Nigel Farage has âall the features of a fascist politicianâ, Zarah Sultana has said. Ms Sultana, the MP for Coventry South and co-founder of Your Party, a new political party with Jeremy Corbyn, accused Mr Farage and his fellow Reform MPs of being âcommitted to peddling racismâ. When asked whether Nigel Farage can be compared to Hitler or Mussolini, Ms Sultana did not directly confirm the claim but also did not deny it, claiming that his actions make him âa dangerâ.
âI think itâs important that we stop a fascist Reform government,â Ms Sultana, who had been a prominent figure of the Labour left before she quit the party in July, added.

Ms Sultana said this during an interview for the BBCâs Political Thinking with Nick Robinson.
When challenged on her use of the word âfascistâ, Ms Sultana added: âWhen someone attacks trade union rights, when they are not supportive of minority communities, when they are trying to get us out of the ECHR [European Court of Human Rights] so they can get away with anything.
âWhen there is no state accountability, we can see whatâs happening across Europe, which is a descent into fascism.â
Mr Robinson then said she was comparing Mr Farage to âFranco, Mussolini and arguably Hitlerâ.
She replied: âI have legitimate concerns about what a Nigel Farage government would do to trade unionists, to working-class communities, to minority communities, to LGBT people.
âAnd what Iâve seen in government is Nigel Farage and his colleagues, like I said, vote against trade union rights, vote against anything that would actually help our working-class communities. So yes, heâs a danger.â
Mr Farage had not yet responded to her comments.
The MPâs claim comes following several bold statements from Ms Sultana. Last week, she called on Sir Keir Starmer to suspend all diplomatic relations with Israel and withdraw the UK from NATO.
In a tweet, she wrote: âNATO isnât about âpeaceâ or âsecurityâ. Itâs an imperialist war machine. Just look at Afghanistan and Libya⊠We must withdraw from NATO immediately.â
In the past, Ms Sultana also claimed that âPutin is a dictator and a gangsterâ but âZelensky isnât a friend of the working class eitherâ.
