Farage backtracks on claim he was advised not to hold constituency surgeries

Dotty Dorries didn’t turn up anywhere for about a year but was still troughing it along with her over-paid daughters.
This ‘not turning up for work’ but still getting handsomely paid is becoming a joke, it certainly wouldn’t wash in industry.
And as for accepting bribes (except they spell it as gifts) makes my piss boil…no other public sector worker is allowed to accept a bean!
Unfortunately nothing will ever change as those accepting the bribes are the only ones who can change the system & hell will freeze over before that ever happens.

Surely, though, no one, not even people who voted for him expected him to appear in the constituency?
I would assume that they voted for him on the "stop the boats" card and expected him to be working on this at a higher level.
In there any info on whether the people of Clacton are bothered about him not being there?
I would imagine that vast swathes of people in Clacton are used to being ignored. It's such a shame, they could really do with an MP who would look after them locally.

He's a smoker. That's probably why he looks years and years older than he actually is.

I can't believe he is only 60. I keep wishing he would fuck off (and die) but he's too young to wish that on.

I suppose he's in for another fat pension when he gets bored and stands down. He is expected to be in receipt of a pension of £73k pa from the European Parliament when he reaches 63 (60 now).

Nope. Under a couple of specific circumstances there could be a recall petition but that requires a criminal conviction (I think with a minimum amount of prison time) and/or a suspension from parliament of at least 10 days (I think it's 10). But he doesn't meet either of those so they are stuck with their "man of the people" who "tells it like it is" 🙄 while not actually being available.

Unfortunately, his constituents have got exactly what they voted for.

Exactly. This was entirely predictable. My sympathy is largely limited to the residents of Clacton who voted for the other candidates.

Unfortunately, his constituents have got exactly what they voted for.

I don't think there is much accountability tbh, other than to boot him out at the next election. Unless he commits a crime or gets suspended from Parliament for something etc, I don't think a recall petition can be triggered.

It should really be possible for constituents to trigger the petition for a crap MP that isn't doing their job.

If nothing else, hopefully the people of Clacton will finally see him for what he is.

Is there any recourse on this? Can he be held accountable in any way?
