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.

What kind of website is this using the word "Labor"

Yes.
It is who is paying for the trips and what do they want from Farage that is interesting.

Yes. Ours was out all night when the Huntingdon train incident took place. He’s a prime example of exactly what a hardworking, responsible MP should be. It actually pains me to say this because I deplore his party but he’s everything you could ask for on a constituency basis - and the complete opposite of Farage.

It's here:

He does a lot of speaking. This trip is :

Name of payer
The Club for Growth
Address of payer

Date registered
19 February 2026

• Payment
• £27,856.88
• Hours
• 12 hours - This is an estimate

Flights etc no idea. What they want, no idea. But payments need to be logged.

Edit add - If he don't have a US work visa, call ICE :-)

He really fancies himself tripping across the Atlantic, doesn't he!

Wish I could get that much from 12 hours work.

I think Sunak earns quite a bit but donates it all to homeless charities

Yes, my gay & disabled / unable to work SIL being one of them.

Turkeys voting for Christmas:…

Just like in Reform run Northampton, where they have announced that free parking for disabled Blue Badge holders in local authority car parks is to be scrapped. The have stated that people should pay for the services they are getting.

@blossomtoes , I’m pretty sure MPs are not expected to work 7 days a week. I’m glad you have a great MP, I’d like to think most would react as yours did under those circumstances but expecting them to never have a day off is deeply unreasonable.

😱! Even my bankrupt council that charges upwards of £4ph, gives free disabled parking. Wow!

Expecting to work whenever required is not quite the same as never having a day off. As a bare minimum they should be in the Commons when it’s sitting and hold constituency surgeries. Farage has more days off than he works by quite a margin.

Farage missed all 10 meetings about Clacton regeneration

He’s a disgusting grifter and should never have got anywhere near Parliament .

MPs ought to be required to attend a certain amount of days in Parliament, and hold a certain number of surgeries in their constituency every week/ month (whatever measurement works - those who know what the job should be better could surely set this easily).

It shouldn’t be a “do however much and whatever you feel like” job, not when people’s taxes pay for it.

Farage is not the common man, has nothing in common with his constituents, and exists to further increase the wealth of billionaires at the expense of the working class.

Only an insanely gullible person would vote for his “Reform” vehicle.

NF is going to Mar a Lago to speak with DT about the UK not gifting away the Chargos Islands then paying millions to rent them back. It wouldn't have been necessary if our hopeless PM wasn't hell bent on gifting them away. He's also going to attempt damage limitations about relationships with US and UK.

Is he hell. He's gone to exploit divisions. Not patch them up.

Who is paying for his trip?

What difference do you think it will make? He’s not in a position to influence anything - and hopefully never will be.

This was a process started by the Tories years ago, all fully in motion from then. Many of his MPs / “shadow” 🤣 cabinet are ex-Tories.

He appears to be in Clacton fairly regularly:

He doesn't hold surgeries for his constituents. The ones he's paid to represent.

Writing a column in the local paper can be done from anywhere, by anyone.

It’s ridiculous Nigel Farage wanted out of eu to take back control and now he wants to hand that control over to America 🤷‍♀️ all the “sponsors” want something and they all seem to be coming from other nationals

My second link says he held a business surgery in January.

Holding a surgery can be done from anywhere. My local MP does it all by phone and email
