Farage IMO is quite rightly asking a question of Parliament, if a Political Party has less than six MP's in Parliament the leader of that Party cannot lay a wreath to the fallen at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day, then why is the Leader of the DUP that has only five MP's the same as Reform UK allowed to lay a wreath ?

Exactly Handy...And why are former PM's allowed to lay wreaths? |

There may well be a reasonable explanation as to why a Party needs six members or more before the Leader of that Party can lay a wreath, but it appears that
does not apply to the DUP for some reason
As for former PM's it appears they are permitted to do so

On Bliar I agree 100% he sent our lads and lasses to war more than once, some never came home some badly injured physically and mentally, but according to the limp wristed limped dicked extreme lefties Thatcher was the warmonger for throwing the Argentinian Invaders out of the Falklands. |

As far as Farage next time round it won’t be a problem,might be for steamer though  |

In todays Telegraph
Gavin Robinson, the leader of the DUP, had a public-facing role in the ceremony as he also laid a wreath despite his party only having five MPs.
Government sources later pointed to an addendum to the 1984 protocol, which stipulates that “the party with the most sitting MPs from each of the devolved nations should be given the opportunity to lay a wreath” even if the party has fewer than six seats.
The Speaker, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Northern Ireland Office, the Chief Whip and the Royal Household have all agreed to the change.
Plaid Cymru and the SNP have a separate agreement, in place since 2001, where they have a joint wreath and take it in turns to lay it on alternate years.
Nigel Farage told GB News that after the next election Reform will have enough MPs for him to take part.
He said: “I personally am not complaining but other people are.”

Anyway, time to let Nigel lay a wreath.
He is after all the leader of the third biggest party in UK politics when you look at the number of votes Reform get.
4.1 million votes.
Lib Dems got 3.5 million votes and their leader laid a wreath.

Lib Dems got 3.5 million votes and their leader laid a wreath. But Reform didn't get sufficient votes in enough places. A similar problem to the Greens — although the Green vote was over 50% in two seats, and not below 40% on the other two, whereas Reform only got above 40% in two seats... |
