Nigel Farage roasted after getting his geography of northern England completely wrong

Nigel Farage has been in the headlines a lot this week after making a political decision which could have a huge consequence on the general election.

While that was probably anticipated, he almost definitely didn't expect to be making headlines because of his poor geography skills.

On Thursday, the Brexit Party leader gave a speech where he unveiled the party's candidates for Hull, which you may or may not know is in East Yorkshire.

Well, Farage clearly didn't know this as at 11:30am he tweeted:

I'm live in South Yorkshire to announce @MichelleDewbs as our fantastic candidate in Hull West.

As you can see, Farage managed to completely mistake which county he was in, which is almost unforgivable up north.

The tweet was eventually deleted but it didn't stop some people having fun with it at his expense.
