"Gutted I couldn't attend the wedding. I wanted to come, but I heard that half the guests were Welsh, and I don't know. Who knows what would have happened with all those foreign speakers there. I don't know."
"Farage's use of the platform has already come under intense scrutiny after a Guardian investigation revealed he had recorded videos supporting a rioter, repeating extremist slogans, and endorsing a neo-Nazi event."
"Farage's comment in the video risks damaging Reform's campaign to take control of the Senedd, the devolved Welsh parliament, which is now run by Labour, in elections in May."
Nigel Farage recorded a personalized wedding message on Cameo, a platform where celebrities sell recorded video messages, in which he described Welsh people as foreign speakers. The video, made in July 2025 for a £106 fee, contained two versions of the same message where Farage expressed reluctance to attend a wedding with Welsh guests. This discovery follows a Guardian investigation revealing Farage had previously recorded videos supporting a rioter, repeating extremist slogans, and endorsing a neo-Nazi event on the platform. The remarks pose significant challenges for Reform UK's campaign to gain control of the Senedd, Wales's devolved parliament, ahead of May elections currently governed by Labour.
