The former UKIP leader has had seven failed attempts to become an MP over 26 years but says he will stand again.

Nigel Farage has declared he will try for an eighth time to become an MP.

Asked if he would launch another bid to join the ranks of Westminster's 650 MPs, Mr Farage told LBC on Tuesday:"I think it'll be my duty to do so."Pushed to name a seat he could contest, he said he was"struggling to think beyond" next week's European Parliament elections and a by-election in Peterborough.

While Labour's Paul Sweeney accused Mr Farage of having a"fascinatingly impervious sense of his own importance".

Where’s a dolphin when you need one . . . 🐬

Farage ignoring the will of the people for the 7th time since he was first told we didn’t want him in Parliament. I thought democracy meant we could only vote once on this issue?

Surely as a MEP it was your duty to go to work and earn the money paid by the electorate. Hopefully there's a rule that states as an MEP its illegal, making you unable to stand for MP so earning more money with your corrupt intent not to work for it..

NF and NF

Yep and nothing to do with being a money grabbing little weasel

Does he not respect democracy? He lost, get over it

Its traditional for Farage to lose too.

It's okay, don't bother. 👋 👋 👋 👋

Bring on the dolphins

Surely he should be standing in a northeast seat, not Kent, to maximise his chances? Something north of Sunderland.

But...but the people have spoken, Nige, why can't you respect their decision?

🐬

Hope it’s no where near me

Haha. It’s his duty to get humiliated again. Why not eh

Nothing to do with this nige

Lest anyone should make the mistake of thinking the Brexit Party are anything other than English nationalists note the return address given on their junk mail. Stamp not required. London is simply London to the Royal Mail, or London UK if mailing from outside our country.

Will Farridge stand if a dolphin is standing as well. In this case Farridge sure to lose his deposit!

Delusions of grandeur and importance. Like he's some kind of messiah. Massive Ego massaging

.....and it’s up to the great British public to vote to ensure he fails again.

Happily Stand with you in Scotland ....

In which constituency? Gammon & Pineapple South?

Just how many income streams does this totally not elite, ‘one of us’, ordinary working man need or want? . . . surely he already has more than enough for his booze & fags from his MEP salary for a job he hardly ever turns up for? 🤔 FarageLies Brexit

He knows nothing of duty.

Was so funny on the Marr show at the weekend trying to avoid his past views on Brexit, if his view can change why can’t others, bring on a new vote

CREAM

🤮

Just as it is Flipper's duty to oppose him. At least he has a porpoise 👍

Well done Nigel. Odious toad.

Fetch the dolphin

He a fighter that's why & ❤ the country, that dosnt Run like most puppets

Oh god no.. 🙈

I don't care where he stands. I will volunteer to knock on doors and deliver leaflets to defeat this lying shit

Do I really have to wear my dolphin suit again?

Such is the state of British politics I should think he has a very good chance of making it 8th time lucky.

Why does every photo of Farage show him with a stupid expression? It’s the same with Trump!

Am I the only person who wants to plant this septic tank?

Nigel_Farage

Can he be a MEP and an MP at the same time.

The MSM are doing everything they can to attack Farage's character. The trouble is, the bias of the MSM is becoming increasingly obvious. More and more of the public know that Sky, the BBC etc. peddle Fake News. Media News FakeNews

🤦🏻‍♀️

7 attempts 7 failures so yeah go for it Nige Nigel_Farage just another attempt and another failure

Sky are as out of touch with how the people feel as our spineless mps are...

Starting off slowly, watching TV. As night goes on, move to mixed drinks, then shooters, finally “Last call.' Farage: One more for me..and one for the sheep, sheep fall down drunk. Hey buddy, you can't just leave them lyin' there.' Farage: “They’re not lions, they’re sheep.'

Yes, we have to ask ourselves, why so many times, 8 times, farage talks the talk, but what else is he really all about, apart getting out of the EU, closing borders, sticking 2 fingers up at Brussels ect, ect, oh, a very big mouth, he's not too bad though.

The fella has an impressive losing streak

No chance.

OMG 😮 no 🍺🍺🍺

I hope he wins

Apparently he's not a career politician though 🤔

Bless. I know a dolphin who’s ready to stand against you.....again.

Ye right that’s why he’s NOT STANDING in the Peterborough by election me thinks I smell shite

Can anyone name the MP’s that beat Farage in those seven previous elections and what changes they made to our society and where they are now? 😳😂😂😂😂😂

I would be so embarrassed if this is the guy that we send to represent Britain. Why does he want to go if he dislikes it so much? Does he get paid for it?

That's right Nige, you show those political elite people, and those rich toffs who ride around with chauffeurs getting involved in car crashes, then of course walking away at the scene.

If he attends the House of Commons as often as he does the European Council he’ll not be there enough to notice.

No it’s really not luv !

Nigel_Farage

Farage's duty is to himself He is bought and paid for by US interest groups and super rich

He’s making a tidy living conning silly people out of money.

Took a bashing of AndrewMarr9 the other night. Falls apart like a cheap suite when grilled.

Go for PM Nigel. Form a new party with Johnson and go for it. A real conservative party.

It is his duty to lose 8 GE’s in a row

Nige, it’s spelt ego mate - E-G-O

Go to hell Nigel

I don’t like the man, but will get my vote, because even though I voted to remain in the EU, I also believe in democracy and Brexit should be honoured.

He will be making a massive statement on the 23rd be afraid be very afraid

The racist wankstain will probably lose to a dolphin again

Got to deal with anti Democratic remoaners and the anti semitic left

Hoping to keep his 100% general election record up?

If elected I hope his attendance is somewhat better than in European Parliament.

Farage for PM !! Brexitparty

God he hates the political elite doesn’t he. How many times has he tried and failed?

Nigel Farage already ingrained as a member of the privileged elite seeks to join the Westminster elite.

Its good he's got fight but happens if the goverment honour brexit voters winning vote .what will he do then

I got a Brexit party flyer in the post today. It was too big to wipe my ass with, so I just threw it in the bin.

Look st that voracious grin ! He reminds me of Kermit the frog

Lol

God help us dont we already have enough idiots in parliament?

MP states that ITVs Jeremy Kyle show should be axed!!! The most sensible thing I have heard thats come out of an MPs mouth in the past 3 years!!!!

Duty to who exactly.........?

Sky News : The best news since the NO VOTE on BREXIT, and what a disaster it has turned out to be! A straight talking MP is what we need after all the broken promises and delays occurring over three years. My tip is to FORAGE around and pick the best one? 🇬🇧

Hope he wins!

I have never doubted that I was right to vote against the “Withdrawal Agreement”, but this dramatic insight only confirmed my deep conviction that we were fighting a surrender to the European Union all along. adamboultonSKY BethRigby KayBurley lbc

Why Farage don’t try in Brussel to get votes as MP . End of the day he has been there for 25 years and is been known more there , than is known in Britain.

The man is completely deluded. I actually think he believes the nonseyand bile that comes out of his obnoxious mouth

So..... how many votes does he get? The people have spoken, they don’t want you!

This man is up realDonaldTrump bum!

So what are his actual policies apart from Brexit! Health education etc etc

Who is he?

Only one man for the job!!!

When does he get his OBE for services to entertainment?

Its has always been about him having a job, not how the outcome of Brexit affect businesses

He might win a seat if he stood in his living room but that’s debatable 🙄

Didn’t he say once he wouldn’t stand coz he’d have to turn up, or was that a parade?

Anything to stop him having to get a real job despite being a man of the people. 🤷‍♂️

Oh please no more nooooooo! Enough is enough

This is going to be good. Go nigelfarage take out these traitors and chickens

It is also his duty to lose for eighth time

And when it gets tough - he’ll throw his toys out of the pram and deny all knowledge of foi g anything classicFarage

It could well be different this time ..but where

And it is our duty to make sure he loses again 🤣

…. and fail.

Time to smash the elite at the ballot box, its payback time. First step the euros, second step the by election in Peterborough, 3rd step the next general election, don't get mad, get even join the brexit party today

When the man... comes around.

Topping up his gravy again

maybe he can stand next to a bus with the slogan that 350 million a week can go to the nhs...oh wait that happen...oh wait that was a fabricated lie...oh wait people believed him and were in the mess that we are in now because of it

Go for it Nigel This Country Needs You and Many More Like you.

Hes just got my vote while Corbyn and may piss arse about blowing smoke up each others arse

No it's not.

He was virtually unknown when he decided to stand as MP - and lost - the first 6 times. Nigel didn't really start making the headlines until late 2012/early 2013. (1/2)

And it’s our duty to make sure he loses again😀

😎-

If he wins a seat is he going to storm out after every speech or contribution to a debate as is his way.

Go Nigel. Save Britain!

Brilliant news , an MP who will stand by his manifesto and promises , arise Sir Nige

Cant wait to beat you again 😆

8 times the charm 👍

Wanker !

And get beaten by a bloke dressed as a dolphin again hopefully! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is dishonest journalism. The first-past-the-post system means people vote for a Party, not for an individual. It is no reflection on the character, caliber or capability of an individual if they are not elected. You can stand as many times as you like.

What exactly does he stand for?

Of course it is, money for nothing.

I sincerely hope he does. I'm a lifelong Conservative, but it's now clear that the 'traditional' parties have no respect for either the electorate nor for our democracy. The Brexit Party is committed to delivering what people actually vote for, and that can be no bad thing.

If only the Thanos snap was a thing...

And it’s our “duty” to ensure he isn’t elected.

Yep, and Fail for an 8th time

Absolutely
