Labour ads use NHS to attack Farage's views before major Reform rally
Briefly

Labour has launched a significant campaign against Nigel Farage ahead of key elections, particularly focusing on his controversial views about the NHS. As Farage prepared for a major rally in Birmingham, Labour put up numerous billboards and ran ads highlighting his expressed desire to change the NHS funding model. While Farage claims support for free healthcare at the point of use, Labour warns that his ideas resemble a US-style healthcare approach. This scrutiny marks a tactical escalation in the political landscape as both parties gear up for crucial votes on May 1.
Farage is a gifted political orator but soundbites will only carry you so far. It's time for some scrutiny over what he believes and would do.
Labour argues that Farage would oversee a US free-for-all while he insists on a top-up system similar to parts of continental Europe.
Labour paid for nearly a dozen billboard posters around the city with messages about Farage's talk on replacing the NHS with an insurance-based healthcare system.
The chosen territory for now is the NHS, with Labour seeking to draw attention to Farage's previous hints that he would prefer a different model.
