Nigel Farage was elected MP for Clacton on 4th July. Its the final week of Commons sittings for the year and one would expect an MP to be around and perhaps involved with Christmas events in his Constituency.
However its becoming increasingly clear that Farage thinks he is the MP not for Clacton but for Mar A Lago in Florida, the base of Donald Trump
Farage was in New York at the weekend speaking at a Republican fund raising event (where Kemi Badenoch was barred for being too left-wing) and is clearly still in the US.
The picture shows Farage with Melon Usk, a far right activist and Nick Candy. Candy is described as the Treasurer of Reform UK Ltd but in reality its fund raiser. Friendly with Tony Blair and Boris Johnson (interview, Sunday Times 15th December) Candy seems to have decided that the interests of the very rich are now best promoted by Farage & Co.
The background is whether Melon Usk will be funding Reform UK Ltd. Given how much concern there is about foreign interference in UK politics it must be expected that prompt action will be taken if anything actually transpires.
They all look so eminently smug and slappable – It also appears musk is looking to influence politics here too 😦
