Nigel’s statement was not congruent with actuality…

The leader of Reform UK has backtracked over comments he made about not being able to hold constituency surgeries in Clacton.
Nigel Farage MP said last month he was advised by the Speaker of the House of Commons office not to hold the meetings due to security.
But the Speaker's Office and parliamentary security team said they had "no recollection" of telling Farage he should not hold in-person surgeries, according to the Press Association.
The Clacton MP was asked who was "lying" at a press conference and replied: "The Speaker's office is always right".
Farage had told LBC in September that he had been advised not to accommodate the "old-style" physical meetings between MPs and constituents.
'Fundamental to democracy'
Mr Farage said: "Do I have an office in Clacton? Yes. Am I allowing the public to flow through the door with their knives in their pockets? No, no I'm not."

tbf, that was over four months ago - I’m sure he’s held a constituency surgery by now…
