Guess where Nigel Farage is! (Hint – it’s not Clacton) – 18 favourite comments as he pops up in the US again
You may remember that Nigel Farage, alleged MP for Clacton, has yet to hold in-person surgeries in the town, despite being caught out lying that the Speaker’s Office and Parliamentary Security team had advised him against it for his own safety.
Here’s how one constituent felt about their absentee MP, back in August.
How many other Clacton constituents are like Susan and unable to contact and get any work done by Nigel Farage due to his commitments in the US and riots in the UK? #Clacton #FaragesRiots pic.twitter.com/XLz8ZY7AMf

As Clacton residents twiddle their thumbs and consider their life choices, Farage has spent more time hosting his GB News show and jetting off to the US at other people’s expense – despite raking it in like Scrooge McDuck.

With US Election Day finally here, there’s nowhere else Farage could possibly be than across the pond, pretending to be a journalist.
Just landed in America with @GBNEWS.

He made his way to a Trump rally, complete with the international symbol for jackass, a MAGA hat.
He got his ego stroked by the man who completely ignored him when he rushed to be by his side after the Battle of Sanitary Pad Ear.
This is quite the moment. Brexit & Trump were twin movements: populist triumphs. But watch this. Trump & Farage redux ..only this time without the populism. Tiny crowds, no applause, a busted flush. Hoping hoping hoping it’s a sign

People were shocked that Farage, who took eight attempts to get into Parliament, would miss the important sessions taking place there.
Nah – just kidding. Nobody expects him to do his actual job.

Farage: apparently too risky to meet constituents but drinking in his local pub and flying to America is completely fine ✅
Anything but actual work

If only you put this much effort into your role as a constituency MP.
