Nigel Farage "goes on strike"

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.

The Caerphilly candidate who narrowly lost to Plaid Cymru who is one of Nigel Farage's rising stars has been seen crying hear today in Caerphilly.

@senghenydd Bless. He'll be even more upset when Nathan Gill goes to prison.

@SunshineGirl I don't think he could get anymore upset than he is now, no doubt he'll be back there in six months time contesting Caerphilly again, and we'll have another laugh.

@senghenydd I didn't think it was that much of a narrow loss. It was a decisive win by PC which is good from my prospective.

@FreddieUK The Labour Party is in shock mode, it's the biggest shock they have ever seen in my opinion Caerphilly was one of the strongest seats in the country.

If Labour's red wall collapses in the forthcoming Senedd election Plaid Cymru could quite easily take control of the Senedd I think that's what will now happen.
