Here's what Nigel Farage is up to this weekend.

[RobinInTheCrabApple]

Nigel Farage is flying more than 3,000 miles to speak at a pro-Trump U.S. think tank.

For around 12 hours’ work this Saturday the Reform UK leader is expected to collect £27,856.88 from the Club for Growth, a Washington-based anti-tax lobby group that has pledged to work closely with Donald Trump ahead of the 2026 U.S. midterms.

This group helped raise £120m for Republican candidates in the 2024 election.

So while people in Clacton deal with rising costs, poverty and cuts Farage is being paid the equivalent of many people’s yearly salary to give a single speech in America.

He claims UKIP sent a substitute to the meetings in any case.

I hope that wasn't Nathan Gill....

No he isn't actually - you have misquoted him on both counts. He certainly didn't say anything about women falsely claiming rape - some silly journalist at the Observer can't read.

I’m afraid he did. He also said that women have abortions for vanity and so they can shag anyone they want.

I’m afraid he did

Can you quote him directly on those points.

I understand he’s deleted the accounts. Unsurprisingly.

Why can't you quote on the specific allegations?

Whilst it’s unlike Farage not to turn up for a photo op, it’s still a fact that key votes were whilst Farage was a full member between 2009 and 2013.

For instance, the 2013 vote for the obligation on Member States to give more fishing quota to sustainable fishermen who create jobs and contribute the most to local, coastal economies.

He didn’t turn up for that one.

Well, Nigel won’t be able to flit around on these jollies when he is Prime Minister.

Do Starmer’s children retain the right to live and work in the EU without restriction?

As opposed to; do Farage’s children retain the right to live and work in the EU without restriction?

Well we know they do, despite their father campaigning to remove that same right from everyone else in the UK .

If you think an EU passport is about avoiding a queue at immigration then you’re being disingenuous at best.

I’ve just told you why.

Cat Neilan from the Observer claimed in her article that Kenyon suggested women falsely claim rape to terminate pregnancies. However she has misunderstood his post. She quotes;

“Don’t dole out the ‘what if someone is raped by their brother’ arguement [sic]...

He is clearly saying, don't use extreme or outlier examples to support your argument. I know I'm right - no other reputable news sources appear to be making the same claim as Neilan on this quote.

You are alright then with Kenyon's comments? Do you agree with Farage that it is 'locker room banter'?

Do Starmer’s children retain the right to live and work in the EU without restriction?

Is that what the majority of people want? I bet they would go for the hospitality box at Arsenal, meet Taylor Swift and use of a penthouse flat in Covent Garden.

Is there an alternative candidate who could possibly beat Andy Burnham?

Would accepting tickets and hospitality for a rugby game, the Jingle Bell Ball concert, and Ed Sheeran to spend time with your family be ok?

Is that a yes or a no to you being fine with Kenyon's locker room banter?

Don’t be ridiculous.

And thinking about it, if Kenyon is the best Reform can stand, then other candidates must have been even worse.

As long as I don't have to watch the rugby. I would go for the hospitality.

So those freebies for an MP are acceptable?

💯
He sounds and looks like a rabbit in the headlights whenever a simple question is asked.

Really?

Yes indeed.

Do you not think the right to work and live in the EU isn’t a huge plus for any UK graduate wanting to get a job in a multinational company?

Spoiler alert …

Labour have massively reduced immigration since they got in.
