Farage has announced that he'll be making an announcement...

[Westfacing]

... an 'emergency' announcement, no less.

Presumably to announce he's finally plucked up courage to put his money were his big mouth is and stand for Parliament, after bottling it!

Exactly.

He's such a tit.

Wherever he chooses is going to be added to my list of place I refuse to live in because there are so many idiots that vote badly. (See also Uxbridge, North Somerset, wherever Johnathan Gullis is an MP)

Never underestimate the popularity or the longevity of Farage.

Ffs he crawled out of plane near me with barely a scratch. He got Brexit done and has been arousing the interests of hard right voters for years.

If only I was first responder to that plane...

Brexit done = Referendum = Brexit done.

Hes emigrating????

According to the Guardian's live coverage, he's taking back over from Tice as leader of Reform. They haven't said anything about standing as an MP yet though...

Could you explain why?
Reform isn't even a proper political party with a democratically elected leader. It is a private company which Farage owns 53% of.
He would be a terrible constituency MP just as he was a terrible MEP. He doesn't believe in service other than lining his own pocket. He would do nothing to help his constituents.
That's not even mentioning that his policies are terrible.
I honestly would like to know why you would like him to win a seat.

That's a good point about them not being a democratic party.

Standing for Clacton! The arsehole of the UK. How apt.
And taking over as head of Reform.

...ah no, there you go - he's going to stand in Clacton. Here's hoping it's 8th time unlucky...

Fantastic News - I hope Reform are fielding candidates country wide so his supporters across the country will help split the Tory vote and give Labour or even the Lib Dems a few more seats.

Would love the see the Lib Dems as the official opposition.

Standing for election in Clacton. In this instance probably with a good chance of getting elected. Feel for the people of Clacton really.

We have a Reform candidate, which was quite surprising. Don’t think we’ve had one before.

guess he wasn't shortlisted for that job in the US after all...

👏🏻

The Tories will heavily go for the seat he's running in and Labour will form a pact with the other parties. Labour will get the seat as a result.

They're calling Farage names.

Quite rightly.

He is a bigoted cunt.

The point is people have had enough of the lying fuckers that are the conservatives and the moronic Labour twats who think a women can have a penis.

Good luck to him, he’s got my vote.

(I’ll expect the usual abuse from mumsnet, the free speech site where no one can actually speak freely, unless you’re a leftie, without being shouted down as a moron).

@TabithaTimeTurn3r
Why on earth are you supporting Farage?

Any chance of an intellectual, political conversation or are you not capable?

Political commentators think that this will lead to electoral wipe-out for the Tories as Reform will take way more of their votes with him as leader, giving the seats to Labour/Lib Dems.

They also think Farage will win in Clacton.

Because we really, really fucking hate him. He's a vile, racist cunt who has done more damage to this country in recent years than anyone else.

He nicks disaffected Tories votes far more than any other and will probaly kill another 50 tory mps from the coming Parliament. All good. Go Nigel go destroy the conservatives and then fuck off where the sun don't shine, which is certainly Clacton. This is the Tories worst nightmare.

I'm over the moon. If he ran the UK and Trump ran the US then maybe this world would finally stop going to hell.
