Just saw Farage over in America.

I do not believe labour MPs went at all.
There were only party members/activists/volunteers.

We were told they were not MPs, just Labour supporters, or members or activists, or today, backroom people.
So I’m not quite sure what your point is. Their actions were backed up by the words of senior members of the LP, or are Starmer and Lammy not in that group?
I don’t think Trump would care, but I do think he’s capable of using things that he objects to as an excuse for actions against those who offend him.
No, before anyone asks, I’m not acquainted personally with Trump. My impressions are based on what I see, hear or read.

Nothing historically new about it. Only newsworthy as it’s another stick for the media to hit the government with. Nowhere near as bad as Farage openly supporting Trump.

And all those British MPs that went over to support Harris. Not a good idea and it certainly backfired on them.

I don't think MPs went to support Harris.

Who were they if they did?

I would be happy that he was living in his constituency.

I have no idea where my constituency MP lives, it is not important to me, I know her email address.

Hope she answers any emails you send - I think mine hasn't answered because there is no way she can justify claiming someone with a salary of £91,000 (an MPs salary) needs help with "energy" costs while someone with an income of less than £12,000 doesn't!

Maremia. I mentioned this because this thread is about N.F in America and apparently he has already spoken to D.T on behalf of the Chagossians, who apparently took it very seriously and hopefully will cancel Joe Bidens verbal agreement yet to be signed for. This is as I understand it.

Well said.

He's as 'Trumpet' so hopefully get a job with his pal and go away!

So how many houses does he now own?

I am not a fan of Nigel Farage, but however you like to dress it up and call him out, he has bought/is buying a house within in his constituency.

*But it isn't in Clacton.*

If he'd bought a house in Tendring, or Weeley or Great Bentley would you still say he'd bought a house in Clacton?

I just do not get why you are hung up on the fact he hasn’t purchased a home in Clacton?

He has purchased a home within his constituency, is there some bylaw which states that an MP from this particular constituency must live in Clacton?

As you know the area, you will be aware that Frinton is approximately six miles from the centre of Clacton, no great distance or big deal 🤷‍♀️

Enough of Froggy Farage!

Bored with him and his publicity seeking!

Poor old Frinton, but hoorah he’s not my MP!

Frinton certainly isn’t Clacton 😂😂😂😂

However, my intel states his house IS in Frinton, but (horror of horrors) OUTSIDE the gates!! 😱😱😱😱

Ah... Social climber who hasn't quite made it, then... 😁

If the people of Clacton felt they should get rid of Farage, and it really is up to them, how do they go about it? There must be a process.

There has to be a recall petition signed by a certain percentage of the constituents. But that may only apply if the MP has done something that breaks the law. MPs are under no legal obligation to go anywhere near their constituency. Or even attend Parliament...

^Farage was asked by a Sky interviewer how much time he spent in Clacton and he said he'd just bought a house there and what more did she want!^

But one of our posters who seems to live quite locally (i.e in Essex) said that he has bought a house in Frinton. Frinton is most definitely not Clacton, it's only similarity to Clacton is that it is on the same coast. It is far nicermore upmarket...

Still, liars do what liars do...

Frinton is lovely, sadly it is in the same constituency as Clacton and Jaywick!

GrannyGravy13

As people like facts this is Nigel Farage’s constituency boundary, as you can see Frinton is definitely within it.

I know perfectly well that Frinton is within the Clacton constituency. I also know the area pretty well as I was brought up in that part of Essex. . Frinton just isn't Clacton. There is even open countryside between the two...

He has bought a house in Frinton, however Frinton and Clacton are in the same constituency

Maybe Farage wasn't intetionally lying about where he bought the house. Maybe he just doesn't know enough about the area to know what is where, and doesn't care enough to find out?

You are joking of course, I hope?

I think there's a clue in the names. FRINton, CLACton.

Separate towns.... 😆

After with you ronib
