Er - his job as an MP is to represent Clacton in Westminster - not to represent Westminster in Clacton. He was in the US, which is not Westminster. Therefore he missed various votes, like the vote on the budget.
The new word for people like him is grifter.
MP's never go abroad? - when did this rule come in? what consequence was there for anyone in the UK by him missing the budget? |

what consequence was there for anyone in the UK by him missing the budget? None, because Reform were comprehensively defeated in the general election. That doesn’t mean that Farage should be representing his constituents, not Trump, but both you and I knew what he was going to do, so neither of us is surprised, is we? |

And we won't be surprised if Farage loses his seat at the next election either. |

Reading about the catastrophic effects of Labours 100 days, or is it 110 now, it behoves me to think of a new order that is coming, that in America, so in Britain. At best this is a one term Labour thang, at best, Starmer is hell bent on suicide, surely it wont last long. You cant shut Britain down and get away with it, or can you.? We need more Clarksons, Yaxley Lennons, more leaders. The conservatives have now ditched the left, or have they?, like Labour ditched Corbyn etc. Which will it bee, Reform or the Cons. Trust has gone in regards to the cons, for me anyway, thats going to take a lot to get back. True colurs are yet to be shown there. Ceelebrate with me now that Labour are doomed, there stupidity, repeating old mistakes over and over is an expression of not being able to learn, or their inherent communist need to destroy everything, and replace it with Marxism. My prediction of the next general election, 1st, Reform, the cons are still stuck in sillyneess. 2nd The cons, i mean that in the conning meaning. 3rd, Rupert Bear. 4th zebeedeee from thee magic roundabout.
5th Tom and Jerry. 6th Thee robot from lost in spacee. 7th Labour.
It's a poser for sure. For the next election the choice will be Tory or Reform UK. Thing is, the political landscape will be very different in five years time... Unemployment nears 4 million The benefits bill has increased to £300 billion Entire towns now speak Arabic/Urdu The Prime Minister, David Lammy, works out of his Brussels office Criminals no longer cross the channel in small boats, Labour just send ferries for them In attempt to control rampant inflation interest rates are at 15% The prison population has been reduced to 50,000, criminals with a sentence of two years or less get community service Crime rates have never been higher Due to mass civil disorder, white English people must be off the streets by sunset Diane Abbott, the latest Chancellor of the Exchequer, has raised VAT to 25% and the top rate of income tax to 60% The UK has become a third world shit tip Well done Labour For me personally, my head says Reform UK, my heart says Tory. We'll see. PS, Tom & Jerry should be number 2 or 3. |

Anyone who seriously thinks Reform UK were 'comprehensively defeated' in the general election, needs to read up. Reform UK are three years old, prior to the election they had one MP, post election they had five MP's (Thanks to Rocky Amesbury soon to be six) and were the third largest party by popular vote. No British political party has ever achieved such rapid success, it's completely unprecedented. Yet you describe the rise of Reform UK as 'comprehensive defeat'. In all seriousness Andrew I have to ask, defeat for who?.. |

I think 5 out of 650 is comprehensively defeated. The fact that they are a new party doesn't change that fact.

Reform UK, a three year old party, did not enter the election in the hope of forming a government. They entered the election to gain support, and they were spectacularly successful. |

Yes, they raised their support.
Yes, they lost.
(I'd also argue that they are just a rebranded Brexit Party, so not 3 years old, but that's irrelevant.)

Surgeries? 🤔 Guesswork I am afraid many MPs do not hold many surgeries, some as I understand it never have. Farage has been an MP for 4 months in a busy time for him and his party. His office is available by phone. He has had direct death threats made against him and has been physically attacked more often than most MPs. The criticism is because it is trying to find any way to get Farage. We can see through your critical stance because it lacks balance and has been selected. |
