Nigel Farage was booed at a Reform UK rally in Plymouth after mistakenly calling the city Portsmouth. Talking about the local fishing fleet during his 100 Days to Save Britain tour, he quickly apologised and joked that Portsmouth was very small. More than 100 protesters gathered outside the venue, while Farage promised a national emergency, tax cuts and a possible stake in South West Water.
