Nigel Farage targeted by protesters, Newcastle restaurant shutters forced to close
Anti‑Reform protesters attack Nigel Farage in a Newcastle dish, shutting the restaurant.

On 31 January 2026 Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was targeted by a wave of anti‑Reform protesters during a visit to a high‑profile restaurant in Newcastle‑upon‑Tyne. The protester group, calling themselves "The Reform Revoke Club", pressed the owner to close the venue’s shutters and demand Farage’s departure. Farage had just returned from a campaigning trip to the Gorton & Denton area in Manchester, a distance of roughly 150 miles from Newcastle. The restaurant, a popular dining spot for locals and tourists, temporarily shut its shutters in response to the demonstrators’ pressure. The incident underscores the growing hostility faced by leaders of the Reform UK party amid growing political polarization.
