Nigel Farage congratulated the England team on progressing to the knockout stage of the World Cup and was booted into Row Z – 17 shots on target

After England’s opening match victory against Croatia, Nigel Farage was quick to jump on the bandwagon and show off some of his ‘man of the people’ schtick by posting a pic of himself sinking a pint amongst fellow fans in a packed boozer.

Turned out, however, that it was a recycled photo from 2024. His schtick drew a lot of stick.

He’s now posted a Tweet congratulating the team for their win against Panama, which sees them top the group and progress to the knockout stages of the competition. He’s wisely steered clear of attaching a photo of himself, but the replies were still as entertainingly vicious.

Pile on!

I heard the plebs love soccer ball, so I need to pretend I give a shit.

Why pretend any interest – you posted a 2yo photo for the first game.
You have less interest in football than you do in Clacton and that says it all

What happened to keeping politics out of football.

Now, off you fuck. Go and count your money or something.

What do you know about football? It is a working man's game. You would rather be out hobnobbing & drinking champagne with your rich fox-hunting friends. I am sure you would actually turn up in the House of Commons for this vote. pic.twitter.com/vlFVrnrgMk

The response you’re getting from even a simple post like this tells you the game is up for you. After one of the most disastrous weeks in Reform’s history, (You doing the media rounds and Zia having a car crash on QT) isn’t it time to retire. Enjoy your £5m you have “earned” it
