Nigel Farage issues warning as Reform MP forages for mushrooms for his lunch

Nigel Farage spent a relaxing Sunday foraging for mushrooms for his lunch.

Mr Farage appeared aptly dressed for the occasion, wearing a farmer’s cap and wellington boots.

In a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, the Reform MP said: “It’s mid-October, it’s mushroom time.

“People don’t really seem to want to go out foraging anymore, but I really do.

“Take a look at these little monkeys, these are magnificent. If you don’t know what your pocking, be careful. You can tell a mushroom by how easily it peels and smells.

“This is going to be my lunch.”
