A speech being delivered by Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s right-wing Reform UK party, was interrupted late on Saturday when a banner of Russian president Vladimir Putin descended from the ceiling at an election rally.
Campaign group Led by Donkeys, which opposes Mr Farage’s views, said it was responsible for the stunt at the Columbine Centre, at Walton-on-the-Naze in southeast England, and posted a video of the unveiling on X.
