Weasel will weasel.
Going to grift for the orange one in the US then.
Well that’s going to cause a huge shift in the political landscape. A man not standing who’s failed to get elected as an MP the 7 previous times he’s tried.
Me too, because I will get almost 0 votes, which will be on the same level with Farage.
Because cowards like him aren’t interested in any actual position of power because that comes with accountability.
It’s easy to criticise and say you would do things better rather than actually do things better.
The only thing he can claim to be successful in politics in is his Brexit campaigning and what an unmitigated disaster that’s been.
Good. He’s probably of the belief that Reform, like the Tories, are going to get a pasting on the 4th July. Reform is not a political party, it is a Limited Company that takes donations and puts them in the company coffers. Do not donate to Reform.
Perhaps people will finally stop listening to the destructive bullshit and lies that Farage and his ilk have been spewing out over the past 20 years. All that Farage and all the Brexiters have done to this country is to destroy honesty in politics and create division in what is, and has been for many years, a multicultural society. The right wing press have a lot to answer for as well – spreading untruths and lies in their newspapers as well as pandering to the racist elements in society.
Hopefully Farage and many others like him will fuck off to another country and live in fear of investigation. He has done nothing for the country. He has been one of the main characters, along with all Tories, that has destroyed the reputation and respect that the UK had around the World. One has to ask: Who was he really representing and working for? It most certainly wasn’t the people of the UK.
A truly nasty man that needs to be thrown in the dustbin. A true shit of the highest order.
Thing is, not all the fed up Tory voters will defect to Labour. I think Reform will do better than ever. The divide between left and right is huge, thanks to this Tory government.

If people really want to vote for him just cross out the Tory candidate and write Nigel on the ballot paper instead.
Totally legit vote honest.
Well that’s a shame.
It would have been fun to see the voters reject him in a general election for the ninth (tenth?) time!
Of course not. Easier to stand on side lines and throw stones when you have no solutions yourself.
Ego to fragile and its not what he wants
Easier to complain without doing any actual work
Ideally he should stop standing in any sense of the word.
Guarantee he’s positioning himself to be next Conservatives leader. Tories are going into their IDS era again and he wants to capitalise
Rip bozo
UKIP and its remnants on pack watch.
No place for this antagonistic moron in politics
No wonder he is a fan of Trump.
He loves the trappings of power but doesn’t want the responsibility that goes with it.
It’s like 20 stone guy in the stands slagging off the players because he swears he could do better.
Bottle job.
And looking faaaaabulous in his makeup.
considering he lost to a fucking dolphin last time, can’t really blame him
This guy has done immeasurable damage to the UK because of his Brexit antics, which will never affect him or his cronies.
I suspect he has summerised that his most fertile ground would be in the ashes of a destroyed/decimated Tory party.
Him “entering” politics now wouldn’t bear much fruit. But once the Torys have had a kicking that void needs to be filled. Farage and Reform, if they play their cards right, could do it.
He is far better off right now as he is. Cheering from the sidelines on GB News

What a pity. Means I wont have the pleasure of NOT voting for him.
He’s already done his damage. Got what he wanted all along.
Not standing but you can bet the fucker will be in the media everywhere.
Nigel was always the problem, never the solution.
Man of the people, brought and paid for.
He would fucking hate to get into any position of power and have to actually DO anything. And be proven wrong about all the insane lies and BS. The little brexit scrote only exists to lie from the sidelines and make money from it.
EU parliament doesn’t count. He took our money to do nothing but undermine it. Rather than attempt to make anything better or DO anything valuable for his salary.
TLDR useless cunt
He only kept being elected to Europe because he was on the party list.
Did anyone ask him or did he just post this on X, hoping people would actually care?
Is he scared of being beaten by a bloke in a dolphin costume yet again?
Thank God for that. The man who destroyed the UK almost singlehandedly
Damn, I almost forgot he existed before seeing this pop up
I am not making myself available for a call up to the England Euro squad.
Putin’s work is done. Brexit and 14 years of Tory control has done enough damage. UK is pretty insignificant now. Putin will want Farage working on Trump getting back in to fuck up the US as much as possible.
Probably too busy in America trying to shove his head up the arse of Trump
The funny thing is people here seem to be celebrating about this. The reason for him doing this is almost certainly so he can pitch himself as the next Conservative leader after they get destroyed in the election.
Why can’t he just die already, so many good people die everyday, why does this chain smoking walking mouth cancer get to live. It’s an unfair world.
Odds he’s fishing around for a White House do-nothing staff job? Senior Advisor to the President on the ‘Special Relationship’ or some shit?
This is a good thing BUT the fact the he wants to concentrate on the US election just shows what a grifting prick he really is & how he doesn’t really give a shit about this country
He’s a f*cking russian agent. Probably took a big bribe from them and then caused Brexit or at least hugely contributed to it.
