UK Reform leader Farage speech interrupted by banner mocking Putin views

Led By Donkeys, a campaign group known for political stunts, displayed a banner featuring Vladimir Putin and the caption "I Nigel" at a rally led by the Reform UK leader.
The banner, showing Putin giving a thumbs-up with the words "I Nigel," descended from the ceiling during Farage's speech without him initially noticing.
Farage only became aware of the banner after audience members started laughing, prompting him to inquire, "Who put that up there?" and suggesting someone at the Columbine Centre should be fired.
