From 4d ago'Sometimes we will get things wrong,' says Farage in conference closing speechReform UK leader Nigel Farage has downplayed the controversies that overshadowed his party’s conference yesterday.“Much of mainstream media today says the Reform UK conference was subdued,” he told audience members in his closing remarks. “Are you subdued?”He continued:

double quotation markI tell you what we learned yesterday and today. There will be times in this journey when there are good days, and times when there are difficult days.

More often than not, things will be put upon us that are unfair. But sometimes we will make mistakes, sometimes we will get things wrong and get a bit of a kicking for it.

But what this conference has shown is whatever you throw at the leadership, whatever you throw at the people’s army, we immediately pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and start all over again.”
