Nigel Farage, the newly elected MP from Clacton, has once again found himself at the center of controversy after holding a marathon press conference that lasted over an hour and 40 minutes. In a move that seemed almost desperate for attention, Farage skipped Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) to instead comment on the session on Times Radio.
Farage's decision to hold such a lengthy press conference comes as no surprise given his history of narcissistic tendencies. Despite dedicating decades to trying to get elected as an MP, Farage has always prioritized self-promotion over substance. His every move seems to be driven by a desire for constant attention and validation from the media.
During his marathon press conference, Farage used the opportunity to espouse his views on the London mayoral election in 2028, which he claimed was being run by a city that had become "too afraid" to leave their homes. He also expressed his support for Laila Cunningham, Reform's prospective candidate, who shared his sentiments about the city.
However, Farage's comments were largely discredited as fantastical and unrealistic. His assertion that three journalists had been gunned down on their way to the press conference was patently absurd, and his claim that crime surveys showed London to be a "dangerous" city was simply at odds with the evidence.
Farage also displayed his trademark inconsistency when discussing foreign policy issues, including Donald Trump's potential takeover of Greenland. He seemed to suggest that this would demonstrate US commitment to NATO, despite the fact that such a scenario is highly unlikely.
In perhaps the most cringe-worthy moment of the conference, Farage refused to apologize for his past racist and antisemitic behavior, instead claiming that the 28 schoolboys who had accused him were "clear fantasists." His assertion that he should be able to earn money on the side through X while in office is a stark reminder of his lack of integrity.
In contrast to Farage's antics, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch was unable to muster the same level of enthusiasm during PMQs, instead choosing to pick fights with anyone who would listen. Her exchanges with Keir Starmer ended badly for her, highlighting her tendency to be unhinged and childish in public.
It is clear that Nigel Farage remains a master of self-promotion, always on the lookout for ways to manipulate the media and distract from his own shortcomings. His latest move only serves as further evidence of this, showcasing his desperation for attention and validation above all else.

he's like a train wreck that u can't look away from! he thinks he's still the king of uk politics just because he won an election 
newsflash, mate: u ain't the only one trying to make it big in parliament. his claims about london being "too afraid" to leave their homes? give me a break 
kemi badenoch might not have won the enthusiasm award, but at least she doesn't need to resort to drama queen tactics every time 
like who even skips pmqs 2 do a marathon press conference? it's just so cringeworthy & desperate 4 attention. his views r so outta touch 2, esp when it comes 2 london & crime rates, lol what even is he talking about? 
and good for him 4 stickin 2 his guns tho, refusing 2 apologize 4 his racist past... that's just not right 
. on the other hand, kemi badenoch seems kinda cool 2 me, but then she goes & gets all unhinged in pmqs 
anyway, nigel farage is def a master of self-promotion, but more like a joke 
... like how did it even happen? Wasn't there some big debate about it? And what's with the London mayoral election in 2028 tho? Why do they need to make that up already? 
Farage's racist and antisemitic past is still a major red flag for me, he needs to acknowledge those mistakes ASAP 
He thinks he's some kinda mastermind by holding that marathon press conference to promote himself like a diva 
! Newsflash, Nigel: when you're constantly talking about yourself, people get tired of hearing it 
. And honestly, his claims about London and the mayoral election in 2028? 
#NigelFarageIsATotalShowman #MediaManipulation #LondonDeservesBetter
. farage's just using his time to promote himself and it's really sad 
.
. we've seen it before, decade after decade, he's always chasing that next big thing, the next controversy to stir up drama. meanwhile, the rest of us are over here trying to keep track of actual policy stuff 
It's just gonna be Farage rambling on about whatever nonsense is in his head at that moment. And to make matters worse, he thinks it's gonna get him attention? Newsflash Nigel: you're not getting any younger 
? And those journalists getting "gunned down" on their way to the press conference? Give me a break 
. It's just more proof that Farage can't even be bothered to get his facts straight anymore.
... I mean, come on Nigel, you're a public servant, not some dodgy entrepreneur trying to make a quick buck off the side 
. You should be ashamed of yourself.
. But Farage? He's just gonna keep on being his usual self-absorbed, attention-seeking self 
... and we're all stuck watching it 
and said the kids who accused him were "clear fantasists" 
meanwhile kemi badenoch was trying to pick fights but got roasted 
. The 28 schoolboys who accused him weren't "clear fantasists", Farage. They were brave young men speaking out against racism and hate speech, and you're just dismissing their experiences like they don't matter 
... despite all the controversy surrounding him, he still manages to get attention & sympathy from some people. it's almost like he's addicted to being the center of attention, and he'll do whatever it takes to stay in the spotlight. his lack of integrity is staggering, especially when it comes to his past behavior 
... meanwhile, kemi badenoch seems like she's just playing right into his hands by getting defensive & aggressive during pmqs 
... what do you guys think?

Give me a break!
. He's basically a master of self-promotion at this point 
. And honestly, who needs three journalists gunned down on their way to a press conference?
