Nobody told me I’d have to work Saturdays, says Farage

A DISGRUNTLED Nigel Farage has complained that nobody informed him MPs could be called into Parliament on Saturdays at short notice. 

The member for Clacton was horrified to receive an alert late on Friday telling him the Commons would be sitting the following day when he had already made plans.

He said: “Oh for f**k’s sake. I thought I’d left all that behind when I quit the City.

“So much for Labour banning zero-hours contracts. Summoned in at the weekend and I find out less than 12 hours earlier? I might as well be doing shifts at Sports Direct.

“It’s alright for all the politics nerds doing their selfies on the train. I’ve got pubs to go to, pints to drink, common sense to opine. I suppose they think cigarettes smoke themselves?

“And I’m meant to jump just because Starmer wants to save British Steel, which really should be my thing because it’s got ‘British’ in it? Bloody cheek. A man’s Saturdays are his own.”

He added: “I didn’t go, obviously. But it’s the principle.”
