If true…Apart from the obvious grift, this is wrong on just so many levels .
Then again, i can’t say I’m shocked at which party would even consider this appropriate.

They really are a party of grifters aren’t they? Anything to make a few quid.

Nigel Farage’s outfit are just a bunch of grifters who break the rules to dishonestly, fraudulently line their own pockets? Who could have guessed?
The people I feel sorry for are the people in their constituencies who didn’t vote for them and now have MPs who don’t give a shit about them and who aren’t even bothering with things like MPs’ surgeries. Imagine knowing that your neighbours are so hate-filled that they’ll throw your area under the bus in the hope that somewhere there’s a refugee or a trans person who might be worse off.

Hopefully he gets himself kicked out before Reform can do any damage.
Typical grift, and interesting to note the Independent says it was to raise funds for the party. Perhaps support for the party isn’t quite what Nigel has made it out to be.

Huh? Never mind that. Labour provided security for a pop star

Wondering if farage will be offering that to some of his Russian mates ?

As much as I hate Farage this does end up seeming a bit like
“give me 300 quid and I’ll walk you round Parliament”
versus
“Give me (insert any one of many Tory gifts here) and I’ll sell you the whole fucking government.”

The UK parliament should offer Reform UK to tour the building for £300 **each**, so they can see how it works and what it does, seeing as their Leader is a workshy grifter who probably doesn’t know much about it seeing as he rarely shows up and has no interest.
Maybe we could do a culture exchange too and send him to the EU Parliament so he could tour the committees he never attended (but happily cashed the salary of and will receive a pension from). Of course, sending him there could be considered a hate crime and they would be well within their rights to understandably reject him.

Grifters gotta grift.
Is **anyone** surprised at this?

A few years back, my local Tory mp arranged these tours for constituents. I was fortunate to go one time. Really recommended – it was fascinating and I got to see John Bercow walking through Central Hall!

Same with the MAGA folks in the US, I always wonder what its like in the mind of these people?
Like imagine being an “activist” yet really fucking blatantly the party you put all this work in to support see’s you as some sort of cross between a cash-cow and a rube. And you either don’t notice or you say thank you sir yes sir please more sir. Its so fucking weird, these people are so weird.

He needs to make money somehow instead of having it taken off by the other parties

Anyone of any party who is doing this needs to be reported to the Standards commissioner, now.

And what about Kier Starmer being on the take? That’s okay is it? Scum!

Reminds me of the famous photo of Farage pointing as grinning at the £ crashed at the Brexit referendum.
> It came after a source told The Times a Reform branch had advertised a Christmas party for supporters at a central London bar and nightclub via email, with the optional extra of a tour around parliament with an MP.

He would rob the nation blind if he became PM

Look at the responses when Caroline Lucas did this and compare to this thread.

So it was one branch, not the party as a whole
