Keir Starmer should be ashamed. If anything happens to Nigel Farage, blood will be on the PM's hands - Kelvin MacKenzie

Even when the street assault had stopped the thug continue to follow the pair abusing George until the police turned up.

Why would teenaged George be the subject of a physical attack? You have to look back to the last week of September to find the genesis of this violence. To the Labour Party conference which had been overshadowed by the exit of Rayner and Mandelson.

Starmer, desperate to stop his party’s poll rating falling into the teens and his own position becoming untenable, decided to deploy the R word at high-flying Reform.

Starmer, probably the worst Prime Minister of our time, and statically the most unpopular, thought by describing Reform’s policies for stopping the boats and kicking out illegals, as racist he would find favour with the voters.

As you might expect he actually went down in the polls from around 22 per cent to 19 per cent. But his crazed supporters would have looked at the R word as a signal from the Prime Minister that violence, while not attractive, could be sanctioned in special cases.

That moment came in Nuneaton. You see, George isn’t any 19-year-old. He has a wise head on those young shoulders.

As a youngster he wanted to go to university to study history and then become a teacher. But he didn’t like the curriculum and believed universities to be a "conveyor belt for socialist wokeism." He got that right.

Having heard Reform MP Lee Anderson speaking, he quit the Tories, joined Nigel Farage’s party, stood in the Warwickshire County Council election this year and unbelievably ended up as the nation’s youngest ever council leader.

And right into the world of danger which Starmer must have known when he used the word racist.

I think George speaks for all politicians on the Right when he said: “Reform activists at all levels are suffering intimidations and violence at the hands of left-wing instigators.

“The politicians they follow know this, but willingly allow it to happen. They have a duty to speak out and quell the increased threat faced to by my friends and colleagues.”

Wise words but I guarantee they will be ignored. I really fear for Nigel Farage in this world. Only a month ago Charlie Kirk was assassinated in the US, over the last two decades two MPs have been murdered and the fact that Labour MP Stephen Timms is still around is a miracle following his knife attack in his East London constituency.

Everywhere Farage goes he is surrounded by personal security. There is a photo in The Times taken in Caerphilly where Reform has a sporting chance of winning the by-election on October 23.

It’s not Farage’s purple trousers and hacking jacket which took my eye, but the size of his security detail. At least four with probably more in the background.He is in danger from madmen (and it will be a man) who are triggered off by Starmer and the Greens leader Jack Polanski who labelled him as a “fascist”.

Supposing there was a Trump like attack on Farage what would Starmer say? Crocodile tears would flow I suspect. Theres a robot-like quality to Starmer (it’s what attracted him to the law) where emotion plays no part but is replaced by a simple assessment: What’s in it for me?

I hate to put it like this, but no Farage on the scene makes Labour’s chances of not being destroyed in the next General Election so much easier.

Tomorrow, Fayaz Khan, 26, an asylum seeker from Afghanistan, will be sentenced for making threats against Farage and for entering the country illegally.

Khan, who has an AK-47 tattooed on his face, threatened to shoot Farage in a TikTok video after he criticised Khan’s plan to cross the Channel in a small boat.

There are nutters out there. Starmer is encouraging them for personal gain.

Blood will on his hands if anything happens to Nigel Farage.
