This makes me proud to be British Thank you @mrjamesob for exposing @NickFerrariLBC for being a coward of a journalist & underscoring how @Nigel_Farage political legacy will always be the #FaragesRiots despite #Brexit & how he humiliated himself by supporting @realDonaldTrump .🙏

It's rare that James O'Brien and Nigel Farage are in the same room. So when the Reform UK leader was leaving the LBC studios after his phone-in with Nick Ferrari, @mrjamesob delivered a one-of-a-kind handover.
