Nigel Farage had not made a public appearance since Farage Fest on August 14/15 until he was sworn in again as an MP on September 1
He is expected to return at the Reform ‘conference’ at the National Exhibition Centre at the end of the week. There will be a Stand Up To Racism protest.
Farage had numerous on-line advocates and the comment that he was on holiday is noted. It is also contradicted by a Reform statement that is ‘working from home’. Their most recent story was that Farage was fishing (one of the few genuine things about him)
In fact however in recent Augusts Farage has been anything but absent holding regular ‘press conferences’ to get attention when many politicians are actually on holiday as the Commons doesn’t usually sit in August.
Meanwhile there is now a statistic on how Farage has been doing in the day job as an MP for which he has paid nearly £100K a year
Commons Clipper records MPs Commons speeches for social media clips.
So far in 2026 the average number of contributions per MP has been 83. Farage has managed just 9. For scale Douglas Lumsden a Tory MP elected in June 2026 has made 21 contributions. Richard Tice has made 125 contributions.
The stat has clearly concerned Farage as he told Christopher Hope on GB News (1st September) that he will now be spending less time in the Commons. Is that possible?
