Politics Lib Dems nigel farage
Nigel Farage’s maiden Commons speech was exactly as you’d expect and the look on this Lib Dem MP’s face surely spoke for us all
Along with the Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour landslide, the election also saw 5 Reform UK MPs elected to the House of Commons for the first time.
And when Parliament returned this week it meant Nigel Farage got to speak in the Commons for the first time as Lindsay Hoyle was re-elected as the House speaker.
And Farage’s debut was all you’d expect of the man – and less.
Farage proving what a classless twat he really is. #OneTrickPony

It prompted no end of reaction, as you might imagine – this person sums it up pretty well.
Nigel Farage, in his first House of Commons speech, describes John Bercow as the “little man” who “did his best to overturn the biggest democratic result in the history of our country”.

And we mention it because of the look on new Lib Dem MP James MacCleary’s face, highlighted in this post by Mark Kieran, and it surely speaks for us all.

Nailed it, sir!
Imagine having to be stuck behind that windbag every Wednesday.

Maybe James will engineer a tactical switch of position before these positions become set!

To conclude …
Just when I thought I couldn't love the LibDems any more, they're the party that just keeps on giving #LibDems https://t.co/99aDoYqGMi
