Farage statement: “Self obsessed diatribe” from a “Temu Trump”

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Nigel Farage’s statement where he said he will trigger a by-election in Clacton, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said:

“Nigel Farage has spent his whole life dodging responsibility for his actions. This new stunt is his latest attempt to escape consequences for his biggest grift. We won’t let him.

“We have just sat through a self-obsessed diatribe delivered by a Temu Trump who seems to think he is sat in the Oval Office.  

“He has done nothing for his constituents and instead focused on lining his own pockets. The people of Clacton deserve better than a rubbish Trump tribute act.

“It would be a crime to waste taxpayers’ hard-earned cash on this Farage vanity project. He should pay for it himself out of the millions he’s grifted.”
