"Farage had planned to walk to the seafront as part of the launch of his party's local elections campaign in Suffolk. But after protesters went to the scene, holding banners and chanting, a party spokesman said the event was cancelled following security advice."
"Cummings said statements Farage had made about making 'Britain greater again' had resonated with her. Turpin said she felt '50-50 with Farage - some stuff I agree with, some stuff I don't'."
"Hussan Jamil, who said he was a healthcare assistant, a Muslim and an immigrant, believed he was 'everything that Farage loves' but felt that Farage 'hates us and is trying to kick us out'."
"Sarah Fitch, one of the protesters, said there was a lot of 'misunderstanding' of Reform's policies and that national politics had overtaken the conversation in local politics."
Nigel Farage's planned walkabout in Felixstowe for his party's local elections campaign was canceled after protesters gathered, prompting security advice. The local elections on 7 May will include Suffolk County Council and Ipswich Borough Council. Supporters expressed mixed feelings about Farage's statements, while a protester highlighted misunderstandings of Reform's policies. Farage later spoke to an audience of 900 at Trinity Park, where a conservative group leader announced his defection to Reform.
