To wonder what Nigel Farage is doing in the US

[Sidekick1]

On LBC he mentioned he spent all of yesterday outside a polling station in Pennsylvania, and today he was giving interviews 'ha ha haing' at various British journalists.

Is Parliament in recess? Why isn't he here, working as a MP?

They did

Members of the party did volunteer to go over there, but I do not think MPs were among them?

Let's hope he stays there. Fingers crossed!

Why do you care? The only people who should care are his constituents. Tbh it's a shame Labour mps don't spend more time abroad, they'd do less damage here.

He wasn’t sure where Clacton was, and took a wrong turning,

He's grifting and bum licking of course.

I disagree. Trump understands these kinds of trade negotiations smack talk.

The things people have time to care about 🙇🏻‍♀️

Avoiding doing what should be his actual job and generally grifting

At least someone in the UK parliament has a good working relationship with the incoming president. Probably slightly more useful to the UK than listening to the woes of Clacton residents’ gripes over their rubbish collections.

Perhaps Lammy could pop to Clacton and cover for him.

Staff - not MPs

Except then Trump didn't see him. It's odd because Parliament is not in recess and we pay his wages

Nah don't think so.

He's licking Trump's arse. They've been friends for years. Horrendous pair. They are well suited.

Hope he stays there and never comes back.

Perhaps they’ll keep him , they are welcome .

First comment nails it.

He was there supporting his mate and shoring up the friendship.

He's never had any intention of being a proactive MP.

Surely it's good for the UK that he's such good chums with the leader of the free world?

Keir and Co have screwed over the UK by alienating Trump, that's hardly in the UKs interest.

True. Especially when there's potential tariffs in the offing and funding for defence re NATO

Anyone thinking Farage holds any sway with Trump I think is going to be disappointed. At the rally Trump held a day or two back, Farage was introduced as “….from Europe” (lol)

Trump barely knows who he is and will be far too busy looking in the mirror at himself and on the golf course to be actively engaging with other countries; he wants tariffs on all imports which will damage the U.K. and many others, and those who are around him will be the ones implementing those policies, they won’t care or even know who Farage is.

So Farage will hoover up his MPs salary while doing absolutely zero for his constituents or those he represents, just as he did as an MEP.

Loads of MPs go off on fact finding trips or other bilateral visits (or even IACGMOOH)

It's up to their constituents really, how much of this they'll put up with

You think Trump will drop the tariffs if you admire his hair do? He blanked Gove and Johnson when they wanted a trade deal.

Me personally? I’m not in the US and have zero thoughts on a hair do. Someone said they liked Reeves’ hair on here the other day maybe it was that poster

On the flip side promoting legal action over Labour activists and flinging insults a la Lammy or Khan, and provoking Musk, is probably not the best way to deal with Trump
