Where’s Nigel?

Mister F is squirrelled away in some tax haven counting his squillions given to him by donors who just love to give him money simply because they think he's a nice bloke with principles and a moral compass.........har!har!

Farage or his admin team are proactively sending out emails about Brexit and Reform seem very focused atm.

I am not a Nigel Farage gran fan but if he is on tv/radio giving interviews there are the complaints of he is always in the media

If he is not visible then we get where is Nigel Farage

Do you want to see, hear him or not 🤷‍♀️

I think the point is that he disappears when there is something "questionable" about his behaviour. In this case it's the £5million in his back pocket, at other times he's taking centre stage in the news but he's not seen in the HoC very frequently doing his day job for which he is paid by the tax payer.

He was on breakfast news ITV Tuesday

Farage is a man on a mission. He wants Brexit to be done properly and he is determined to see it through. Unlike May and Johnson. Must have been a bit galling for Farage to have enabled a Johnson victory for what exactly?

'Brexit done properly'. I have heard this a thousand times . I am still waiting to hear even one explanation what this would entail. The only mission Nigel Farage is on is Nigel Farage.

Sign up to his emails? Marmin Although atm it’s too hot to think….

As after 10 years of Brexit (well, 6 years of the actual divorce) voters seem to be more interested in returning to the EU than getting 'Brexit done properly' (whatever that vacuous phrase may mean) I think Farage is on a loser with his 'mission'.

I live in the South Wales valleys where there used to be lots of Farage supporters - 'Great bloke!' etc. Now when his name is mentioned I bring up the 5 million and there is a distinct cooling off from his fan club. It looks like his supporter base is diminishing. He was on Radio 4 yesterday morning, being harassed about the 5 million - beginning to sound like he knows he's backed himself into an unpopular place. We only had to wait!

Exactly my thoughts. You have expressed it perfectly.

I spotted this thread and it was 110 posts of yet more 'hate Farage' rants, as if we haven't heard it all before. I find it really strange that no-one seems worried about what any other MPs are doing, where are they, why are they not there etc? It's always Farage. So many grans seem obsessed with him, you begin to wonder if they have a secret crush. After all, he's very alpha male. 😚

Farage has repeatedly shown his contempt for the Parliamentary process whether it’s House of Commons procedure, his silly stunts, sitting in the members' gallery with Arron Banks, staging a walk out with the other Reform MPs just before Steve Reed announced a prohibition of crypto donations, not declaring his income and benefits on time or attending to his constituents.

He did the morning media round yesterday playing Mr Grumpy, telling a succession of broadcast journalists that the £5 million bung was none of their business. Perhaps he should read the Nolan Principles.

• Selflessness – Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest.

• Integrity – Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships.

•Objectivity – Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias.

• Accountability – Holders of public office are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this.

• Openness – Holders of public office should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing.

• Honesty – Holders of public office should be truthful.

• Leadership – Holders of public office should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour and treat others with respect. They should actively promote and robustly support the principles and challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs.

And while he might get away with this behaviour with journalists, the people who are and will be making this their business are the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Daniel Greenberg, the Commons Select Committee on Standards and … HMRC.

He’s change his story over this, one minute its a gift to pay for lifetime security,in which case it must be ring-fenced somewhere. A quick look at where it’s invested will show what money has been going out and to whom over the last two years.

The next it was a reward for campaigning for Brexit, a personal Brexit bonus it seems, in which case he’s looking at a fat tax bill plus interest for late payment and potential penalties. That could put a modest £2.5 million plus dent in it.

And what happened to the Russian phone hack story?

The thing about narcissists is that they are compulsive liars. Farage is no different; he’s been doing it for years. Those lies are catching up with him. He knows his time is almost up one way or another. One Westminster by-election defeat after another for Reform. He could be next of he’s suspended by the HoC and has to face a by-election himself. In 2024, more people in Clacton didn’t vote for him than did. Of those that did, they’ve now had two years of him being paid almost £100K a year as their MP while doing nothing for them.

If he’s grumpy, it’s of his own making. The writing’s on the wall.

On Brexit. Ten years on, a very large percentage of people who voted Leave, based on a tissue of lies and false promises, are now dead. They voted for something they wouldn’t live to see the repercussions of. Most people now realise what a terrible mistake it was.

British respondents to recent polling said leaving had hit their main priorities: the cost of living (66%), the economy (65%), youth opportunity (57%), illegal immigration (56%) and trade (56%). Even most leave voters (58%) said Brexit had made illegal immigration worse.

Asked to identify the primary benefits of Brexit, the most common response, by a wide margin, was “don’t know”, followed closely by “none of the above” – suggesting most British voters now feel Brexit did real damage for no apparent upside.

It's pretty obvious he has not disappeared. He's been on breakfast TV a lot lately, has answered the question about the £5 million several times and seems happy for it to be investigated. Let's just wait to see what the outcome is.

Meanwhile, back at the HoC, every time I see Farage there asking the PM something he gets a very rude and dismissive response and his question is totally ignored! It's really no wonder he doesn't go there very often.

Like GG13 I am not a Farage fan and have never voted for him. I just believe that MPs should treat each other with more respect.

Graphite thank you for your post. I had to abide by all those rules above in a much lowlier position than Farage.
There is no doubt in my mind that he is corrupt and self interest is first and foremost.

Oh dear 🤷‍♀️

"Total votes eligible: Farage was eligible to participate in over 206 votes since taking office.Votes attended: He has recorded a vote in 69 of those divisions.Recent activity: Records showed a streak of 77 consecutive missed parliamentary votes spanning through mid-2026, with his last recorded vote being against draft regulations for the Employment Rights Act on March 18."

Thank you AGAA4.

To Chestnut:

Until Farage asked a question on 3 June, he had not participated in House of Commons business since 25 March.

On 3 June, he deliberately tried to politicise the murder of Henry Nowak, something his family has expressly asked not to happen.

Watch here to see and hear the revulsion of other MPs on the opposition benches and Starmer’s response:

Please stop following my posts with silly emojis and disparaging comments. This is the third time.
I am as entitled to my opinion as you are.

The Government Brexit minister has apparently advised against trying to rejoin.

Yet he's top of all the polls and politicians/people MSM can't stop talking about him. Strange that. Starmer was obsessed with him couldn't wait to get the digs in at PMQs yet Farage is riding high and Starmer has been booted out of office by his own MPs.

What exactly does that mean to 'politicise' the murder of someone?

It's okay for Starmer & Co to politicise the murder of George Floyd is it?

On June 9, 2020, Sir Keir Starmer (who was the Leader of the Opposition at the time) took a knee alongside then-Deputy Leader Angela Rayner. They posted the photograph of the gesture inside a parliament building with the caption, "We kneel with all those opposing anti-Black racism". The act was done on the day of George Floyd’s funeral as a mark of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Have you checked the voting record for every other MP as well? or is this just an obsession with Farage?

The MP with the worst voting record in 2026 is Farage.

Its very easy to check as ayesandnoes.co.uk/stats/least-votes do the work for us.

Bar one Alliance MP, two SNP and one very new Green MP, Farage has the lowest voting record with only 170 votes recorded.

Next is Lowe (ex Reform), McMurdock (ex Reform) and Tice not far behind. Pochin is there too but she has only been an MP since May 2025, Even so, she has already voted more times than her leader.

My MP who was also elected in July 2024 has voted 394 times, more than twice as many times as Farage.

Personally, I like him to be visible doing the one job he’s paid to do. That’s servicing his constituency by both being there and in parliament.

I just don’t think it’s right for ANY serving MP of any party to have financial stakes in media companies of any type.

He really does show up on the tv/ radio/online far far more than he does doing his day job.

In my humble opinion, there’s something not quite right about his whole set up.
