Would any of you really give a feck if some random non-official from the US turned up in your town endorsing a local candidate? What Nigel is doing is hedging his bets. This is Reform's first proper crack at the whip. Nigel has lost attempts at seats before, he can't afford to get publicly burned again.. He'll support but not stand. That way if Reform goes the same way as Change UK, (remember them?) at the last general election then he can wash his hands as he never stood, but if Reform do well then he can say how he campaigned for them and then cuckoo a seat next time around.

Because he’s been told by those in real power to stand down and stand back.

[@smeghead135]

It’s a free country, he can do what suits him.

[@johnmoncrieff3034]

Nigel unfortunately made the wrong way to announce his plans for the next six months! All he should have said was he was not standing in this rushed election by Sunak. Then he would spend the whole of he next 6 weeks campaigning for the party. Not mentioning the USA or Trump! If he lends full support to those candidates with a reasonable chance of winning a seat such as Richard Tice, Ben Habib, Lee Anderson, and a few others, he will have done all that could be expected of him!!

[@vicicooper4720]

Looking at the bigger picture, Nigel Farage is correct to deepen relations with Trump. The US is very important to us and the war to save the West. He is probably the only person in Britain who could do so. He will help with the campaign but there is no point in staying to lose a seat. Again. We must work on PR and Reform will win next time round.

[@dougmccoy100]

In 2017 Trump promised a big trade deal with the UK. Like so many things he promised it didn’t happen. However, he did harm our steel & aluminium industries by imposing tariffs on them. Some friend!

[@msimms-lp5qw]

Farage will have no influence on the next UK Govt.Most Americans have never heard of him

[@AaRr-bn3xx]

His heart is obviously in another country... It reminds me of a famous Royal... He's Brexited for a second time !!

[@ivorgotten2368]

I think Nigel standing in a single constituency would be a mistake, as he would need to put all of his energy into campaigning in that single seat. It's much better that he campaigns for the entirety of Reform UK, with TV appearances and debates for the whole party. Richard Tice is a nice guy, but he doesn't have the charisma or the public pulling power that Nigel has. Nigel needs to be the PUBLIC face of Reform UK.

[@Lynwen10]

For goodness sake why is anyone surprised? Can anyone seriously see Nigel Farage as a credible MP? Can you see him diligently having constituency surgeries and meeting his constituents? Can you see him being a good hard working back bencher? He is a showman, everything is about him. With Brexit he could be a star performer and bask in the glory of his victory. I doubt very much Farage figured in the Prime Minister’s thinking when he called for a General Election.

[@Average-man12]

He's right.

[@paulbeattie3502]

I am very disappointed in Nigel he should bring Reform uk as far as they can now not in 5 years.

[@cluckingbells]

I think he has more impact as a TV host than he would as a MP.

[@MarkJones-xo6it]

Nigel your time for your supporter's to follow you again is now over youve done this to us before im done with you your all talk but lack action when it comes to it .

[@RickEllwood]

I'm gobsmacked! Greed over the right thing to do.........Nigel you will regret this for the rest of your life!!

[@johnlocke5382]

Nigel is right. It's the wrong time. Labour have to be in power first

[@juliekerr1544]

Sunak needs to stand down, he’s an absolute melt and this Tory party has betrayed the British people. Give Suella a chance

[@OllyO-gt8pg]

He said over 2 years ago that he would never stand in parliament, don't know why anyone is surprised...I'm not I knew he was off to the USA.

[@Realiteacheck-vq6kt]

He must be angling for an American TV spot. He probably thinks he'll get a show on Fox News.

[@owengoodspeed5763]

What will make a real difference is how we all choose to vote. If we don't want more and worse of the same old rubbish then vote Reform. If enough of us do that, then there can be a political landslide, whoever the individual personalities are.

[@CheesusTheRatJesus]

Not surprised this isnt our country anymore its done its far too late for anything to be done now, no wonder everyone is leaving

[@mymanifesting]

No wonder Britain is where it is with a self defeatist attitude such as yours! It simply takes people to get off their a*+= to vote. SIMPLES‼️

[@christinehill8611]

I have noticed Nigel Falange winds everyone up and then backs away. I am disappointed with him.

[@seekingenlightenment9685]

Is he simply following the money ? Remember, he is a director of Reform UK Party Limited (see companies house website), where his occupation is listed as LEADER OF A POLITICAL PARTY.

[@elizabethkajet5501]

Oh ffs Nigel. The yanks don't appreciate interference from foreigners in their politics.

If Trump wins he too will have to fly over and bend the knee for Chuck, as he did for Ella. So it makes zero difference who is in the White House.

[@msimms-lp5qw]

I dont get how people think Farage holds sway with American voters, He's an irrelevance to them

Nigel can stay on the media until the bitter end. He’ll be more of an asset to Reform there than as a candidate. He’s a king-maker. He’ll be back 😊
