Farage to challenge Burnham on Brexit, nationalization

Burnham, speaking at the Labour conference in Liverpool, proposed exploring various options for Britain's future ties with Brussels, which Reform UK interprets as a potential pathway to rejoining the EU and even adopting the Euro. Farage plans to argue that such a move would restrict the UK's sovereignty, specifically its ability to nationalize essential industries, a stance that marks a departure from traditional conservative positions.

While Farage has also criticized Burnham's proposals regarding the state pension's "triple lock," his focus on the EU relationship is seen as a direct challenge in a city like Doncaster, which voted overwhelmingly to leave the EU in 2016. The speech is expected to address the implications of electoral reform as well, a topic that has also drawn attention from Farage's party.
