On 4th July Nigel Farage was elected, on his 8th attempt, as an MP, in this instance for Clacton. He stood for Reform UK, not a political party but a business of which Farage is the main shareholder.
On 8th July Farage visited Clacton, attended a meeting and posted shots of this on X.
What Farage did not post was any detail of when his Constituency Office will be set up or how his Clacton Constituents can contact him with issues.
Meanwhile Farage did announce that he is resuming his 3 times a week GB News show. So far he has managed one appearance in the UK and two from Milwaukee
On 14th July speaking not from Clacton but from a property in Westerham Kent, Farage announced that he was off to the US to attend this week’s Republican National Convention which has anointed Donald Trump as the Republican Presidential candidate. He flew to Milwaukee immediately after the King’s Speech on Wednesday, not bothering to remain for the start of the actual Parliamentary business-the debate on it. Other attenders at the RNC include Liz Truss, no longer an MP and trying to appear relevant and Boris Johnson who attracted a mass audience of 30 people to a fringe meeting.
Did Farage get to meet his friend Trump in Milwaukee? Er, no. Perhaps he would have been better off doing his actual job, attending the Commons and dealing with Clacton Constituency business
