Farage announces plan to permanently duck the media

In April 2026, we learned that Nigel Farage had failed to declare a £5m ‘gift’ from a foreign-based crypto billionaire. Ever since then, the man has been doing everything he can to avoid media scrutiny. And now, motormouth Nigel Farage – the man who built a career out of taking every media appearance offered – has decided to become a f*cking blogger:

When are you going to write an essay about the £5m? https://t.co/AYE6vIUx9k

Farage — Man of words

The first thing to note about Farage’s essay is that it’s 35,000 words long. This is a third the length of a good-sized novel. And as such, we’re going to hazard a guess that Farage did not in fact write it himself.

When we learned Farage was going to become an essayist, we immediately thought ‘are his supporters going to read this?‘. When we saw the word count, it became obvious the answer is ‘no’.

The theme of the first essay he’s pretended to write is ‘white people are the real oppressed group today‘. We’re going to hold our hands up and admit we won’t be reading it, because why should we? If Farage has opted out of defending his ideas, we’re opting out of reading them.

If he’d like to agree to an interview, however, we’d be happy to read his ghost-written whinge-fest from back to front. The price would be that we in turn get to ask him about the £5m ‘gift’.

Running scared

While Farage has said he’s doing all this to avoid ‘distortions’, others have argued Farage is seeking to avoid people calling out his own distortions:

Farage says his new theme of racial politics will now be pushed in his own Substack.

The idea, it seems, is to avoid scrutiny by anyone who may point out his carefully-crafted misrepresentations.https://t.co/k6ejc34BJW https://t.co/QXsBtYt0jv

There’s clearly one thing that’s distorted in all this, anyway, and it’s Farage’s mind if he thinks he can run for PM while hiding behind a laptop in some dingy Westminster office.
