Farage pauses Cameo account for security reasons, says Reform UK
Farage paused Cameo after videos revealed links to a far-right event and messages to a convicted man; he earned over £80,000 on the platform, Reform UK said.
- On Friday, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage stopped offering personalised videos on Cameo following a Guardian investigation into his platform activity since joining in April 2021.
- The investigation analyzed over 4,000 clips, alleging Farage filmed content supporting a neo-Nazi event, repeated extremist slogans more than 20 times, and made misogynistic remarks about politicians.
- Controversial clips include Farage endorsing the 'Road Rage Terror Tour,' a group linked to Diagolon, and charging £155 for a message to a man sentenced for a far-right riot.
- Defending the record, a Reform spokesperson stated Farage 'paused his use of the platform over security concerns' and maintained the videos were recorded in good faith.
- Political backlash followed, with Liberal Democrat Home Affairs Spokesperson Max Wilkinson condemning the 'shameless Cameo cash grab,' while Welsh Labour rebuked Farage for insulting Wales.
