Where is Nigel Farage?

His attendance record at the European Parliament was poor, so what did they expect.
I believe he's gone to hold his chum's hand in U.S. Was obviously needed.

No surprises there! I don’t think the people of Clacton will get much representation from their MP🤷‍♀️

If he gets a wage from his job at parliament he should be there or they should dock his pay ! Not good enough, Nige.

OTOH, perhaps the good people of Clacton are thrilled that their MP is visible on the world stage😆

Why continue to give Nigel Farage constant attention?

He is one of five of a small minority group in HoP, without the oxygen of publicity he will soon become unimportant.

He may be noisy, a good self publicist but totally unimportant in the scheme of U.K. politics.

Well, Tice is being interviewed every time I turn the tv on so it’s not true that Reform arent’t being given lots of air time. And, as ever he’s always talking over the person he’s being interviewed with. Is Farage actually being paid to be an MP while he’s swanning around in America? I’m afraid that having his friend Trump as president again will empower Farage.

I agree with you to a certain extent GrannyGravy. Farage is irrelevant in the great scheme of things.

However, he should be very relevant to his constituents. It’s his paid role as an MP to support and represent their concerns in the HoC. He’s clearly not doing that if he’s cosying up to Trump in the US.

Trump almost died people! Farage is a friend. Wouldn’t YOU go visit? I would.
Anyway he’s back home at the weekend. I hope every time NF leaves Clacton we’re not going to create a pile on!
Jeez.

He was planning to go long before that. He announced it on July 12th.

Farage, Johnson and Truss. What an impression to create.

Trump didn’t nearly die! He was grazed on his ear.

Farage is paid to represent Clacton and the surrounding areas, that’s where he should be or in Parliament, nowhere else until summer recess

What is people’s obsession with Mr Farage? He’s on a short visit to meet with Trump who will possibly be the next President and after the stupid comments by our new Foreign Secretary, I would say a visit by a ‘friend’ certainly won’t harm relations unlike Mr Lammy. I’m sure it will be more productive than Mr Starmer and his sidekick having a ‘jolly’ to watch England over the weekend, wouldn’t you say? So, how about focussing on what the new Government is actually doing now they’re in power rather than the usual Nigel Farage ‘gossip’?

Because he’s far more dangerous than many people seem to realise. And the people he mixes with politically are dangerous, too. If any other politician was so close to Trump people would be horrified. Except for those people who admire Trump and everything he stands for.

I do - have you not read the 100 days thread?

He’s probably supplying the plasters for Trumps ear!

I thank Nigel Farage for showing basic human compassion towards a friend. And I wish that our Foreign Secretary knew when to keep his mouth shut!

Well he was at the State Opening of Parliament yesterday. .

I can just imagine him explaining Clacton to Trump: "quaint little backwater......I think."

So are you happy to know that a British politician is friends with and has respect for a man such as Trump? It’s one thing having to have a working relationship with him politically but another thing to actually like and admire him and everything he stands for.

I am amused at the vanity of Farage, and Johnson, and Truss who seem to regard themselves as of such importance that they have to parade on the USA stage.

I have no time for either,(Farage or Trump) but I regard it as totally his business.

You are right.

The trouble is that it’s not just his business. He is, as has been said, being well paid to be an MP, which means he should not be rushing off to visit a “friend” like Trump while Parliament is sitting. He isn’t a close relative, as far as I know, and even that wouldn’t be a justification for visiting after Trump has suffered a minor injury. I have no time for either of them but agree with those who think that they are dangerous.

Farage, Johnson and Truss are keeping-their-hands-in.

Looking forward to the day when Britain returns to the Right. The hard-Right if Truss has her way.

They're networking.

And as we lurch from Right to Left and back again. It's only a matter of time. Because we are a very divided nation and there's no consensus on working together for the good of the country. The electorate will soon tire of Labour, it's inevitable, and back we will swing to the Right again.

Anyone who is a "friend" of Trump" should know that Trump only cares about himself, he has zero loyalty to anyone. I've just listened to " Trumped" on BBC sounds, the story of Trump building a golf course in Scotland. Salmond and the Scottish parliament got well and truly burned by him. What a horrible selfish amoral man he is. Worth a listen.
