Nigel Farage spent hours at the restaurant while MPs discussed defense spending. Earlier, he criticized the government on this issue, saying the country was 'defenseless'.

Nigel Farage was not in Parliament when the debate on defense spending started at 12:30 pm on Tuesday. The debate lasted for hours.

Instead, Nigel Farage marked the 10th anniversary of the UK's vote to leave the EU by visiting a restaurant in central London. He was there from 1 pm to 5:20 pm.

Nigel Farage was seen leaving the Saint Jacques restaurant in London.

Other people at the celebration included Richard Tice, George Cottrell, Baroness Hoey, Arron Banks, Andy Wigmore, and Raheem Kassam. They all support Brexit.

The restaurant serves traditional French dishes with a modern twist. It has a peaceful courtyard, which is rare in central London.

The restaurant offers expensive dishes like wild turbot and foie gras. It also serves snails and a large beef dish for two people.

Nigel Farage posted a photo on Facebook showing him with his friends in the restaurant's courtyard.

The photo on Nigel Farage's Facebook page showed him with Richard Tice, Baroness Hoey, Arron Banks, and Andy Wigmore.

Baroness Hoey shared the same photo, saying it was good to join the 'Bad Boys of Brexit' again to celebrate the 10th anniversary.

Richard Tice reposted the photo, saying 'The band is back together again to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Brexit'.

Arron Banks and Andy Wigmore were also at the celebration.

Nigel Farage's absence from the defense spending debate was noticed by other MPs.

Shadow defense minister Mark Francois criticized Nigel Farage's party for not attending the debate, calling them 'plastic patriots'.

Mark Francois asked if people who claim to be patriotic should at least attend debates about the country's defense.

Labour's Graeme Downie agreed with Mark Francois, saying that politicians who use the flag for show are not worthy of leading.

Nigel Farage's aide George Cottrell and Baroness Hoey were seen together.

Nigel Farage had a tough time in interviews earlier that day, facing questions about a £5 million gift he received.

It was reported that Brexit may have cost up to a million jobs and damaged the economy.

Raheem Kassam and Arron Banks were seen together at the celebration.

A Reform UK spokesman said that opposition debates are just for scoring points and have no real effect. They claimed that Reform UK had spoken in a defense debate earlier.

The spokesman said that Nigel Farage spent decades campaigning for Brexit, so celebrating the 10-year anniversary was time well spent.
