Arsonists targeted Nigel Farage by pushing a firebomb through the letterbox of his home, the Reform Party leader has revealed.
Farage, 62, said the petrol bomb fortunately burnt out before causing any significant damage during the incident last year.
He has labelled the event as an ‘outright arson attempt’.
Farage recalled how the attack, which came at the start of 2025, occurred while he was not inside the property – with the politician discovering the damage only when he opened his front door.
Police have investigated, but as yet no suspects have been identified.
Speaking from Norfolk while currently touring the country ahead of local elections, Farage told The Telegraph that the attempted arson had not been the only attack he has experienced over recent months.
He said: ‘Sometimes things happen when there are cameras there, but there are plenty of times when things don’t make the news, like pints of beer being thrown over me or the attack on my home.
‘I also had to write off a car once because it was attacked by protesters when I was in it.’
