Nigel Farage Mocked for How He Celebrated England's World Cup Victory
Social media users accused the Reform leader of faking his support after the image matched a 2024 Euro post.
- On Thursday, Reform leader Nigel Farage faced mockery after posting a photo celebrating England's 4-2 World Cup win over Croatia, which social media users identified as a reused image from a 2024 Euro match against Denmark at The Armfield Club in Blackpool.
- Critics labeled the Clacton MP a 'fake fan' after noticing identical settings and companions in the two-year-old image; a Reform UK spokesperson later confirmed the picture originated in 2024, admitting the error.
- One user sarcastically joked that Farage 'arranged for everyone' from the 2024 pub visit to reunite in identical clothes for the 2026 match, while Mirror US Political Editor Mikey Smith questioned if the image was current.
- Farage has spent the week campaigning in Makerfield, Greater Manchester, alongside candidate Robert Kenyon, while facing scrutiny for preferring stage-managed photo opportunities over direct media engagement.
- This incident follows recent criticism of Reform's football-related posts, including a controversy involving MP Sarah Pochin, as Farage continues facing questions regarding a £5m gift while avoiding the press.

Farage posts years’ old photo to pretend he watched England game
Nigel Farage has attracted criticism recently for avoiding the media. In the latest example of this, the man has posted a two-year old picture and used it to pretend he was out last night watching the football: He's given up. Reposting an image from two years ago; can't even be bothered to pretend he was watching England. I'm only surprised that he didn't use Ai to make a false image — that seems to be Reform's latest trick. https://t.co/Xtqoth…
