Farage on the campaign trail: every picture tells a story

In Uncategorized on May 1, 2026 by kmflett

The Guardian has published a photo story of Farage on the local election campaign trail over the last few months.

The photographer Sean Smith surely deserves some kind of official recognition.

The pictures are notable for a few of things:

A lot of pubs are involved, not one of them is a Wetherspoons

Most pictures are notable for the presence of large men with beards- Farage’s ‘security’

While there are people, whether Reform members or just curious people in most photos, thronged is not the word for it

What the story can’t reflect but has been covered elsewhere is that Farage arrived at the many of the locations not by car or train but by helicopter or plane. For the few not the many as usual
