What's really behind the rise of Nigel Farage and Reform UK
from Global Roaming with Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
When UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer came to power in 2024, he was seen as a safe, if slightly boring, pair of hands. Now, UK Labour is threatened by the return of an unlikely figure - the man known as the 'father of Brexit': Nigel Farage. Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald sit down with Channel 4 News anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy to chat about why Keir Starmer is failing to cut through, whether Reform UK could win the next election and what England's loss at the Boxing Day test reveals about the state of the country.Recommendations:Krishnan - Younger - TV series on Netflix Geraldine - My Brother's Band - FilmHamish - Tehran - TV series on Apple TV Get in touch:We'd love to hear from you!
