Nigel Farage, honorary president of Reform UK, warned that Britain is moving towards 'sectarian politics' with women excluded in inner cities and towns.
Speaking at the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club in Dover, he criticized the Labour Party's engagement with Muslim leaders and called for Channel crossings to be declared a 'national security emergency'.
Farage defended his remarks about Muslims and rejected accusations of antisemitism and Islamophobia.
He also suggested the potential use of Royal Marines to return migrants to France.
The BBC later apologized for a presenter's comments on Farage's speech, which did not meet editorial standards on impartiality.
Farage's appearance marked his first intervention of the election campaign, emphasizing that voters should not waste their votes on the Conservative party.
