Nigel Farage shared a photo to prove he was in Clacton and got owned into next week – 15 top takedowns
One of Twitter’s favourite games these days, apart from deadnaming X and sharing Bluesky and Threads addresses, is ‘Where’s Farage?’ – and like that other Wally, he can be very easy to find, if you know where to look –

Sniffing around Donald Trump
Other speaking engagements in the US
In short, not Clacton – and certainly not in a face-to-face surgery with his constituents.

He recently ruined the game by posting a location update – from Clacton.
It didn’t make the point he seemed to think it was making, since what people have been asking him to do is – well – his actual job. The one the taxpayers are funding.
The reactions were as unimpressed as you’d expect. The language is sometimes NSFW.

You're going to visitor attractions because that's what you are – ask your constituents when they last went down the arcade on the front

When visiting your own constituency is such a special occasion that it deserves a picture (that looks like you're doing lines of coke).

Imagine having to announce every time you’re in your constituency because you’re hardly ever there…#AnywhereButClacton https://t.co/nIQ8dO2Mch

Do you know, there are 649 other MPs in parliament that don’t post Ai generated selfies from their constituencies.
They just go there, hold surgeries and meet people.
649 MPs who work hard and don’t feel the need to virtue signal when they’re doing the job they’re paid for.

Odd looking place for a constituency surgery.
Looks a little more like a cheap photo opportunity.
I bet his driver didn't even turn the engine off on his car before leaving Clacton again. https://t.co/mNeZvcS9yH— Gordon McIntosh ✨ #FBPE (@Gordy_Mc1ntosh) November 16, 2024
