Nigel Farage was elected MP for Clacton on 4th July. He visited the area on 8th July.
After that he departed for the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee where he didn’t meet Donald Trump. He also managed the State Opening of Parliament and the King’s Speech (though not the debate on it) and made a maiden Parliamentary speech.
Parliament is in recess in August. Farage made a short visit to Hong Kong to see his son who works there. He has resumed his GBNews ‘shows’, spoken to Fox News and exchanged pleasantries with Elon Musk on Twitter.
On 8th August there was a serious fire in Jaywick in his Constituency. A number of properties were damaged and some people made homeless. Farage said he would visit and on August 12th, 35 days after he had last been to his Constituency, he did.
He spoke to one person who had been impacted by the fire and spoke to crews at the local Weeley Fire Station which had been one of six which had tackled the blaze.
The visit appears to have been a short PR exercise and Farage does not appear to be running Surgeries or have a contact for Constituents.
It will be interesting to see how long it will be before he next stops by Clacton..
