Farage: (n): a large stool. As in, I needed to flush the toilet twice to get rid of that Farage.
Yesterday, Nigel Farage resigned as MP for Clacton.
His record of attending Parliament and voting is very poor indeed, I think at one point he had missed 76 consecutive votes in the House. And he has failed to hold any surgeries in Clacton for his constituents.
Farage is facing multiple investigations from Parliament and banks regarding gifts of millions of pounds from various people outside the UK.
Gifts he received in the year before he became an MP had to be declared. He failed to declare them.
He received £5 million from a crypto-billionaire, for reasons over time have changed.
Not only has he resigned, but intends to stand in the byelection that would trigger, and an anti-establishment ticket. Only all the other main parties have said they will not stand in the byelection, and so far the only other candidate it would seem is Count Binface.
It would seem that the ploy was to avoid scrutiny for the gifts received, but the inquiry would only be paused until he was an MP again.
So all rather pointless.
And on top of that, his electorate don't seem too happy with his performance as their MP.
Stange that.
