Jeremy Clarkson is not a fan of Nigel Farage.Jeremy Clarkson has launched an outspoken attack on Nigel Farage’s plans for the economy.The former Top Gear presenter said the Reform UK’s leader’s “numbers don’t add up” so he just talks about immigration instead.Reform’s manifesto for the last general election was widely criticised for promising £70 billion of tax cuts alongside a massive boost in government spending.Writing in The Sun, Clarkson said: “Nigel Farage rarely talks about the economy and when he does, his numbers don’t add up. He says he wants to cut taxes and increase spending by £150bn. Huh?“But before anyone can question his logic, he scuttles back to his safe space and starts raging about small boats.”According to The Times, Farage has now ditched his tax cut plans as he tries to present Reform as a fiscally responsible party.He told the paper: “At the next election, we will present a rigorous and fully-costed manifesto.“Reform will never borrow to spend, as Labour and the Tories have done for so instead, we will ensure savings are made before implementing tax cuts. I will have more to say on all this in the coming weeks.”Clarkson’s criticism of Farage is perhaps unsurprising, given his fierce opposition to Brexit and its supporters.Writing in his Sunday Times column in February, he said: “It’s not so bad if they put their hands up and admit they made a mistake. But if I encounter someone who still thinks it was all a brilliant idea, I get so cross my hair catches fire and my teeth start to itch.”He added: “Brexit hasn’t made our lives better in any way that I can see.”Related...
