Missing from debates, missing from votes, missing from his constituency, Farage has made a political career out of being absent while making money at the taxpayer's expense. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Pretty sure it’s not going to be their defence that stops it.

Farage is Reform’s Defence Spokesman yet he couldn’t be bothered to show up for 95% of Defence Debates in HOP

That’s how serious Mr I will "don khaki, pick up a rifle and head for the front lines" if UK Govt failed to properly deliver Brexit is about Defence

He’s not a real MP he’s #NigelMirage👀

Happy to meet with 🇬🇧UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting !

"Reform’s defence credibility is undermined by its own record.
Its MPs missed 147 of 210 defence sessions. Farage spoke in just 10, with nine focused on the Chagos Islands.
The party is preparing to appoint a shadow armed forces minister after more than two years without one."

..and frankly if you seriously think "this chart is technically accurate because the numbers are what the chart says they are" is a defence of making it the headline chart, then it illustrates that you don't actually have a remotely credible defence.

Iran might get nuclear weapons and destroy the world so Trump must stop it by using nuclear weapons and destroying the world. This is how self-defence works.
