Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK and newly elected MP for Clacton, has sparked controversy by calling for a referendum on the UK's membership in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) during his maiden speech in the House of Commons.
Farage argues that exiting the ECHR is essential for controlling illegal migration and has criticized the current Parliament for being too inclined towards rejoining the European Union. His call for a 'fun' referendum on the matter has drawn attention nationwide, amidst discussions on the UK's future relationship with European institutions post-Brexit.
Farage's comments come as debates about the UK's sovereignty and immigration policies continue to be hot topics in British politics.
