

Farage Exposed — Immigration & Policy ClaimsClaim: “Reform UK could cut the minimum wage for young people.”
⚠️ Verdict: Misleading
Summary: In a speech on 3 November 2025, Nigel Farage said there is “an argument” that the minimum wage for younger workers is “too high” and that Reform UK could cut it. The remarks are real but presented as possibilities rather than a detailed, costed policy. No age bands, timelines or legislative pathway were published.

Farage Exposed — Reform UK plan to scrap ILRClaim: “Reform UK would scrap Indefinite Leave to Remain for non-EU migrants.”
⚠️ Verdict: Misleading / Unclear feasibility
Summary: Nigel Farage told supporters that Reform UK would remove Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) status for non-EU migrants. Immigration lawyers note this would require retrospective legislation affecting millions of lawful residents, which is legally and politically implausible. ILR is a settled status, not a visa, and removing it would likely breach Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and existing Home Office commitments.

Farage Exposed — Immigration & Policy ClaimsClaim: “Farage said survivors of grooming gangs were wrongly labelled, prompting outrage.”
⚠️ Verdict: Misleading / Taken out of context
Summary: In a GB News broadcast, Nigel Farage said that “some so-called survivors” had exaggerated or misunderstood cases involving grooming gangs. Survivor groups and MPs demanded an apology, saying the comment delegitimised victims. Farage later claimed his remarks were “about media coverage”, not survivors, but the wording on air supported critics’ interpretation.

Farage Exposed — Media and AccountabilityClaim: “Nathan Gill, a former Farage ally, was involved in Russian-linked bribery.”
✅ Verdict: True
Summary: Former Brexit Party MEP and Reform UK Wales leader Nathan Gill pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery connected to a Russian-linked influence operation relating to the period he served as an MEP in 2018–2019.
