POLL: Do you agree with Nigel Farage that Boris Johnson is a 'liar and hypocrite'?
Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have become embroiled in a furious row, but do you agree that the former Prime Minister is a "liar and hypocrite"? Vote and join the debate.
Nigel Farage has launched a brutal attack on Boris Johnson after the former Prime Minister accused the Reform UK leader of spreading "nauseating Kremlin propaganda".
The pair have clashed in a furious row after Mr Farage sparked backlash for arguing that the “ever-eastward expansion of NATO and the EU” had given Vladimir Putin a reason to justify his invasion of Ukraine.
The Clacton candidate condemned Putin’s actions in an article for The Sunday Telegraph as “immoral, outrageous and indefensible” but insisted he had been “consistently right and honest” about the conflict.
He added: “If you poke the Russian bear with a stick, don’t be surprised if he responds.’”
Mr Johnson shared the article on X and wrote: “This is nauseating ahistorical drivel and more Kremlin propaganda. Nobody provoked Putin. Nobody 'poked the bear with a stick'.”

He continued: “The people of Ukraine voted overwhelmingly in 1991 to be a sovereign and independent country. They were perfectly entitled to seek both Nato and EU membership.
“There is only one person responsible for Russian aggression against Ukraine – both in 2014 and 2022 – and that is Putin. To try to spread the blame is morally repugnant and parroting Putin’s lies.”
In response, Mr Farage told The Telegraph: “I predicted what happened in Ukraine, and I alone predicted what happened in Ukraine. I regret to say that I was right.
“But guess what, in 2016 Boris Johnson said the EU caused the war in Ukraine by expanding. So what kind of hypocrite is this man? It sums up the Conservative Party – no principle, no real policy, just short-term changing of views with the wind.”

He continued: “I have been utterly consistent, I’ve never changed my view, I’ve been the only British figure that had foreign policy right. These people are just not fit to govern.”
Commenting further on X on Monday morning, June 24, Mr Farage wrote: “Boris, you are a liar and a hypocrite. I am glad you are no longer prime minister of this country.”
