The pollsters had got it wrong on the US midterms, said Nige. That aged well

After his embarrassment of epic proportions, Farage turned up at PMQs – the last place anyone would expect to find him

In what counts as breaking news on this slowest of slow Wednesdays in Westminster – most eyes were on the US midterm elections – it was nice to be able to report that Nigel Farage was in the Commons for prime minister’s questions. Not something you can often say.

Despite Reform tanking in the polls, Nige still regards himself as the official opposition and considers it a major insult that he isn’t given six questions every week. Today he was happy not to get one. Not even Nige’s magic shield of narcissism would have been able to save him from hubris. An embarrassment of epic proportions.
