George Finch, 19, says he was called a ‘racist’ and ‘fascist’ during incident in Warwickshire on Friday
The Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, has criticised “disgraceful” rhetoric from the Labour and Green parties after the UK’s youngest council leader was allegedly assaulted.
George Finch, 19, the Reform leader of Warwickshire county council,said he was called a “racist” and a “fascist” before being allegedly assaulted on Friday.
The alleged attacker “was wound up and sent into battle by the dangerous rhetoric of Labour and the Greens”, Finch told the Daily Mail. He said the attack didn’t cause any lasting injury.
Farage said he was “deeply upset” about the incident and “the words used against him echo the prime minister’s disgraceful attack on Reform during Labour conference week and wholly irresponsible comments from the leader of the Green party”.
