ENGLAND AND WALES, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 6 – Farage criticized same-sex marriage as 'wrong' and opposed 'woke' ideology while Reform UK surges in polls, potentially winning 271 seats, according to a YouGov survey.
- Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, declared on a recent LBC phone-in that it was wrong to introduce the 2013 Marriage Act without a manifesto.

- Farage's comments sparked strong backlash from LGBTQ+ advocates who called them 'a slap in the face' to couples who fought for marriage rights, while supporters say he represents concerns about cultural change.
- The controversy underscores persistent political and social divisions surrounding LGBTQ+ matters in the UK, with Reform UK gaining significant support as the upcoming general election approaches and opposing what it describes as a divisive and "woke" ideology.
