The claim
A video posted on the social media platform TikTok shows a photograph of political activist Tommy Robinson alongside footage of Nigel Farage. In the video, the Reform UK leader says: “Because I respect him for his courage. The guy has got guts, the guy’s got balls – he stands up and fights for the right values.”
Original publisher’s rating
Despite the placement of the image suggesting Nigel Farage’s comments were about Tommy Robinson, he was instead praising Donald Trump in the footage taken from an interview conducted in October 2024. Earlier this year, Mr Farage publicly criticised Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
