Is he doing this to gain exposure before the next election? Does he need the cash?

I can't believe Nigel is going to do this, I'm gobsmacked !
This will surely ruin any chance he has of getting elected as an MP ?
Tipped to get 1 million.. Perhaps he thinks he has more chance of winning this than the job of Prime Minister..
He is no different than any other so called (celebrity).. Money is important to them.. One only has to look at greedy Hancock.. :nooo: and he is still at it..
Disappointed.
me too

My hero too. A man who could restore this country, eventually even to normality, given the chance.
Exposure to a large public to find out what he's "really" like could pay dividends.
After all, Boris climbed the greasy pole due largely to his public appeal.
Worth a punt. Go for it Nigel.
I doubt he'll win over the haters.
Quote from: klondike on October 30, 2023, 11:20:05 AMI doubt he'll win over the haters.
Oh, I don't know. After all, I didn't hate Hancock until he appeared on I'm a celeb
Farage seems to be a Marmite character love or hate same as for Trump.
Hancock is just a hate or meh! character for the most part. I suppose some could fall out of that spectrum and really hate him. For me he is just the usual useless tosser type that almost fills today's Conservative party. I don't watch I'm a celebrity as I can more enjoyably study the weeds gtrowing through the cracks in my block paving.
When my niece worked for a guest speaker agency, she had to accompany Farage somewhere. He was a very quiet and introverted character, until he got up to do his stuff.
For someone who is/was hated Hancock lasted until the end on I'm a Celebrity..
It could pay dividends for Farage... Perhaps the public will warm to him..
There are many out there who do not know of him.. It could be the making of him..
Hancock is currently in the SAS reality thing. He's seen off a lot of the competition.
I'm in two minds about Nigel Farage in the jungle. His common sense views might just win a few votes. I bet he gets some disgusting tasks though.
At least Hancock is elsewhere so he wont have to talk to him.
I wonder if some get kept in because a lot of those voting want to be sure they get plenty of horrible stuff. Isn't who is out and who does stuff down to votes?
When does it start, it might even be worth buying a licence for this :grin:
If you really want to see it I expect it would be on catchup. I'd have thought them eating live worms and bugs would put you off though. All that stuff puts me off live or dead.
Looks like it's soon

The Mail says's he's in it.
If The Mail says he's in it.. it must be true..
I shall certainly watch it.. If he is ... Good luck to him..
I watched Hancock.. He didn't shy away from any task.. and he was liked by the others.. I think he received 220 thousand.
Nigel hasn't made his mind up yet :grin: he says within 24 hours he'll make a decision. He wants to get to younger people apparently. I'll just never forget George Galloway in it and it didn't do a lot for his career did it ?
I've never ever watched it ... perhaps now is the time to bite the bullet.
I've only ever seen clips of it over the years, they were more than enough thank you. Load of tosh, no intention of watching it. :waiting:
never watched it, never will
I watched it when George Galloway was in it and again when a footballer I knew was in it, trouble is I can't stand spiders or creepies of any kind so it's not really my cup of tea. I hope Nigel doesn't take part, it's demeaning.
Yep. He said on last night's GBNews that he was undecided and has set up some sort of poll on TikTok - he's apparently trying to connect wid de yoof which I'd say is a lost cause. Hancock might appeal as his IQ is close to their ages but I doubt that Nigel will. Will give decision within 48hrs so I'm guessing on his Wednesday show.
I polluted my phone with the app and voted no. I'm in a big minority - it's 82% yes right now.. I take that to mean that 82% on TikTok hate him and want to see him make an arse of himself. Sadly I doubt he'll see it that way.
I can't see him needing the money, can you !
I think he's looking for a following for his next cause - changing our voting system.
It may be that he thinks he needs to carry the young. I think all they are interested in is watching crap on TikTok and that age old preoccupation of the young. Politics simply don't figure except when they think it might assist in their pursuit of that age old preoccupation because somebody they fancy has been indoctrinated by our lefty educators.
If he can carry it off it might give him the voters that will help him in politics..
I hope he goes in the jungle.. I hope he wins.. and becomes popular..
He is a very shrewd man.. Already he is weighing up his chances by asking the public what they think... He needs this boost, because he is becoming stale..
Alex .. I think George Galloway was in Big Brother...
It's an interesting anthropological experiment. Think some of you are missing that point.

'Gorgeous' George was indeed in Big Brother. He's from my hometown. Married four times, loads of kids (sounds like Boris) pro Palestine, pro the Union.

Sorry , yes you're right but these programmes are all the same :grin: - apart from MAFS, you still watching Scrumps ?
I don't watch it but from bits I have seen it seems to feature mostly z-listers whose careers are on the rocks desperately seeking a bit of exposure on the telly in the hope it can give them a boost.
No idea how many are better off after and how many worse off after demeaning themselves feasting on kangaroo todgers and the like.
[1170] [1170] [1170]
Nigel , along with Jacob Rees Mogg has been given shares in GB News, an incentive apparently. What was surprising is Dan Wootton was given shares he's suspended at the moment so I hope we'll see him return soon.
FT
I hadn't heard any confirmation so had a search. There is none that I can see but I did find this.
https://metro.co.uk/2023/11/01/nigel-fararge-on-im-a-celebrity-is-a-terrifying-prospect-heres-why-19757336/
The author is no fan of Farage and if his views are in any way indicative of those of the people Nigel has said he hopes to influence I think he is flogging a dead horse and will do himself and his cause far more harm than good.
Stick to a pint, pie and chips Nigel.
I'd forgotten about the I'm a Celebrity appearance :grin:
who on earth is Adam Miller ?
Windy's brother?
Surprised he's even considering? Never mind the million he's alleged to have been offered, perhaps it will re-assure that pinnacle of transparent democracy 'Coutts Bank'. After all its only 9% of the sum trousered by that awful, woke ex chairman of the vegan loving Nat-West 'Dame' Alison West. A woman who has breached the Data Protection Act - without prosecution.
Overall I think it reduces Nigel's gravitas, I certainly won't be watching and it will also influence my subconscious future views upon him too I'm afraid.
1.5 million... Is believed to be offered.. Good luck to him..
There are few who would not take up the offer.. Even if they say they wouldn't..
.. and there are few who would be offered such an amount..
There's not enough money in the world to entice me to go on a show like that. I can't stand that type of entertainment, give me a good film or series.
Other than give it away I don't know what I'd do with £1.5m. I guess I'd figure something out though. Be a pauper in Birmingham maybe. :grin:
Won't appen anyway as the only way I'd get it would be on the lottery and I don't bother with that any more.
I read this morning that more than seven in 10 Tory members want Nigel back in the party ! this was according to some poll or other :smiley: He quit in 1992 after John Major signed the Maastricht treaty, that turned out well didn't it !
He's joked he could be Tory party leader by 2026, many a true word etc etc ... ?
One thing he hasn't done is deny he is off to the jungle. I think they like the participants to be a surprise so take the failure to deny as being a pointer. They do have late entrants but with it starting on 19th he'll surely be taking a break from GBNews after this week in order to get there, acclimatise and over any jet lag.

I doubt the Globlist/Remainer MP's about 240 of them would want anything to do with him though and until this 'rump' is mutilated in the next Election nothing will change. Fortunately many of these 'May Traitors' have seen the writings on the wall and have announced they won't be standing next time. So the local association chairmen need to select traditional Tories as 'member's elect'. Good luck!

Perhaps what remain of right-wing politicians could consider trying to form a new political party with those who intend to stand for Reform.
Bliar tried this by changing the name of 'Labour' to 'New Labour' (which of course was actually nothing new!).
A unity of Reform and the right-wing part of the Conservatives could be called... wait for it...
'New Conservative'.
I don't care, as long as whatever forms the next government does something to somehow revert this country to what it was in the previous century, or more precisely, around 1980 to 1990.
Why not ! 'New Conservatives' is just what we need. :smiley:
I'd settle for Old Conservatives - bring 'em back!!

He's still not said he isn't going so I reckon that must mean he probably is.
I looked at one story in the Express and saw this...
And while ITV bosses are remaining tight-lipped about which stars are heading down under this year, Nigel Farage is hotly tipped to be one of them.
The other celebrities thought to be joining the former MP are Denise Van Outen, Tony Bellew, Jamie-Lynn Spears, Nick Pickard, and Josie Gibson.
The other names thrown into the mix could be Fred Siriex, Frankie Dettori, Nella Rose, Danielle Harold, Sam Thompson, and Marvin Humes.
I'm pleased to say I only recognise 2 of those names and know very little about either.
Why the hell would he want to go on a show for failing or retired Z-listers? Well other than the big payout of course.
I only recognised the names of Farage and Detorri
I only recognise one on the list.. and she is a 'has been'..
They are really scraping the barrel.. The show seems to be losing it's popularity..
I will watch it if Farage goes in.. just out of interest..
I know Detorri is or was a jockey. I'd read or heard the name Denise Van Outen but don't know anything about her. Just did a google and don't know the face. Perhaps I get out too much :grin:
First there...

yep
Me too
Richard Tice the Reform leader will be sitting in for him on GBNews. Unlike Lawrence Fox he can at least do the job passably.
I like Richard Tice
I think it would be to great advantage to Reform if Tice were to take Farage's place, at least temporarily.
It would provide him with much needed publicity, as I suspect that many people still have no idea who he is.
GB News is certainly giving Reform the help and publicity it really needs, especially as so many people seem to be actually unaware of the party. I'd advise everyone to think very carefully and take a strong interest in how things are panning out right now in politics.
I've just read somewhere that some old school colleague of Farage has been telling stories about some of Nigel's antics when at school, presumably to help disgrace him.
Ridiculous.
For the record, I too had some extreme views as a school child at a RC school and gave serious consideration to becoming a priest. But, luckily, I realised I didn't fancy young boys that much and thus grew out of it.

Reform UK
Nigel Farage is 'officially' the 'Honorary President' with an 'Emeritus' function only.
Richard Tice is the 'Leader', the co deputy leaders are; David Bull & Ben Habib.
The Party was formed in November 2018, by Nigel Farage and Catherine Blaiklock.
I think Tice is a decent man, who perhaps looks a little 'stilted' compared to Nigel, but he's sound, committed and above all straightforward, good luck to them.
Ben Habib knows his stuff too :upvote:
Yes, I think the leadership skills are there, especially if Nigel decides to take a more practical role in the party.
The real problem is that for a very long time, perhaps at least a century or more, there have only been two political parties which take turns to form the government.
Consequently people only talk about those two and, unbelievably, it seems that many people don't even know about any others than them.
So accepting that such taking turns to govern the country will never improve our lot, the future is bleak.
Has anyone watched it yet ?
I read a real 'hate Farage' piece in the Guardian - where else ? Really unpleasant article, though I must admit a chuckle when the writer described him thus -
"Farage, dressed in pastel shades like a Michael Portillo tribute act. "
I hope he doesn't regret this, but with 1.5 million in the bank he probably won't !
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/nov/20/itv-normalise-the-abhorrent-by-putting-nigel-farage-in-the-jungle
Maybe they could find a use for the abhorrent Grauniad instead of leaves in the jungle?
The story is actually quite amusing - at least as far in as I went was. Not one I can entirely agree with but the opening lines I certainly could....
So it begins again. The annoying and the terminally needy. And that's just Ant and Dec. Then there are the contestants. The very loosely titled celebs in I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! ITV's annual bingefest of sadism.
People you've never heard of. People you think you might have heard of. People you've heard of and wish you hadn't. All human dysfunction is here. An orgy of narcissism.
But then they fall off into moans about their arch demon Nigel Farage. Get over it lads. Against all odds you bloody well lost.
I watched it..
They have a loud squealing black woman.. A (delicate) soap has been..
They have a French cook who thinks because of his accent he is sexy..
A woman who is a critic on Masterchef.. She is strong..
Also a woman called Josie Gibson who cracked a joke with Farage over Brexit.. They both laughed.. They will become good friends I think..
I don't know these people..
If Farage can stick it out and take all that is thrown at him he will come good..
The public will see another side to him and soon tire of picking on him..
Good luck to him and if this is what he needs to do to get attention and proceed in politics than so be it.. At least he has made 1.5 million.. Which is peanuts compared to the Blairs and Johnsons of this world..

I hope he does well and, in fact, comes out on top.
Those who do pick on him, including the Grauniad of course, are either fools or anti-British lefties who hope for the ruin of this country.
The magazine that invented the name Grauniad have now become woke remainer establishment crawlers. I cancelled my sub years back but still recall a lot of the classic terms they came up with such as that one.
The Remainers will try and wear him down..
He's had plenty of experience coping with them. I don't any there will be his intellectual equal.
I am talking about the Remainers who vote for him to do the tasks..

Ooh scary! 😬

Yes there is something about those eyes. To me they seem too starey.
He'll be telling us we can possibly keep slightly more of our own money later in the week in a vain attempt to lessen the electorial wipeout they have coming. I was pleased to read a forecast that Sunak may lose his seat - a first for a sitting PM apparently. That's if he's still PM by then of course.

The 'leading light' Tories set to get the order of the boot next time are Ms Mordaunt, the Sword Bearer, Mark Harper, the Transport Secretary, Jacob Rees-Mogg. The Conservative party Chair. Greg Hands on a majority of 11,241. Lee Anderson, the outspoken deputy chair of the Conservative party, who currently sits on a majority of 5,733. Alex Chalk, the Justice Secretary, just 981 at the last national ballot, (ouch) and Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory leader, who held onto Chingford & Woodford Green with a difference of just 1,262 votes. Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor, 8,817 at the 2019 election, could lose his new Surrey constituency of Godalming and Ash to the Liberal Democrats (yippee)!
Sadly Sunak is among the safer Tory MPs, enjoying a majority of 27,210 in his North Yorkshire constituency of Richmond in 2019. Suella Braverman, the late lamented Home Secretary, also has relative safety after winning a majority of 26,086 in her Fareham constituency at the last election.
However at least this list below should be prised from the slippery pole, mostly remainers, facing Liberals & Greens etc.
• Bournemouth East – Tobias Ellwood
• Chelsea and Fulham – Greg Hands
• Cheltenham – Alex Chalk
• Chingford and Woodford Green – Sir Iain Duncan Smith
• Chippenham – Michelle Donelan
• Chipping Barnet – Theresa Villiers
• Cities Of London and Westminster – Nickie Aiken

• Guildford – Angela Richardson
• Harrow East – Bob Blackman
• Hendon – Dr Matthew Offord
• Henley – John Howell
• Hitchin and Harpenden – Bim Afolami
• Lewes – Maria Caulfield
• Milton Keynes North – Ben Everitt
• Milton Keynes South – Iain Stewart
• Mole Valley – Sir Paul Beresford
• Reading West – Rt Hon Alok Sharma
• Romsey and Southampton North – Caroline Nokes
• South Cambridgeshire – Anthony Browne
• South East Cambridgeshire – Lucy Frazer
• South West Surrey – Jeremy Hunt
• St Ives – Derek Thomas
• Sutton and Cheam – Paul Scully
• Taunton Deane – Rebecca Pow
• Thornbury and Yate – Luke Hall
• Totnes – Anthony James Holland Mangnall
• Truro and Falmouth – Cherilyn Mackrory
• Tunbridge Wells – Greg Clark
• Uxbridge and South Ruislip – Ex Boris Johnson
• Wantage – David Johnston
• Watford – Dean Russell
• Wells – James Heappey
• West Dorset – Christopher Lionel John Loder
• Wimbledon – Stephen Hammond
• Winchester – Steve Brine
• Woking – Jonathan Lord
• Wokingham – John Redwood
• Wycombe – Steve Baker
Currently 15% of all Tories
(and counting) have now declared they won't stand again and good riddance, I've got $100 on them not making 120 seats!
Better to bet on them making more than 120 - if they do at least there is a consolation prize :grin:

Absolutely, I suspect the Remainers are trying desperately to cling to their miserable constituents who are perhaps at the point of voting for the Lib-Dums because we are 'talking' about more North Sea Oil Licences et etc (incidentally I'm told the terms are such s..t, that no Oil Company will want them anyway).
I think Sunak is only interested in being Prime Minister. He enjoys prancing around with world leaders and feeling important. Does he really care about this country ? I doubt it.

When they show him walking the street he simply doesn't look like a PM to me. Bouncing along in overtight ankle flapper trousers with that big cheesey grin. No. Just no.
It just gets worse.. There are few in that party who could run it..
They have all gone out of their way to destroy it..
Dominic Cummings .. What a cunning bastard he is.. Going out of his way to bring the party down..
I just caught some of I'm A Celebrity.. I am not a fan of it.. There is a French guy in there who pulled Farage up on Brexit.. The others soon got bored and walked off.. I don't know the French guys name but he travels around with Gordon Ramsey and an Italian bloke in a series.. And the black woman is still screaming..
Not seen any of it, don't intend to.
Each to their own I guess..
Boris knew Cummings from the Brexit campaign and brought him in to look after any irritating details. Then he ditched him. Possibly Cumming's drive to Barnard Castle to check out his eyesight during lockdown didn't help. We now know that there can be something worse than a woman scorned.
I've watched it because Nigel is in it. A campaign calling on the public to boycott the show has been launched by pro-EU campaign group Best for Britain, saying Farage is known for his "xenophobic politics, inflammatory rhetoric, and divisive role in British society".
Viewing figures are down on the first show apparently, just goes to show he's still a thorn in the lefty side :grin:

I think you're right.
All of the lockdowns were a mistake.
We are all paying for them financially now.
Many children are paying for them in lost education and mental development through isolation.
Others are paying for them in long delays for medical treatment.
Others are paying a higher price because of late diagnosis of some pretty serious conditions.
Many elderly people spent their final days isolated from their families and partners.
By the time of the first lockdown the peak of the infections was already past.
The vast majotity of those killed by Covid were already in poor health.
All of that will be whitewashed out by the lord only knows how long and at what cost Covid Inquiry.
We are still running a death rate in excess of the previous 5 year average rate. That is unexplained but isn't from direct covid infection which is still ongoing.
How is Nigel getting on in the jungle .. ?
I haven't been watching it.. just pick up bits and pieces..
It's thankfully easy enough to flick through this programme. I think he's doing ok, still getting the odd sarcastic remark behind his back. He's up for anything and is helpful to the girls who are afraid of creepies. Why on earth do they go in if they can't stand spiders ?
Nobody is voting for him to do the 'games' probably trying to freeze him out. I think there was a campaign to boycott the programme because of Nigel, pathetic or what !
Yes it sounds very pathetic to me. But that is the normal behaviour of today's wee woke dearies.
Saw on the News there was a row between some black woman and an older man, didn't catch what it was about.......Something stupid I expect.
The little French chef. They were talking about age and he said to her ' I could be your Dad'. The thick coo took it literally and threw a wobbler because her Dad had died two years previously
Not the brightest spark :grin:

Yes, that was Nigel and Nella the elephant. I watched it and it was perfectly clear that she is full of herself and ready to drone on and on about how she and other black people are so unfairly treated by everyone else.
I keep watching the programme (in bits, sadly you can't skip through the adverts!) hoping that that woman is first to be kicked out. She does come across as unpopular, except of course for a certain group of people.
Conversely, Nigel has always appeared to be polite and unflappable.
Nella !! Awful woman.. The bit I caught she was having a row with French Fred..
Poor bloke. He innocently said that he was 'Old enough to be your dad' when ages were mention.. The (screaming) Nella went into one..

I'm sure that's why she was invited on to the show: to stir things up - great entertainment!
It's doubtless why they wanted Nigel too amongst all those lefty types. Bet they are miffed that he just keeps his cool. They should have watched his GB News show to realise none of them can ruffle his feathers.

Yes, one reason why he'd make a good PM.
Unfortunately, the fools will vote for Labour next time.
Nevertheless, I think he should still stand for election. On the opposition benches, he'd certainly hold Labour to account and no doubt will also make them look idiots!
Yes, I'd vote for him, certainly in the unlikely event he stands in my constituency!
I had a look at the program last night.. Nigel seemed very quiet.. I guess the producers only show the bits that they think are interesting... He won't be voted out yet because he hasn't earned his one and a half million..
As Trump would say 'I think the votes are played around with.'.
