(Sky News) Nigel Farage has argued on Sky News that a “growing number” of young Muslims in the UK do not subscribe to British values.

The Reform UK honorary president told Sky News’s Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips: “We have a growing number of young people in this country who do not subscribe to British values.

“In fact, loathe much of what we stand for. I think we see them on the streets of London every Saturday.”

Asked if “we are talking about Muslims here,” Mr Farage said: “We are. And I’m afraid I found some of the recent surveys saying that 46% of British Muslims support Hamas — support a terrorist organisation that is proscribed in this country.”
