Donations to the RNLI have soared by £200,000 in 24 hours following angry comments made by Nigel Farage.

The lifeboat charity says there has also been a270 per cent increase in people viewing volunteering opportunities on its website.

It comes former UKIP leader, Nigel Farage, said it was being used as a “taxi service for illegal trafficking gangs”, provoking outrage on social media.

The comments, which he reaffirmed on his GB News segment, were covered by newspapers including the Daily Mail, but received backlash from the charity.

In a statement the RNLI insisted it was its mission to “save lives at sea . . . without judgment of how they came to be in the water”.

They added: “We want to be absolutely clear that we are incredibly proud of the humanitarian work our volunteer lifeboat crews do to rescue vulnerable people in distress.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.

If you can afford to contribute a small donation to the site it will help us to continue our work in the best interests of the public. We only ask you to donate what you can afford, with an option to cancel your subscription at any point.
