Nigel Farage has not made a public appearance since Farage Fest on August 14/15.

He is expected to return at the Reform ‘conference’ at the National Exhibition Centre next week. There will be a Stand Up To Racism protest.

Farage has 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’. 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
