Moment Rachel Reeves hits back at flag heckler calling her a ‘piece of s***’

Nigel Farage has offered to buy a pint for a man who shouted that the Chancellor is a ‘piece of s***’ to her face.

Rachel Reeves was filmed trying to ignore a Reform UK supporter yelling abuse as she tried to do a piece to camera at a petrol station in Leeds.

The man in a truck, flying two St George’s flags, repeatedly shouted over her, causing her take to be ruined.

The driver yelled: ‘Nigel Farage, go on Nigel,’ before telling her: ‘You’re ruining the country. Get Keir Starmer out.’

As he drove off, he continued: ‘I’ve got British flags on. Am I going to get arrested? We’ve got English flags on here, Rachel, am I going to get arrested?’

Ms Reeves responded: ‘I love our country. I love our country – and one of the things about our country is good manners.’

He is then heard yelling ‘piece of s***’, at her, before she shouted back ‘Not very British’.

Regaining composure, Reeves joked with reporters: ‘I don’t think he heard the news about the freeze in fuel duty.’

It took moments for the clip to be posted online before Nigel Farage weighed in, adding: ‘I’d like to buy this man a pint.

‘Does anyone know how I can find him?’

The clash came as Labour faces mounting pressure following heavy losses in recent local and devolved elections, raising fresh questions about Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership.

Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister confirmed the 5p per litre fuel duty cut, first introduced in March 2022, will be extended until the end of the year.

That means duty will remain at just under 53p per litre, with previously planned rises now scrapped.

Fuel prices have surged in recent months, with petrol up around 26p per litre and diesel up 44p since late February amid disruption linked to tensions in the Middle East.

Ms Reeves said the move would give families and businesses ‘certainty’.

‘This isn’t a war we started or joined,’ she said. ‘But it is having an impact here in the UK… and I recognise the challenges people are facing.’
