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?

Ooh and I’m watching the news and Nige has popped up here stating “Reform ready for a GE”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was assuming that he was hiding in Clacton, where nobody would expect to find him, but maybe he goes to Singapore on Fridays to pick up more bribes money.

The least I see of him the better!

His constituents would like to know where he is too, he has spent more time in the US smarming up to Trump than in his constituency. Not sure he goes there on a Friday unless that is just to do a supermarket shop and put on the water sprinklers.
He is just a gobby little man who fell on the right side of history and is capitalising on that.

Nigel is busy sending emails to demand a general election. So following the example of Andy Burnham in the same circumstances.

Can you imagine him as PM- he’d have to turn up to the HoC occasionally.
