Farage in Parliament: Ranked bottom for voting, speaking… And no surgeries

NIGEL Farage spoke in Parliament far less often in his first year than any other British party leader – and turned up to vote less often too.

But he found time for five trips to the USA in his first six months as an MP. In March 2025 he headlined a Donald Trump fundraiser in Florida.

He also announced he won’t be holding face-to-face surgeries for local residents in Clacton – normally a key part of an MP’s job.

Mr Farage told reporters: “Do I have an office in Clacton? Yes. Am I allowing the public to flow through the door with their knives in their pockets? No, no I’m not.”

The Parliamentary Security Department offers advice to MPs on running constituency surgeries safely.
