UKIP leader and Leave campaigner Nigel Farage has made an emergency appointment at the Passport office after accidentally leaving his passport in the pub.
The incident is said to have occurred after he showed a group of drinkers what he looked like eight years ago, before waving it around like a winning lottery ticket.
Farage only noticed it was missing when he went to get it out in front of another group of potential Brexit voters, approximately six minutes later.
A brief search of the pub failed to see the passport returned.
Farage told reporters, “Do you know how easy it is to get a so-called British passport these days?
“You book an appointment, give them a couple of hundred quid and 24 hours later you’ve got a shiny new prop – passport, I mean passport.
“All because of the EU. If we vote to leave – and I think we will – then we can make getting a replacement passport as difficult and painful as it used to be.”
Passport office officials told us they are going to produce one for him without the tiny words “European Union” on it, as it’s the only way a man waving a British passport whilst demanding a British passport can be made to look even more ridiculous.
