We never thought we’d feel sorry for Nigel Farage. And we were right.
The Reform UK party leader has flounced out of PMQs – apparently for good – because other MPs keep on picking on him and he never gets to ask a question.
That second bit has something to do with the fact that his party only has five MPs as anyone with a basic knowledge of how the Commons works would know.
But that didn’t stop Farage throwing a totally on-brand hissy fit and putting this out on Twitter.
Every week at PMQs I am attacked by the PM and Labour MPs, but have no right of reply. I am just a mere spectator.
So I have decided to spectate from the public gallery today instead.

It’s the fellow spectators in the public gallery that you have to feel for at this point. Imagine turning up to watch a bit of to and fro over the Dispatch Box and finding yourself sitting next to a fuming Farage.
There was no shortage of reaction (AKA mockery) as you might imagine, and these people surely said it best.

Awww does desperate Nigel with the need to be the centre of attention resent being treated by the back bencher he actually is
You want attention – come clean about Nathan Gill and Russia along with other UKIP MEPs – change the habit of a career – tell the truth

Farage sat sulking in the gallery like an oligarch in a premier league directors box, isn’t the look that he’d hope it is..

The HOC does not just sit for PMQ’s
You can have your say anytime it is all put on record, That is how it has worked for a few hundred years, if you could be bothered to turn up like the British taxpayer pays you to do you may understand how the British parliament works— Capman #FBPE (@Euro_toff) October 22, 2025
