Nigel Farage clashed with Laura Kuenssberg on BBC One's Sunday show over his 2016 referendum warning that Turkey was being rushed into the European Union. The presenter repeatedly told the Reform UK leader the claim had never been accurate, noting Turkey remains outside the bloc. Farage refused to back down, arguing the EU had wanted Turkish membership quickly and that Britain paid billions in aid.
