The Reform UK leader told the re-elected Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, that he was better than 'the little man that was there before you', referring to John Bercow. He added that Bercow had disgraced his office 'dreadfully' and did his best 'to overturn the biggest democratic result in the history of the country'

And we’re off 😂
Did we expect anything less lol
and I love it
That is exactly what i said watching this with the wife.. reminded me of the EU ones.. this is going to be interesting lol
We needed Murray Walker for that one!
@@codermik No really. He will find that his opportunities for grandstanding are a lot more limited in the Commons.
Let the circus begin.....
Always been a circus in there

it's always a circus....., but now we have 2 ring masters...

Yeah I know he was a right drama queen😅
Can't wait for PMQs. 😃✌️💪🇬🇧

Going to be very interesting to say the very least though

actually thats a great and true statement...

@@a70770 That woman has more balls than you pal
its so awesome that he has to sit next to Jeremy Corbyn
omg
I wonder if he will kick him
They actually have a fair but if common ground amongst the differences. Corbyn was the victim of a media and parliamentary witch-hunt in the same was as farage was and will be. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if a few of the independents end up at reform before too long.
He will not be sitting there for long. He will be conspicuous by his absence from the chamber.
He doesn't have to sit next to anyone. It's a free-for-all as to where people sit. You just have to get a seat wherever one is available.
Nigel has his work cut out there, harder than the European Parliament for sure.
"Brexit Boy."
Trump will make him leader of the UK as a federal state of the US
Bigger supporters of the European parliament than the European parliament
Was gonna say exactly this. Should hopefully expose him to the extent that at least his supporters who aren't too far gone will finally see him for the grifter he is.
Nowhere to hide in there. They will put him through the wringer every time.
Bercow was a bigger politician than eigth-time-lucky Farage.
I wonder how he feels about ardent Brexit supporter Dyson cutting 1000 UK jobs.
Why? Is it Nigel's fault?
Brexit is.
Probably!
I wonder how many he built though. Typical remoaner, you can't see the big picture can you.
And were they jobs to UK born citizens?
It's not hard to pick apart your argument.
You can write these cute little comments but they don't actually mean what you think they do.
why is UK simping over the very dude that started the downfall of UK is beyond me. Y'all should be going full Guy Fawkes on that lad if you had common sense.
Right-wingers having the memory of a goldfish is not a new thing.
I take it you don't understand UK politics, economics, or history.
The eye rolls and groans at the end 😂😂
Let the games begin!
All the MPs were all being nice and graceful until Farage opened his gob
Keep quite Blairite!
@@nigelrequiem No you keep quiet!
Farage doesn’t do nice, he isn’t there to be liked by 650 MP’s, he’s there to say what millions of people have not had the chance to say to those crooked lot in that place.
Seems to me the only test of grace is to be able to maintain it when you hear something you disagree with. Gob job Farage for highlighting the graceless.
No they were ask engaging in the standard in house clique wokery nonsense that has plagued this parliament for years.
Dianne Abbott being applauded for politics is like Ian Huntley being applauded for child care. And the Labour high five's over the most diverse government in history are just an appetiser as to what we can expect over the next 5 years.
Nigel Farage is a breath of fresh air for British politics. Labour and The Conservatives are literally scared to death of him. He knew he had one minute to speak. Of course he was going to use this opportunity to show the house exactly what he is going to be like.
he was very pleased with himself at his remark about John Bercoe being a little man. he's hardly a giant at 5ft 8 himself
He's really 5'8"? That makes every clip of him trying to act tough even funnier
Little man can mean more than just height
He wasn’t only referring to his height. He was small minded, pathetic, and lacking in dignified stature.
@vonsausage6312 no he is 5'6" so not much shorter than the giant Lafarge.
typical Lafarge, he only attacks little people because he s a coward For him little people are the ones who don't have Coutts bank accounts
@@Peter-AcTax little people?
I wouldn’t worry about him too much. He had a 60% attendance rate when he was an MEP. If I cared that little about my job I’d be thrown out by my collar.
Change your job then 😂
You do realize that a member of parliament does things other than sit in the legislature, right?
No MP attends every session. Some sessions have as few as 20 attendees on private members' bills. An MEP was also a pointless job with literally zero power
He turned up once out of 43 meetings when he was an MEP. He really cared about our fisherman.
60% was probably better than the average. Maybe you could quickly search and post the stats ?
He's a one trick pony. The next time he speaks, the chamber will be empty.
Possibly, but then they can not barage him saying he didn't attend X amount of time in ze EU, can zey? Ya?
Watch out he'll declare independence from the UK next.
I imagine him moving to an oil rig … his own little tax haven
He couldn't say that without saying the word 'little'. Just shows the lack of class he has.
But Bercow is, in fact, little.
@@jrobs1133 He also isn't black and Farage never said "that black man".
@@redplague Liking your own comment is embarrassing. Don’t do that
@@jrobs1133 Not for me.
@@redplague second hand embarrassment for you
Whatever you think of him, Farage will certainly make these speeches in The Commons more entertaining.
We don't need entertainment in politics. It's politics, we need five years plus of boring competence.
Without a doubt
@@RenaissanceEarCandy entertainment increases public engagement which helps to get a bigger voter base invovled in elections. This is not a bad thing.
filling the gap left by Dennis Skinner and his quips to the blackrod...
This the first time and the last time you'll hear from him. Week after week for the next 5 years he'll be ignored at PMQ's
It is up to Labour now. Do your job and what you promise. Then this cancer will recede into insignificance
The fox is in the henhouse.
No, the hen is in the foxhouse. The rest of parliament openly despises him and will chew him to bits repeatedly over the next five years - assuming he bothers to turn up.
Thing is theres a time and a place, this was the opening and part of traditional well wishes for the speaker.
And he wished the speaker well. What's your problem?
He did wish the speaker well, but he's starting as he means to go on. Highlighting with unapologetic confidence the shortcomings of British politics and the politician's evident disconnect with the British people
@@user-zr6pl6nb6z It wasn't the time to air his grievances about the previous speaker. Totally inappropriate.
@@alexfrye6 Clutch your pearls and sit down.
@@user-zr6pl6nb6z Being rude won't change the fact that Farage is going to hate being in parliament if he acts like this for the next five years. If he ever wants to be more than a protest vote then he'll need to get on with people and play by the rules. Seems like he wants to be a protest vote.
I am surprised that Nigel even wants to be a politician after his hand in Brexit and what it did to the country.
That is exactly why he wants to be one, they failed to have a proper Brexit so wants to make sure they don't use the backdoor to return and turn their back on democracy. What do you think Brexit did that was so terrible? Other than slightly longer queues at the airport sometimes?
@lastrolo But everyone was told of the implications of Brexit and how bad it would be for the country, but still he lied and pushed through his own agenda. He is just in it for the money 💰
Dudes be thankful for brexit. We EU nations are struggling and we would be all out. Polandxit, Italexit, Netherlexit, Denmarkxit, Swedenxit, Austrexit and you'd be surprised Germexit and Francexit....
It's almost poetic how Nigel boldly claimed that Bercow, wielding his speaker's mace like a wizard's staff, single-handedly tried to thwart the indomitable will of the British people. Truly, Bercow must have been concocting spells in his chamber, plotting to keep Britain shackled to Brussels. Nigel, UK's valiant hero, exposing the nefarious plans of a lone speaker-it's practically Shakespearean.
I can't wait. Everyone get your popcorn out....

You can't barrage the Farage
But you can spend the next 5 years ignoring him at PMQ's
That was then. The luster has gone
And yet you can't miss him either.
@@Southpoint2019If I were you, I wouldn't bet on that
@@captainnice1881 he had his chance when he was out at sea watching the boats come in. All that noise he made yet turned down the golden opportunity.
Honestly does he not realise what brexit did to our country?
Slightly longer queues at the airport sometimes?
@@lastrolo trade became a problem, because we now can’t get things shipped cheaply from Europe.
“Pros: Keeping immigrants out of the country cause that’s what we all want yeah woo!” First of the uk doesn’t have too much of an immigration problem, immigrants actually benefit the country. 14.8% of the country are immigrants, despite this, over 20% of vital NHS workers are immigrants.
I suggest that whenever he speaks all the other MPs remain completely silent. He thrives on jeering, and loves to provoke a reaction. Just give him tumbleweed!
Golden when a little man calls another little man, little.
The guy on the right looks to be having a panic attack!
Who is he, by the way?
Can’t wait for Season 4 to get going! The first two Brexit seasons were awesome, filled with ups and downs and sudden character disappearances. Season 3 was okay; not much happened. But oh boy, this new character is going to spice things up in Season 4, I’m sure!
Richard Tice probably knew this was coming and decided to stand amongst those without seats to disassociate himself from Nigel.
Claim? Does everyone have the memory of a gold fish these days?
The Guardian is the master gaslighter.
They *have* to put 'claims' otherwise they'd be seen as either supporting or denying his statement. It's basic journalism.
@@lolfearme You might want to read a few more Guardian headlines 😂. Only people they hate make "claims".
@@lolfearme lol so if Farage said the sky is blue would they require to add claims to ensure impartiality?
Since a vast amount of people are ‘overlooking’ the last mess Labour left behind it would appear so.

And each will be more pointless and delusional than the last.
Unfortunately.
Ask him about the £100 billion we are losing every single year from being outside the Single Market.
By contrast we spend about £600 million on public libraries.
What's that got to do with anything?
@@bieituns The EU used to help fund libraries and a lot of other community projects and services with the European Social Fund. We lost all of that, and the government didn't replace it with anything.
@@TalesOfWar Who cares? Better than losing our sovereignty and democracy, culture and identity.
"Ask him about the £100 billion we are losing every single year from being outside the Single Market."
- Firstly, UK is now the 4th largest exporter, leap-frogging France, Netherlands and Japan.
-Secondly, think how much the UK economy will lose due to a Labour government.
@@TalesOfWarThat's the Tories fault isn't it? Farage put Brexit on a silver platter and the Tories did nothing with it, definitely out of spite.

@@samt7351 His politics were a bit more complicated than that, as you can tell by his authorship of '1984'.
Like you lot have any engagement with the truth at all. Your Brexit wrecked the economy. No thinking person wants it any more.
His problem there wasn’t with socialism - but rather how even a socialist movement could be seized upon by power hungry, self-serving authoritarians
Jokes on him. Lot more people loved John then Nigel XD
He speaks differently in 2024. More Lord Haw Haw.
And Farage establishes his bonafides as a complete grudge-carrying twerp.
Hopefully the bar is open now in the House of Commons. BURP. Cheers. LOL
There is not just one bar, across the entire parliamentary estate there are about 30 bars!

@@stevebarlow3154this is not true. There are 8
@@Sir-Blaze It is true. There are 8 bars specifically for MPs, but I said parliamentary estate for which there are 30 bars scattered around the place. Google it!
Why do you put "claims" in the headline? He absolutely did try to thwart Brexit.
No, he refused to just let the Tories ram No-Deal through without the support of Parliament...as was his constitutional duty.

Probably true, Bercow is a serious creep.
Bercow? No

This is, of course, objectively true.
I think this short maiden speech is a big taster of things to come. I do rather look forward to the rumble.
"PMQ's is Box Office politics"
It's not meant to be that, it has been like an unruly school trip to a museum for far too long, we need serious politics from serious politicians.
This berk should should be adorned in a red swallow tail coat and top hat, and bellowing through a loudhailer, and selling tickets to the "big top".
Nigel, please focus on loyal and honourable past MP’s such as Peter Shore and Enoch Powell. Those are the politicians this country wants, those are the politicians we desperately need and those are the politicians that cannot be defeated.
Nice one
So basically Nigel Farage is the UK's equivalent of Donald Trump, making wild claims and such...
^voted labour
Basically. Also both are hated by most of the country lol
He speaks the truth. Unfortunately Brits hates candid people. We in the world know how the former speaker used every trick known to the book in trying to delay and subjugate the will of the people.
@@sirgo0se97”Hated by most of the country.”
Delivered Brexit for the majority. A couple weeks of campaigning by him led to Reform coming in second in most constituencies. Labour only won because the Tories were shocking. Reform took a lot of the Tory vote.
Because people like you are always publicly whinging, you fail to notice there is a silent majority.
Truth is an unwelcome guest in some circles.😂 @@sirgo0se97
Agreed. Bercow brought the office of Speaker into disrepute with his constant grandstanding and pompous self-promotion.
Careful. People on here are feeling a bit hurtful about a man who's not there to defend himself. Sod the voters who watched the debacle unfold, led by someone who took a job on the basis that he won't show any prejudice.
He never.
He held the executive to account. That was his job. Not lying to the house and the Queen.
"Bercow brought the office of Speaker into disrepute with his constant grandstanding and pompous self-promotion."
No.

He did try to overturn Brexit. Honestly, Guardian, where is the journalism we indirectly pay you for in our bbc license fee?
No he didn't, stop saying silly things. What Bercow did was his job, i.e. he tried to make sure the Commons was able to hold the government to account.
I'm sorry but that is really dumb Nigel just loves the sound of his own voice
iirc Brexiters overturned the soft Brexit they had promised the UK public before the referendum. Does any Farage fan want to admit what Farage told us Brexit would look like before the referendum?

I love it. Taking an ounce of Bercow's hide. It shows he has teeth but isn't really aimed at anyone else.
It made him look petty and weak. Attacking a man who isn't even there to defend himself. And to mention Brexit, when a lot of the work that needs to be done to rebuild is directly because of it ...
