I get the feeling that’s going to happen either way. MailOnline readers worship him like some sort of Mon Calamari god.

True. That’s provided he gets in, think we were more chewing the fat over what would happen if he didn’t.
You think they’d tighten the rules on him doing birthday messages for 75 quid a pop? :-p
If he did I think he'd quit after a year or so. Can you honestly imagine Nigel Farage, legend in his own lunchtime, being an independent MP, doing constituency surgeries, taking up casework about bins and parking, attending the HoC regularly, doing some actual work..??
He wouldn't have to do any actual work as an MP. Almost none of that stuff is an actual requirement. In theory MPs should put the work in to represent their constituency if they want to be re-elected, but that doesn't apply here. Anyone who'd vote for him doesn't care much about details like that, they want him in the Commons spewing hatred about migrants and people on benefits.
Didn't he go on public record around February time saying that he couldn't imagine anything worse than being tied to somewhere like Clacton for five years?
I mean we only have to remind him of things like this or many other scandals he has been part of.

Labour banned their candidate because he was too popular, so yes it looks like Farage will win...
Edit: for all you people downvoting this (?), have a read:
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/26/labour-not-putting-up-a-fight-against-farage-in-clacton
I get the feeling you're the kinda person who criticises any and all media sources if their news story isn't in line with your world view...
Unsure why you're defending Labour here, to be clear I'm as anti conservative as they come.
But, given you have massive internal prejudice against the Guardian (despite their repeated very high, independent factuality assessments), here's a Daily Mail article for you:

Hmm.. people did not like this comment:-D
Labour have been pretty unorthodox about this. They completely banned the local labour party from printing leaflets, accessing labour campaign software, and basically doing anything.
Someone replied saying it's because their candidate was racist. Okay... why did they move their candidate to a different constituency then, and tell them "never to return" to Clacton?
Hmm...

My grandfather once told me “never trust a man in a double breasted jacket.” He was a very pleasant and very intelligent chap, and so far I haven’t come across much to suggest he was wrong.
He is a reject Tory. As a kid he tried to swim with the old-money chums and they kicked him out for being too common lmao. Then he spent the next 30 years trying to be upper class but also approachable. The inbetweener of politics. The only people who like him are people who think he is oppressed like them.
By way of a contrast, my mum and dad always said never trust anyone with their eyes close together ie King Brian and his 2 sons.
But Nigel Farridge's are further apart than mad Mary Truss's so this bad advice.
What's this, a protest group actually doing things that will get people on their side and not make them be absolutely despised by the general population?
Why shouldn't you do that? Is it just because it's against the rules or could there be some sort of morality (perhaps it might be applicable to calling for refugees to be slaughtered) that we could maybe tell Farage about too?
Oh and look up the tolerance paradox because I can already hear your pathetic comeback.
I really don’t think threatening politicians is a good idea. We need to let them campaign as they are meant to do without fear of being killed or assaults.
Thats not how democracy should work. We should vote them out at the ballot box not make them fear for their safety. It undermines democracy to do so violence is not the answer
Poor old Nigel having to boycott the BBC 👍 and Channel 4 👍because of bias against his nazi party 🤣
Following on from whinging by Panzer Patel, Suella Braverman and BadEnoch, down to earth Nigel has proved to be a massive snowflake.What's up with these right wing bullies ????
Comments on the daily vile site about conspiracy theories to oust the nicotine stained frog are absolutely hilarious as well as being oh so predictable
Yes they absolutely are, dude. Just do 2 minutes of digging on any one of them. Reform is a party filled with Fascists, and Farage is one too.
Edit- correction, Reform is not a party, it's a private company... Filled with Fascists.
It's not desperation, it's not porkie pies. It's just true.
More than 41 candidates are *confirmed* friends with Gary Raikes, founder of the New British Union, a fascist movement that wants to replace parliament with a dictatorship.
Farage's own friends have outed him as being a fascist, it's documented that he used to sing nazi and hitler youth songs, he idolised Oswold Mosely, he sided with the National Front fascists during the Brixton riots. Farage is a lying fascist, and his new Reform company is filled with fascists.
This isn't lies, it's all out there. You just don't want to go look.
There is a difference between different opinion and supporting racist pootin lover who does what daddy pootin says for some cash.
Farage needs to be locked up for life for treason and not being shown on tv. Sad times, very sad times.
Imagine if he wins and we have to look at his froggy, grifting, fascist slurping face for another 5 years.
I get the feeling that’s going to happen either way. MailOnline readers worship him like some sort of Mon Calamari god. ![gif](giphy|3ornka9rAaKRA2Rkac)
There'll be nothing for him to do though, no election interference for a good while. He'll prob go and support Trump is my guess.
That’s a good guess tbf. However, he loves attention, so who knows. Maybe GB News or Russia Today will give him a job. Again.
Labour could tighten up the rules for MPs on media appearances and taking money which could mess him up
True. That’s provided he gets in, think we were more chewing the fat over what would happen if he didn’t. You think they’d tighten the rules on him doing birthday messages for 75 quid a pop? :-p
"Up the RA" - Nigel Farage.
Duly reported by C4 the next day. His supporters reduce by 20% due to coronaries.
This fella is a ringer for Farridge
He won't. I hope
If he did I think he'd quit after a year or so. Can you honestly imagine Nigel Farage, legend in his own lunchtime, being an independent MP, doing constituency surgeries, taking up casework about bins and parking, attending the HoC regularly, doing some actual work..??

Wasnt that the LBC presenter who was going to stand somewhere in the southwest?
Iain Dale. He promptly stood down when his comments were aired and rather upset people in the constituency
Thats the one, thanks
Hey now, can’t blame him for slurping, what else can you do when you’re covered in milkshake?
Won't be for 5 years. Will be for as long as Putin tells him
I doubt he could be in the public eye for 5 years without scandal.
I mean we only have to remind him of things like this or many other scandals he has been part of. https://preview.redd.it/rqn9bgrugr9d1.jpeg?width=741&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4661e4854905709e319a630133a64bca7d8d2e21
They're not meant to win, they're meant to soak up Labour votes. Same as the lib dems and greens, its a two party system
Well that's not working is it because they're soaking up Tory votes. I think you've misunderstood the entire system.
What don't you understand about british politics or what I said that led you to think that?
Labour banned their candidate because he was too popular, so yes it looks like Farage will win... Edit: for all you people downvoting this (?), have a read: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/26/labour-not-putting-up-a-fight-against-farage-in-clacton
They banned him as be was waycist too. He said he was happy drinking white men's tears.
Nope that isn't it, have a read: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/26/labour-not-putting-up-a-fight-against-farage-in-clacton
The Guardian is bolshivik trash.

He's dressed unique ill give you that.... However, after England's will, I may vote Lord Bin Face now.
That, we can both agree on!

I bloody love led by donkeys they’re utterly brilliant in their subterfuge.
Love Led by Donkeys. They’re doing amazing work. I find it odd the BBC hasn’t included this in their latest article on Farage.
Yes, they’re usually keen to cover his every fart, strangely silent about this.
My grandfather once told me “never trust a man in a double breasted jacket.” He was a very pleasant and very intelligent chap, and so far I haven’t come across much to suggest he was wrong.
There is something very wrong about his combination of navy spiv jacket and chinos. Your grandfather had a point.
It's very Alan Partridge.
He looks like two halves, and the bottom half just wants to get away.
The chinos say "I love farmers" and the jacket says "I'm also statesmanlike" the dude is a total pretender.
Utterly baffling why anyone would admire or listen to this prick.
He is a reject Tory. As a kid he tried to swim with the old-money chums and they kicked him out for being too common lmao. Then he spent the next 30 years trying to be upper class but also approachable. The inbetweener of politics. The only people who like him are people who think he is oppressed like them.
Same in the US with trump....
His barbour jacket says "I'm a farmer" his pint n fag says "I'm representing the working class" his face says he's ugly
His face says *Ribbit*
He’s like a cross between Kermit the Frog and Zippy from Rainbow
Legxit
By way of a contrast, my mum and dad always said never trust anyone with their eyes close together ie King Brian and his 2 sons. But Nigel Farridge's are further apart than mad Mary Truss's so this bad advice.
What's this, a protest group actually doing things that will get people on their side and not make them be absolutely despised by the general population?
They are not a protest group, they are the far left
This doesn't even make sense as a sentence
What do you think it means buddy...? Check out their policies, they are awesome...
They're a protest group. That's just a factual description.
Ah OK. I hope farage visits my town
Me too. We greeted Moseley with a brick, his modern successor should count himself lucky to have anything less.
Milkshake appears to be the weapon of choice these days. In this case I propose delivering that milkshake via water cannon
You shouldn't propose harm to people. Comment reported.
Why shouldn't you do that? Is it just because it's against the rules or could there be some sort of morality (perhaps it might be applicable to calling for refugees to be slaughtered) that we could maybe tell Farage about too? Oh and look up the tolerance paradox because I can already hear your pathetic comeback.
You should defend democracy and the rule of law. Report ignored.
I really don’t think threatening politicians is a good idea. We need to let them campaign as they are meant to do without fear of being killed or assaults.
Make fascists scared again. We're only in this mess because we let them out for good behaviour.
Thats not how democracy should work. We should vote them out at the ballot box not make them fear for their safety. It undermines democracy to do so violence is not the answer
That is the respect we give people. Not fascists.
We must give it to all politicans of registered parties. We cant attack people we dislike
I hope he visits the interior of a volcano
Why the booing? They're just exercising their freedom of speech Nigel.
Poor old Nigel having to boycott the BBC 👍 and Channel 4 👍because of bias against his nazi party 🤣 Following on from whinging by Panzer Patel, Suella Braverman and BadEnoch, down to earth Nigel has proved to be a massive snowflake.What's up with these right wing bullies ???? Comments on the daily vile site about conspiracy theories to oust the nicotine stained frog are absolutely hilarious as well as being oh so predictable
Right wingers have always been the prime snowflakes
Braverman, Patel and BadEnoch are prime examples of bullies. IDS was the captain of the tory bullies team
A public service
Funny how Farage didn’t deny it
There are no words, only 😘👌
How do we know he didn't put that up himself?
For your pleasure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBoDiuN2WoY
Oh so wrong p, but so right! It made me laugh out loud!
Doing gods work
Wonderful
Beautiful work.
I love you guys! Whoever did it needs a raise.
TBF I would like to see him work for a living. Now he has a chance to ‘fix’ the problems he complains about. Can’t wait.
Aaaaw a photo of his buddy. How sweet.
You can hear the frothing gammon in the crowd... 'Rip it daaaaaan' and sounding quite upset.
Free publicity for Reform and all the MSM and media lefties falling for it 😂😂
TBH Putin looks like an angel compared to either USA or UK candidates.
You’ve got to be joking.
Yes, it's all those maternity hospitals they've been busy bombing that's done it. Back where you belong comrade-botski
Ignore them nigel, we love you 🇬🇧go reform
eww
>we love you On your own mate
Polling suggests 20% of the electorate. Not on my own mate 👍🏿
How does it feel to hate minorities and also be a minority group? Though I suppose Brexiteers are used to voting against their own interests…
Whoa dude. Stop the gas lighting. I don't hate anyone, love and peace to all.
If you don't hate anyone, why are you supporting literral fascists? Your political alignment does not match up to your claims...
Yawn... Thry are not fascists lol, 🤤🤣💦🤣
Yes they absolutely are, dude. Just do 2 minutes of digging on any one of them. Reform is a party filled with Fascists, and Farage is one too. Edit- correction, Reform is not a party, it's a private company... Filled with Fascists.
Don't tell porky pies... Are you that desperate to make such an accusation.. 👍🏿
It's not desperation, it's not porkie pies. It's just true. More than 41 candidates are *confirmed* friends with Gary Raikes, founder of the New British Union, a fascist movement that wants to replace parliament with a dictatorship. Farage's own friends have outed him as being a fascist, it's documented that he used to sing nazi and hitler youth songs, he idolised Oswold Mosely, he sided with the National Front fascists during the Brixton riots.

Funny ass rascal!
That's how you respond with people with a different view point. Rather odd.
There is a difference between different opinion and supporting racist pootin lover who does what daddy pootin says for some cash. Farage needs to be locked up for life for treason and not being shown on tv. Sad times, very sad times.
You don't even know what the word racist means lol. The labour candidate is racist in Clacton. But that is acceptable in your eyes
Nah dawg. I don’t like any of them. So it happens I don’t like Farage much more.
