‘I don’t want Nigel Farage to come to my house’: Unpacking Reform’s energy bills draw

“Do you want Nigel Farage to come to your house?” This is the question posed by Reform’s shadow (shadow... shadow) secretary Robert Jenrick in a video announcing a website called ‘Nigel cut my bills’, which offers to pay off the energy costs of an entire street for a year.

But what’s really behind this generous offer? In this clip from In The Room, ex-politicos Helen MacNamara and Cleo Watson break down political stunts, and discuss their own experience within them.

New episodes of In The Room drop every Friday. Listen to the latest episode, ‘Is Nigel Farage really going to pay your bills?’, on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or watch on YouTube.
