Nige is no longer laughing at himself as he 'performs' yet another big speech | John Crace

I mean, Farage's speech was like a bad episode of "The Muppet Show" – all flash, no substance . He's got some old tricks that never get tired, but honestly, it's like he's trying to make us all feel stupid . I love how he's always blaming others for his own mistakes – sounds like my aunt at a family gathering! And that watch thingy? Who comes up with this stuff? I guess you could say Farage's speech was a masterclass in how not to connect with people . He needs to step away from the mic and let someone else try to sell us on his tired ideas .

I don't get why people still listen to Farage's speeches . He just doesn't seem to be willing to acknowledge his own mistakes or take responsibility for anything . It's like, yeah, he talks about Brexit being a mess, but what about the actual work he did to make it happen? His party does sound kinda stale too, I mean, four press conferences in one week is just exhausting .

And that comment about immigrants and watches? Come on, that was low . He's trying to divide people with silly stuff like that . The fact that he thinks he can just wear a fancy watch and be all high-and-mighty? Give me a break .

I don't think Farage has ever been good at connecting with people outside of his fanbase . He's always been pretty divisive, if you ask me. So, it's not like this speech is going to suddenly change anyone's mind or anything . I guess we'll just have to wait and see who he chooses for chancellor next

omg just watched nigel farage's speech and it was like watching a rehearsed script all that pomp and circumstance but honestly just empty words his party's lost its edge and he's struggling to come up with new material it's clear he's running on fumes, always trying to deflect blame rather than own up to his mistakes and that watch comment was lowkey cringeworthy like what even is this guy's problem?

omg, what a total snooze fest that speech was lol i mean nigel farage is just so done it's like he's phoning it in at this point and those press conferences? yeah no one cares anymore. his party has lost all credibility and his only game left is trying to scapegoat everyone else while pretending like he's still the hero he used to be newsflash, nigel, you brought us to brexit and now you're just a relic of the past plus that watch thing? what even is up with that? i mean if you're gonna trash immigrants, at least have the decency to own your own weirdness. anyway, it's clear he's running out of steam and his party is in shambles. maybe it's time for him to hang up his "i'm a champion of fiscal responsibility" hat

I mean, what a snooze fest that speech by Nigel Farage was ! He's trying to cling to relevance but it's just so forced and rehearsed . The guy's lost his edge, plain and simple . His whole "fiscal responsibility" act is laughable when you consider all the dodgy deals he's pushed over the years . And that watch thing? What's next, claiming a bunch of nonsense about immigration? It's just him trying to distract from his own hypocrisy . The whole thing felt like a choreographed PR stunt rather than an actual attempt to address real issues . At this point, I'm not sure how much longer he can keep up the charade before it all comes crashing down
