Announces that he will no longer attend Prime Minister's question time and sat in the press gallery to protest against the "most unrepresentative parliament ever".
The cause of his complaint? Despite his funny little sidekick Richard Tice bobbing up and down to catch the Speaker's attention, Reform UK are rarely called upon to ask a question. The reason being that they hold just 5 seats in the House of Commons. Out of 650.
But they do have a very popular TikTok account, which in Farage's eyes counts for more than parliamentary representation.
It's a good job that he announced he was going on strike on national TV as his Clacton-on-Sea constituents probably would not have noticed the difference otherwise.

@ninalanyon It's not ideal, but the same rules apply to every party. The Lib Dems managed to get their largest number of seats ever through a reputation for competent local government, focusing limited resources on their heartlands, and cooperating with other parties.
