Where’s Nigel?

He's resigning but standing again as MP for Clacton.! What has he done for Clacton those people need to ask themselves.

He has resigned as MP for Clacton, but is going to force a bye-election and will stand again as MP for Clacton!

What a complete waste of public money! Talk about game playing!

I’ve never ever seen anything like this in my entire life!

YES!!!
He is resigning as MP

I think he’s been to USA for an intensive ‘How to out -Trump Trump’ course.

Blimey, he is really ranting on!

He is playing the victim. The 'establishment' are against him when he has done nothing wrong.
He must think people are fools. Why is he best pals with a convicted criminal? Why is he so involved in crypto currency?
Nigel is all about making money for himself by fair means and foul and he isn't interested in working people as he claims.
Also why has he been given a platform to tell lies?

Surely he shouldn’t be talking about his 5m if he’s been referred to the ethics committee.

Actually, it’s utterly sickening!

It’s pathetic! Utterly pathetic and now going on about “making money not a crime!”

It’s not wrong to make money!

Speaking now

And hear we go “let me be clear, I’ve done nothing wrong at all”

It’s a big “poor old me” statement!

Since when has a party leader with 5 (?) MP’s made headline news and called for news conferences at a moments notice ? Still, his Starmer Out campaign worked, didn’t it…

I think he might have a whole 8 MPs now, including himself, including “defections”.

It’s not being screened on the BBC as yet, have BBC news channel on now!

He’s screening it using his own media company, with no journalists presents hence no Q&A afterwards.

So news presenters having a chat about Farage and Reform! Interesting enough, but not his promised statement! It’s now 14:09 and I ask again “Where's Nigel?”

fancythat

My guess is, he feels he is at a crossroads.

Politically, and maybe personally as well.

The £5mill investigation wont be helping either.

Looks like he was and is.

We shall see...

AGAA4

I hope he does the decent thing and resigns. His position seems untenable now.

If only …..

Ooops “a self-righteous”

Breaking News. At 2pm today. Farage is to make a statement on his ‘future in public life’.

For one split second I thought, hoorah! Then I remembered this is Farage, so likely not to be a step down, but more likely an send-righteous anger stating he’s done nothing wrong ever in his whole life and he’s being bullied and is in fear of his life!

He could just be about to take another leaf out of the Trump playbook and threaten to sue everyone.

OTOH, he may have the wind up that Burnham could call a snap election to try to get a five year mandate and he [Farage] might end up PM, a job he knows he could never do. I've long said he would run away before 2029.

Maybe his mates Gerry Gunter and Andy Wigmore offered him another job last weekend while he was schmoozing in Washington.

While we wait, some commentary from the FT on Posh George’s book How to Launder Money.

I thought he was in America? Again…

No, he came back yesterday, I know because Sky News caught him at the airport and starting asking questions - he was very angry, they put the clip up on Sky last night.

I hope he does the decent thing and resigns. His position seems untenable now.

Let’s hope he chucks in the towel, he’s arrogant enough not to though so not holding my breath. I can’t imagine he actually wants to be PM - too much like hard work and he’d have to take a massive pay cut.

Thanks for the heads up Casdon- I can't wait.

There’s something decidedly creepy about Posh George calling him Daddy.
