Reform UK leader Nigel Farage addressed a rally at Doncaster Racecourse, saying the city is 'broken'.

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, visited Doncaster on 1 October and addressed a rally at Doncaster Racecourse. He described the city as 'broken' and called for fundamental change to how town and city centres are structured, saying 'We need to rethink the whole model of what a town and city centre is. And we haven't really quite got there.'

Farage commented on the Prime Minister's approach to Brexit, saying he was 'very surprised' the debate had been reignited and suggesting this would 'open door to Reform'. The visit covered issues including high streets, welfare and Reform councillors stepping down.

Labour responded to the visit by characterising it as a 'distraction tour'. A Labour spokesman said of Farage: 'It's time he stopped chasing headlines and came clean with the public over the mountain of sleaze he and Reform UK are now drowning in'.
