Just saw Farage over in America.

My new MP has replied to emails, held surgeries, spoken in Parliament about an issue important to the area, held a public meeting to ask for local views on assisted dying, sold poppies in the street....and much more.
Surely this is what we should expect of our elected, paid for, Member of Parliament.
I don't think that she's found time to pop over to the States .

Yes, brilliant, And how it should be for all MPs, this is what they are elected and paid to do. THEIR JOB.

Which Farage should do to, or taken to task if he does not.

That’s great!

He is a very good speaker, as is Trump. There, something positive.

Farage is a good orator, but Trump? Please!

Let's hope Farage will act as a bridge between the two countries. We certainly need someone with Trump's attitude over here (putting aside his unpleasant personality).

You have to be joking!

Trump is a good speaker ?

Oh dear, back to Farage bashing.
Some of you have nothing better to do.

This is a thread about Farage, after all. We've discussed doubts about his being a competent MP, his spending large amounts of time in the USA and how we see this politically, and his decision to spend a lot of time working in the media instead of on his constituents as well as disagreements with his POV.

If you want to point out his positives, this is a good space to do so. Any discussion on GN allows us to do that, whoever we are focussing on.

Goldoldie15 is Farage inflicting more harm than anyone else? Any examples? I am fast thinking that we are living in an age of insanity.

Some of the views expressed above are simply staggering in their ignorance of the harm Farage is doing

My MP has answered all of my emails and is up and running ! New MP for us and a breath of fresh air after our previous one !!
As for Farage, you got what you voted for Clacton!! A lazy self centred bone idle waistrel who is only out to cause mayhem again

he was important term.

Seems about right. Matches what comes out of his mouth.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Earlier this year he was the foreign secretary Mollygo, so yes his words are relevant in this discussion, if you want to make something of remarks by Starmer and Lammy. Witch hunting people because they once said something unwise which came back to haunt them but ultimately made no difference to diplomatic relations is a mugs game, it achieves nothing.

Is David Cameron still a person of note? power? I must have missed that.
Jeremy Corbyn certainly had plenty to say, and he’s equally unimportant.
The defence of KS lives on.

I don’t know, ask David Cameron why he did it, perhaps he has the insight we lack? I suspect they were all speaking heir minds at a time when neither they nor Trump were in power, and given he has not been sparing in his remarks about other politicians either, who cares.

^ none of the comments will make any difference anyway^
So why make them? Why make grandiose statements, as a senior member of the UK Parliament , about your opinion of the potential POTUS?
Especially when the person in question is Trump?
Unnecessary posturing.

I instinctively dislike Nige, he gives off a certain dodgy air but can’t quite get why he inspires such hatred. He is a good speaker (very good in fact ) and often what he says makes a deal of sense. Not always, admittedly. Is it because he is a bit of a threat to that dreadful man who is the PM? I really wish they had chosen better , almost anyone really who could lead the country in a compassionate and believable way. Even someone like Blair was better.

David Cameron did make vary similar remarks Mollygo, but so what - none of the comments will make any difference anyway, they will get on with the job now the posturing of the election process is over.

Exactly! Why was it necessary for KS and DL to comment the way they did at all?

If BJ had made the same comments, the criticism would have flowed in like a tsunami.
His comments This is just the same

He objects to anybody that doesn’t support him though, it’s the way his mind works. I’m not worried about him treating the UK any differently to any other European country, he knows he isn’t the choice of any of us.

Why should we have crept around it and not done what has happened for years without comment - to pander to Trumps total obsession with anyone who disagreed with him - he even had a go towards the end at Fox News because something happened his narcissistic ego didn't like.
