Farage attacks remote work – whilst advertising remote position
Nigel Farage is going after work-from-home, in a hypocritical attempt to make it look like he’s ever worked a day in his life.
🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance

Of course, Nigey isn’t telling us that he previously employed his wife to work from home.
Nigel isn’t telling you that his ex-wife worked from home when she worked for him.
He also won’t tell you that the majority of Reform UK roles are hybrid. https://t.co/JwNz63f690

To make matters more infuriating, Reform UK also happens to employ people who work from home.
As the Independent previously reported, Reform UK advertised for its South Central regional director as:
home working with occasional travel within the region.
Hilariously, it advertised this role online only days after Nigel Farage promised that no Reform-run council would allow anyone to work from home.
Excellent discovery by @ThisOneAgain123 to spot that despite wanting to scrap your Work From Home, Farage’s Reform are hiring their own staff with work from home arrangements. pic.twitter.com/aXRZ2PGzPI

Farage said that people with jobs related to climate change, diversity, or anyone working from home:
all better really be seeking alternative careers very, very quickly.
Farage is leading a party of millionaires
Of course, Reform UK are not out to bat for ordinary working people. Whilst they might claim they are, what we need to remember is that the only people who benefit from office-based work are those who own the offices, i.e. rich people.
Populist announces a deeply unpopular idea.
The only people who benefit from a return to office based work, are those who own the offices.
Reform are a party for the millionaires, not the working people.— LeftSideOfHistory (@leftsidehist) February 9, 2026
When offices sit empty, the rich lose money. And oh, what a terrible shame that is.
The amount of white-haired folks in that audience; positively giddy at the prospect of dictating how *I* should work and earn – to pay all my taxes – to fund their ironclad pension hikes and fortnightly dawdle down to the GP.
Least self-aware generation there’ll ever be. https://t.co/hcr7MrCnQY— James (@JamesFl) February 9, 2026
Additionally, it’s the right-wing shit rag newspapers that are peddling the anti-work-from-home bullshit. Again, fewer people on foot near offices means they lose their precious millions.
The only other people who don’t like work-from-home are those who can’t.
The only against WFH are those who cant.
I use less petrol, means I can use my lunch break to get the kids, saving me money, I dont have the shite daily conversations meaning I get more work done. I am infact more productive in every aspect of my life due to being able to WFH https://t.co/oUu8pGxaXg— CMF (@Ohffs1984) February 10, 2026
And why have Reformers managed to pack a Monday afternoon rally to the brim? Shouldn’t they all be, erm, in an office?
Nothing says ‘people should be in the office’ like a packed Reform rally on a Monday afternoon. https://t.co/iCM5TDrybS

Accessibility matters
A Reform government would push even more disabled and chronically ill people into work.
Importantly, working from home allows some disabled people to hold down a job. Farage’s attempts to end work-from-home whilst also claiming to want more disabled people to have jobs are contradictory and bullshit. If he actually cared about disabled people, he would be encouraging work-from-home, or work from wherever the hell you want to, as long as the work gets done.
Farage is a hypocrite. And basically, you can’t work from home unless it serves him and his pumped-up little agenda.
