Good morning. I was hoping to be writing today on the late Ali Khamenei’s vast, week-long funeral in Iran. Given yesterday’s events in Westminster however, I’m afraid we’re instead turning our attention to Nigel Farage. Please accept my sincere apologies.
Yesterday afternoon, flanked by union jack flags, the Reform leader delivered an extended, wide-ranging and frankly rather rambling statement on his “future in public life”. He complained at length about investigations into the vast sums of cash he has received as gifts, and chastised the public for being ungrateful at the sacrifices he has made on our behalf during his time in office. He bemoaned life in the “communist country” that is Great Britain. And then, Farage announced his resignation as the member of parliament for Clacton-on-Sea.
