UMVA has learned that Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, was spotted leaving a posh private members’ club in London after facing widespread backlash for his comments on the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak.
Farage called for ‘pure, cold rage’ in response to Nowak's death, which he blamed on a culture of ‘anti-white prejudice’ in a video that preceded rioting in Southampton. His comments were described as ‘unforgivable’ by Sir Keir Starmer, who accused Farage of ‘only pretending’ to care about Nowak’s family.
After being booed by MPs at PMQs on Wednesday over the claims, Farage was seen leaving the exclusive Oswald's in Mayfair, a club known for its wine bar and cigar terrace. He was flanked by security as he left the central London venue.
The night before, police clashed with protesters who were pushing towards the home of Henry’s killer, Vickrum Digwa. Eleven officers were injured and two men have been charged in connection with the unrest.
The Prime Minister said there was ‘no justification for more violence and disorder’ following the demonstrations, adding: ‘This is a time for serious work, not rage.’
Henry was stabbed to death in December 2025 by 23-year-old Digwa, who used a knife he claimed he was carrying as part of his Sikh faith. In bodycam footage, police officers can be seen handcuffing the teenager as he died.
Henry’s family called his treatment ‘inhumane and degrading’ and said they would be carrying their grief ‘every single day.’ His father said: ‘We do not want Henry’s murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension.’
Farage said in a video that the officers involved in the teenager’s arrest were part of a system where the ‘rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities’ and said Henry had been ‘treated in a way that meant an accusation of a racial slur was treated more seriously than an act of murder.’
