Nigel Farage has been a politician since 1999, when he was first elected to the European Parliament, where he remained until 2020. In 2024, Farage became MP for Clacton. Leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) 2006 - 2016 2019 he formed The Brexit Party, rebranded as Reform UK in 2021
Meanwhile, many celebrating the 'defeat' of fascism 80 years ago while willingly voting for another fascist party with the potential to get their hands into power here. Make it make sense - anyone? 🤷♂️
Look in the mirror
My contempt for career cunts knows no bounds.
Good to know he hates himself as much as the majority of normal people do.
My contempt for career 5th columnist is even worse.
Nigel Farage is a grifting arse!
To be fair he did have a ‘career’ before becoming a politician. He’s referring to those who have done nothing other than politics and, whilst I don’t hold him in contempt, I can see his point. We do need more politicians with experience of the real world. Obviously I don’t normally agree with him.
I'm not sure Nigel Farage following his father into financial trading counts as real-world experience
True. It hardly merits his claim to be a man of the people. Sadly too many are hoodwinked into supporting this grifter.
Good one. Following.
The irony
Manages to take a salary without actually doing a job.
Okay. So he’s contemptible by his own lights! :)
i think...... he filled REFORM with some of these "career politicians" as well. he helped them defect to his party. he convinced them to defect to his party. he campaigned for them. he gave them a lot of money[one even said he was handing out bribes to defect...cough,cough 30p Lee]
Well, he is a contemptible "human".
And he has done precisely f-all to represent the interests of those who elected him the entire time. He has made quite a lot of money though.
To be fair to him, he is actually a full-time grifter, and politics is just one of his grifts.
On the springboard to become PM, if things don't change, ...
What Fag Ash Farage a hypocrite Never ‼️😀
🤣🤣🤣
You and your pesky facts coming on here fact checking a man who frankly couldn't lie straight in bed. To be fair to him it wasn't really a career that he had as he hardly turns up; more of a hobby.
He’s a bigoted racist. He’s the sort my dad fought against in WW2
aye bsky.app/profile/loca...
He was fined for not turning up for work on a number of occasions
His contempt for career politicians is second only to his contempt for bankers & traders, I believe 🙄
Aye, Nigel. So do we. You probably don't think of yourself as a career politician given that only only spend an hour or so a week at it. But the rest of us know you want the top job and you kicked out people like Tice to get it. Odious.
Not a party, but a private limited company of which Farage is the majority shareholder which gives him total control. I await with interest their published accounts. See Companies House, number 11694875.
In February 2025 they changed how Reform UK is owned. www.ft.com/content/527b... bsky.app/profile/loca...
He has to Keep his snout in the trough!
A man who has made a career of lying
A habitual liar.
He learnt how to make a living without working at Dulwich College
I'm already sick and tired of Reformoaners
His hypocrisy knows no bounds
He's full of shit, but stupid people like him.
Hypocrite.
My contempt for lying racist bigots..ie farage and ilk...knows no bounds! #ToriesGone307 #HopeNotHate #BrexitTheElephant #BrejoinEU #Vote4Democracy
The rank hypocrisy of this statement and he knows it. Sheer brass neck.
He’s the very definition of ‘career politician’
...and a particularly rubbish one at that
He’s spent years trying to become a politician.
Drawing his MEP pension?
He's the ultimate career politician. Establishment through and through. His portrayal in the media is a phenomenal fraud on the British people!
His contempt for his constituents knows no bounds, his contempt for his job knows no bounds (only voted in 33% of all votes), his contempt for anyone not on the rich list knows no bounds.
Have people not seen through him yet?
Sadly we have a huge problem with the gullible in the UK bsky.app/profile/youg...
Does this mean we’ll have to prepare for a reform government and Farage as PM?
@mrjamesob.bsky.social this looks like a whodunnit that might suit your programme
Self loathing explains a lot of this sad greedy career politician's behaviour.
You can probably count in hours or minutes the amount of time he's spent with his constituents in his constituency...
Career politician Farage arrived 16 yrs before Starmer, who was first elected in 2015 following a successful legal career, culminating in his being appointed DPP. Farage’s “man of the people” schtick is only true in that a lot of people are gobby dickheads who like throw mud at those doing the work.
It never ceases to amaze me how he doesn't see his own hypocrisy. Just shows his only interest to to say things he thinks (some) people want to hear.
I expect he does see it. As with Brexit, he knows there are just enough people who are stupid or corrupt enough to believe whatever he says
Maybe he hates himself.
My hate for career politicians like Farage knows no bounds.He’s totally in it for himself and money is his motive and his god.
Yep. He's disgusting.
Yes, Nigel...as does my contempt for hypocrites like you.
he'd sell his own nan for a soggy biscuit
I think Nigel's stunning hypocrisy looks good on him. BTW, Barney Fife called and wants his face back.
Looking in the mirror Nige?
Ha ha ha!
My personal test of whether a politician is trustworthy and suitable for the job? I ask myself “Would I buy a secondhand car from him/her?”. Farage, like many in Reform, comes across as a gobby Spiv and the answer is a most definite “NO!”.
Can anyone remind me how much the British taxpayer is paying him for his MEP pension?
Git.
He shows up as much in Clacton as he showed up to committee meetings in the EU.
Farage is cognitive dissonance personified...
Or he’s just a liar. Which we already knew
You're not wrong...
He is such a twat.
Similarly, my dislike for career grifters knows no bounds…
He means career politicians WHO ACTUALLY turn up and work as politicians. The ones who make shitloads grifting and scamming on the side-- not so much.
Well where do I start? I’ll go grifter, chancer, charlatan, hypocrite, liar, mercenary, oxygen thief and and … come on folks, help me to compile a litany.
Traitor
May I suggest : top twatW⚓️
Be my guest. Pile it on.
I'd be banned 😉
That gives the general idea. Well done.
🫣🫢😳
Go on. Tell them I started it. Bury him in shino up to the neck.
You've totally twisted my arm, Frank 😬🤭
Second that + Traitor
Also : RefUKker in chief (and that's factual )
He's a grifting, gurning waste of skin.
I get what he's saying. If you have (checks notes) 9 jobs, politics becomes a side grift.
This nonsense will continue to speak to continue demographic.
It’s called self loathing and it’s very unattractive
Typical Farage - Unprincipled, and opportunistic
A career politician but always a cunt
It's quite sad that he holds himself in such contempt. Sorry, I meant funny.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣career ! The guy who never showed up but draws his EU pension anyway. Never seen in his constituency but effs off to support Trumple at drop of a dollar. Some career.
Ah, but he is more of a career opportunist and (very big) mouthpiece for far right hateful rhetoric, rather than a politician. God help us all if the British electorate are gullible enough to put him in No. 10.
Farage was a political activist before that, in the Anti-Federalist League which was the foundation for the formation of UKIP in 1993 ok "career politician" usually means someone without much employment before politics but following your dad into financial trading + failing isn't much of a career
Yeah but he was a gritty metals worker before that, no? I’m sure that was the line at Scunthorpe.
He must be filled with self-loathing.
h/t @dave43law.bsky.social for the tweet btw "Always but always a tweet" 😉
he must hate himself
Not as much as we hate him though.
He might as well - we all hate him anyway
You might be on to something there
At least he’s not alone.
