Nigel Farage reveals why he hasn't been holding in-person surgeries in Clacton | LBC

'I won't be doing in-person surgeries until Parliament allows it', Nigel Farage tells Nick Ferrari. #lbc #shorts #farage #clacton #ukpolitics #uknews

I said to my wife “have you been faithful during our marriage”
She said “I would have thought that made sense, wouldn’t you?”

I think we can all agree that I’ve nothing to worry about

[informedchoice]

Last I heard in an interview from his constituent he's not answered a single email from them, not even a courtesy response. This man's a liar.

[hgmet]

Big pile of stinking BS. As always, the poor man is the victim.

[SM-fkor]

Are the security threats stopping him from writing back to his constituents as well?

[craigr]

The man just lied through his tar stained teeth. He’s not in Clacton because there is no grift money to be had.

[onenote]

Firstly, notice that he ducked the question at every turn. 'Have a guess', 'I would have thought that makes sense', 'there is an office that gives advice'. At no point did he give an outright answer. The reason he is not engaging with constituents is because it's all about Farage and not about the people he is supposed to work for.

[thomasreilly]

Nonsense. There has been no announcement by the local police about any threats or potential threats made to him

[samuelstevens]

So he's the only mp in the uk that can not do constituency surgeries?

[Mossielif]

Whys he always on with nick and never o'brien?

[Hbw]

People In Clacton got what they voted for! 😂🎉

[foreignofficeclub]

Doesn't need the same level of security for his constant public appearances though.
Maybe he felt the attempts at Trump were actually meant for him.

[mettie]

Not stopping him from doing tv and radio work though is it? You're still travelling freely to and from America without worrying but you can't do the job that you have wanted for years 😂😂😂😂😂 I can't believe people still fall for his bs

[birch]

So it’s nothing to do with parliament not allowing him then. It’s because he’s scared of milkshakes.

[TheFesta]

Is he suggesting that its too dangerous for him to be around members of the public?...
He was larging it up at Doncaster races a couple of days ago, massive grin doing photo ops.

[SlapshodWingnut]

So... is there a procedure to oust a delinquent MP who's not actually doing their job?

Or is this going to be exactly like when he was an MEP, where he only turns up for a vote? And most of the time, he's just down the pub, enjoying the gravy train.

Hands up who's actually surprised...

[leejones]

And where's any evidence confirming this? What an absolute bullshitter.
If there were fears for his safety doesn't anyone think that NF would milk that for all it's worth?
He's probably not long thought of this excuse.

[michaelmather]

Oh poor Nigel straight from the Trump playbook .

[themightyegonga]

Does anyone else find this exchange a little sus? Farage does not actually say there’s been a threat or that he’s been told not to host surgeries. He just says “have a guess”, Ferrari pulls out the risk to his safety out of thin air, Farage says “Yes, that makes sense”, then when pressed just confirms that there’s a security team under the House Speaker and they give instructions. It’s like he’s taking great pains to say it without saying it.

[blindbrad]

Ahahahahahahahahaha this must be the reason why he hasn't answered their emails either then, his computer is stuck in the Clacton office that still doesn't exist… Wait what?

[joeokeefe]

Did you notice how he completely fails to answer
