And yet we can’t help but feel Farage might have had just a little bit more credibility had he actually turned up to Parliament to take part in the debate about it.
NEW: Nigel Farage admits he is on holiday, missing Keir Starmer’s Commons statement on the EU reset.

Nigel Farage isn’t even in the House of Commons during the questions to the Prime Minister on his EU-UK deal, the issue that he is supposed to care about more than any other. Where is he?

Remember when the Reform lot claimed that Starmer was a part timer who wouldn’t work beyond 5pm on a Friday.
I think they should have looked closer to home. The part timer is their own Party leader, Farage. https://t.co/OoZdrTX7sM
