Where’s Nigel?

So, to lighten the mood somewhat, has anyone seen Nigel Farage of late?

Someone a week or so ago stated he’s always in Clacton on Fridays? Is he? Doing what, I ask myself? He doesn’t run surgeries or any kind of meet up or run general meetings with his constituency members, ever.

He last managed to turn up at Westminster on June 3rd, for PMQT, however prior to that he last attended a parliamentary vote on 18th March, having now (allegedly) missed 77 consecutive votes.

What is (or isn’t) this man doing to earn his not insubstantial MP salary?

Is this really the kind of politician our country needs? Are his supporters truly deluded enough to believe this man is PM material?

But, of course, it does matter! Some decent specs and a smart suit so the new PM looks the part to represent the UK on the world stage (which were declared) is very different to a £5million bung (which was not declared) to persuade a reluctant man to stand for parliament so that he can represent the interests of a man who live in Thailand.

And you think Starmer was too poor to provide those items for himself?

Attempt to distract from Farage. That question has nothing at all to do with Farage's £5 million.

Not the issue though is it? They were declared and Farage's £5million was not.

Is that some kind of joke connected to specs? confused

Ha ha! Wish I had been clever enough to have meant that!

Your post did make me smile 🙂
