Nigel Farage’s Substack Essay Claims Britain Is a ‘Two-Tier State’ Against White People

On Sunday, Reform UK leader and Clacton MP Nigel Farage published his first Substack essay, titled *Britain Is a Two-Tier State – Against White People*. He argues the state no longer works for everyone and describes a ‘deeply anti-white racism’ across housing, health, education, policing and the workplace. The essay calls for repealing the Equality Act and for foreign nationals in social housing to receive a three-month grace period to move to private rental, after which they could lose residence rights and face deportation.

Farage cites the murder of student Henry Nowak, who died while handcuffed by police, as evidence of unequal treatment. The killer, Vickrum Digwa, claimed a racist attack, a claim presented without independent verification.

Farage argues that government policies ‘tackle inequalities in a narrow sense’ and that measures disadvantaging minorities are enforced while those perceived to harm White British are ignored. Reform MP Suella Braverman, who praised the essay and said she is proud to read it, reiterated her belief that white people are treated more unfairly than non-white people. Labour Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey both condemned the piece as inflammatory; Nandy described Farage’s remarks as ‘nasty hate and anger’ that distract from economic challenges, while Davey likened him to the ‘Enoch Powell of the social media age’ and warned his agenda threatens tolerance.

The essay presents Digwa’s claim of a racist attack without independent verification, and Farage’s housing proposal remains a policy proposal with no legislation enacted. Opposition figures contest the claim of systemic anti-white bias, showing a lack of consensus. Farage announced plans to publish a ‘long essay’ each month on Substack, while the upcoming Makerfield by-election, highlighted by Nandy, may influence the political context. Reform UK’s ability to implement the reforms depends on future electoral outcomes.
