Nigel Farage responded to Reform UK’s by-election defeat in the only way he knows how – in a field – and these 14 comebacks surely said it best

It wasn’t a good night for Reform UK – in fact, it wasn’t even an average one – after their Makerfield candidate Rob Kenyon was trounced by Andy Burnham in Makerfield and the Conservatives went and won in Scotland. The Conservatives!

Nigel Farage responded in the only way he appears to know how these days – in the middle of a field – and it’s fair to say he wasn’t taking it well, he wasn’t taking it well at all.

And it prompted no end of responses as you might imagine. We reckon these people said it best.

Does he do interviews anymore? Or just record clips of him standing in fields? https://t.co/2AMFfK9kzo

Again, something’s odd about Nigel Farage at the moment. He says he’s pleased Reform came second in Arbroath. But they didn’t. They came third, behind the Conservatives. https://t.co/FsTxTzdxcb

Oh give it the fuck up already you snivelling fuckstain. No it was not “vote Burnham, get Starmer out”.

It was “you got fucked after spending a fortune on media whilst bragging a win you failed to deliver on”

Now lets talk £5Million.

And the rest.
