Politics brian cox nigel farage
Laura Kuenssberg seemed to think Brian Cox was giving Farage a compliment, until he set her straight in no uncertain terms
After being called out for his many faults right to his face by the brilliant Congressman Jamie Raskin in the US last week, Nigel Farage may have been hoping for a better review now that he’s back on home ground.
Unfortunately for him, and happily for the rest of us, the actor Brian Cox – so, not the professor – was a guest on Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg, and he wasn’t in the mood to mince his words.
Brian Cox: "I find Nigel Farage very venal… he's selfish & on the hole he's quite uninformed… I just don't trust the man… there's never been a more positive time that we need to be in Europe…"#bbclaurak pic.twitter.com/XKsBkpMVxY

It looks like Ms Kuenssberg thought ‘incredible’ was meant to be a compliment, which would have been the scoop of the century. Viewers enjoyed seeing Brian Cox demolish the absentee MP for Clacton.

Brian Cox bang on as per re Nigel Farage
The working class majority who fell for Brexit are still falling for his BS now. Same people paying the price for that mistake will suffer most under Reform, benefit cuts etc etc..

Brilliant.
Agree on Farage being selfish, but let’s be clear.
Europe is a continent, not a political club.
We’ll always be Europeans – the EU isn’t required for that.

Kuenssberg thinking she had bagged a scoop by misinterpreting… 'Brian… you said he is an incredible person!'

Wasn't going to watch #BBCLauraK because that grifting traitorous wanker is on *shocker
But then saw #BrianCox was on, so now watching for his comments on that grifting traitorous wanker. #FarageTraitor #FarageTaxDodger @bbclaurak pic.twitter.com/b1irSmm1tb— SUZI (@RebelDiamond_) September 7, 2025

"Why can’t they see what’s happening "
Same reason as the Jim Jones people drank the Kool-Aid.
Same reason as the MAGAs will follow Trump down the toilet. https://t.co/VPGgI63XZ5

So true. The great lie was Brexit. But those who fell for that lie now fall for another … https://t.co/n8x6xfnGSb

Marilu Valentino pulled no punches, either.
Why is the BBC promoting Farage with that ridiculous huge air brushed photo of him pretending to be PM? He is a fascist who has already done untold harm to Britain with Brexit & should he get into power will destroy Britain in the same way Trump has destroyed America. https://t.co/T9S9FacJFM
