Judging by the amount of air time he’s getting now and especially on here, I doubt that. He’s a useful distraction though from the real issues of the two main parties. 

Would he be allowed a platform at PMQs at all? - I think it's only, generally the 2 largest opposition parties that get to ask questions isn't it?

I just can't see them allowing Farrdige much of a platform, which is a shame, as he'll be entertaining if nothing else.....of course until he gets bored, and doesn't bother to turn up, like when he was an MEP

I'm still convinced that when he gets in, and he will, that he'll eventually defect to the Conservatives and make a bid to become leader.

Farage’s future almost entirely depends on what the Tory party does. If the tories win the election then he’s finished. If the tories lose then find someone competent to lead them in opposition and unite the party then he’s finished. If the tories lose and fail to do that then Farage is in play either to take over the Tory party or bleed their right wing into reform and challenge that way.

I meant more in Parliament. Folk voting for him seem to think he’ll be in there every day causing trouble.

Farridge, Forage....................any more for any more? Maybe I should start calling Starmer 'Starkers' to play along in the childish game?

Nah. Mr. Beige U Turn is much more accurate.

So if Farage doesn't become Prime Minister next week, you and Royalwhite are donating £100 each to a children's charity. Beautiful to see. 🙏

He'll submit his questions like any other backbench MP - that's why you get lots of 'Would the Prime Minister join me in congratulating the Biggleswade Tiddly Winks Club on getting through to the final of the Bedfordshire County Championships...' to secure 5 mins of local press coverage. My guess is he'll hardly be there unless a topic has huge media coverage - I can't see him in a late night sitting on regional by-passes.

As for crossing the floor - the only hope is that there are enough One Nation Conservatives left to prevent him doing so.

Please don't be as fucking thick as him.

The gormless dairy product used the words "Farage is going to be Prime Minister in 10 days".

In the interest of assisting charities, myself and the erudite and generous Royal White are betting that Farage will not be PM in 10 days time.

My charity will be Bolton Hospice. He can write the cheque now.

In all fairness, it's a majestic achievement, playing away at notoriously difficult Leighton Buzzard in the semi-final, and coming away with an 8-6 victory. The final against Houghton Conquest should be a formality, especially given home advantage. The Bigg Theatre have already sold out, and black market tickets are going for upwards of £5 each

@tomskiwill be pleased though, as the event is going to be screened live, across the road the the B-Swan

In fact, I will go further. If Nigel Farage is the Prime Minister of the UK on the 5th July 2024, so delirious will I be that I will send Bolton Hospice an extra nine hundred quid to make it a thousand.

I will also commence preparations for my repatriation to the Bradshaw area. I just know that will please a good few on here enormously

Royalwhite used the words "£100 to a children’s charity that he’s not", and you matched his offer. Surely you're not trying to weasel your way out of it?

Excellent. So if he's not you're donating £100, but if he is you're donating a grand. Outstanding! 🙏

Yes, I've finally used up all of my sixpences and threepenny bits.

I can guess what Cheese will be saying. I'll wait until someone quotes him.

He'll be trying to renege. It's what his sort do.
