Nigel Farage has thrown his toys out the pram after Andy Burnham didn\u2019t invite him to a conversation over social care in England. <\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Burnham will meet<\/a> with Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch and Lib Dem leader Ed Davey to discuss how to reform social care. <\/p>\n Burnham has made social care reform in England one of his main aims as prime minister, having openly said he is willing to spend \u2018whatever political capital I have\u2019 on addressing the issue. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m serious about fixing this issue and to do that, we have to find common ground and listen to others,\u201d Burnham said on Tuesday. <\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t long after the announcement that Nigel Farage piped up though, reacting angrily to the fact he wasn\u2019t invited to the talks. <\/p>\n READ NEXT: James O\u2019Brien nails Reform\u2019s \u2018impossible hypocrisy\u2019 over Polanski Instagram post<\/a><\/p>\n He said: \u201cIt\u2019s now clear that Burnham is conspiring behind closed doors to foist further tax rises on the country. <\/p>\n \u201cThe fact Davey and Badenoch are going tells you all you need to know\u2026 this is the uniparty in action.\u201d<\/p>\n But it seems Farage has forgotten a crucial detail that would explain why he wasn\u2019t invited to these talks \u2013 he\u2019s not an MP. <\/p>\n It must have slipped poor Nigel\u2019s mind that he resigned as an MP so he could spark an attention-seeking by-election in Clacton again, where he\u2019ll be running against Count Binface. <\/p>\n Many were keen to remind Farage of this, with a community note quickly appearing underneath a tweet about his anger.<\/p>\n It helpfully explains: \u201cNigel Farage officially resigned his seat as Member of Parliament for Clacton on July 8, 2026. As he is no longer an active MP, he cannot vote, introduce legislation or amendments, or participate in House of Commons debates alongside other MPs like Burnham, Badenoch and Davey.\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 NEW: Nigel Farage hits out at Andy Burnham for not inviting him<\/p>\n “It\u2019s now clear that Burnham is conspiring behind closed doors to foist further tax rises on the country.

Why would he invite him?<\/p>\n \u2014 SKB (@TheOnlySKB) July 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Last time I checked, he resigned from his position\u2026 So on what grounds will he be invited?<\/p>\n \u2014 Chibuike Udoji (@IkemRaph) July 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Such a sour man. He isn\u2019t an MP and his party has a tiny % of MPs. Not to mention his party is literally made of up of \u201cuniparty\u201d failures.<\/p>\n \u2014 jake (@jakelchambers) July 28, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Reform are lying when they moan about Farage not being invited.<\/p>\n Farage is no longer a sitting MP so cannot be invited to these discussions.<\/p>\n Now, let’s go back to why he called a by-election. Was it something to do with finances? https:\/\/t.co\/SCbgpv6riC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Damian Low (@DamianLow3) July 29, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Confirmation that Nigel Farage believes himself above the law.<\/p>\n He resigned as an MP to avoid an investigation into his own dodgy funding, but STILL thinks he should be involved in governmental discussions.<\/p>\n He never turns up to work as it is.<\/p>\n Entitlement turned up to 11. https:\/\/t.co\/ycdyY4sfkh<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Don McGowan (@donmcgowan) July 29, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n 1. Why would you be invited if you have zero intention of helping those suffering in the current social care system?? <\/p>\n 2. Apparently it’s only a democratic outrage when Nigel Farage isn’t invited. Funny how nobody’s demanding to know why Zack Polanski wasn’t there either. Not\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/2mDaqDh2Pk<\/a><\/p>\n
