Poke Reporter. Updated February 5th, 2026

In all the Peter Mandelson discourse, Nigel Farage has been given a free pass for apparently hoovering up discarded Tories to pad out his parliamentary Reform UK group.

Of course, he had already apparently been given a get-out-of-jail-free card to use on not being able to explain who paid for his house in Clacton, failing to declare financial interests on time, and lying about why he has still not held in-person surgeries in his constituency.

In an almost self-sabotaging move designed to draw attention back to him, he posted a photo of the newly swelled Reform cohort – reminding us all of what a ragtag band of rejects they truly are.
