Politics nigel farage Ali Fortescue held Nigel Farage’s feet to the fire over his failure to step up for Clacton, and he didn’t like it one bit Poke Staff . Updated November 10th, 2024 Share Tweet Nigel Farage took time out of his busy schedule of stroking Donald Trump ‘s ego to put in an appearance in the UK. Not Clacton, obviously, but at the Reform UK conference in Newport, Wales.

Sky’s Ali Fortescue asked him about his failure to step up and do his job properly in Clacton, and he wasn’t at all happy about it. “I have bought a house in Clacton! What more do you want!” Nigel Farage on claims he’s not in his constituency enough. pic.



twitter.com/7XcBbbB26q — Ali Fortescue (@AliFortescue) November 8, 2024 “How many times have you been to Clacton?” “I’ve just exchanged contracts on a house that [sic] I’ll be living there. Is that good enough?” Narrator: He did not want to say how many times he had been to Clacton.

People were impressed by Ali Fortescue’s questions, and unsurprised by his testy responses. To paraphrase Corporal Jones – he doesn’t like it up him. 1.

This is hilarious. Well done @AliFortescue . https://t.

Love this https://t.co/kCIYOCWHoJ — Otto English (@Otto_English) November 8, 2024 4. For Farage to somehow ram that house up his shitter and explode? https://t.

Time for Farage to act for Clacton – not just for Trump! https://t.co/QI06Aj6Jxq — Leicester Worker (@LeicesterWorker) November 9, 2024 7. Translation: I'm a buy-to-let landlord.

"I've bought a house there! What more can I do!" Actually spend time in Clacton? — Ashles (@Ashles3000) November 9, 2024 10. ‘I was an MEP for 20 years’ Yeah, and he did fuck all then as well. See the pattern? — Drop (@PaffyPete) November 9, 2024 11.

As a Clactonian, I can confirm he is attempting to buy a house in Clacton (not actually in Clacton but in the rural area that surrounds it) but surgeries? Nah, none so far. He’s too scared of the public, from his own lips, he’s afraid of being ‘stabbed’! ❄️ — Urban_Tribesman – NHS (@Changeling_1) November 9, 2024 12. This is excellent questioning from the brilliant @AliFortescue .

Look at the indignation of Farage at being asked simple questions. https://t.co/eJ2Ce2ZEAG — Larry & Paul (@larryandpaul) November 9, 2024 13.

He doesn't like being held accountable, and i think it would be worth checking every word that he says. because he's, oh how best to put it..

...

a proven liar. — Martin Found (@MartinFound1) November 9, 2024 14. I'd watch a Back to the Future where Marty McFly did everything in his power to ensure Nigel Farage's parents ended up never meeting each other.

https://t.co/rQjVVbGgbe — Ian Hall (@Ian64) November 9, 2024 15. This pleb thinks buying a house in his constituency is enough to service his responsibilities.

If he recognises that he is incapable of being leader of a party and a member representing the people,he should quit!! https://t.co/212MR010K1 — Angel calling (@Angelcalling5) November 8, 2024 In answer to the question about how much time Ed Davey spends in his constituency, we’ll just leave these here. .

@EdwardJDavey lives in his constituency. When I lived in Surbiton, I often saw him getting the train into central London in the morning https://t.co/GLuiJ8OreA — Martin Parks (@centrepartin) November 8, 2024 Monday 25th March marked my 50th advice surgery appointment of the year.

There are many constituents who are struggling during these challenging times and it continues to be my privilege to support the people of Kingston and Surbiton in whatever way I can. — Ed Davey (@EdwardJDavey) March 27, 2024 READ MORE Guess where Nigel Farage is!
