Farmer’s success as a businessman has been outshined by his transition into politics. He has taken over as CEO of the American-based social networking and microblogging service, Parler Moment which was closely linked with Trump fans with over 20 million active members.
Farmer’s participation in Parler, an American social media platform, is a fascinating step.
In 2018, Farmer and his clubmates donated $76,000 to Theresa May’s Conservative Party. Trump subsequently founded his own social media network, Truth Social, but Farmer’s role as CEO of Parler has kept him in the spotlight as a Trump supporter.

Farmer supported the former leader, David Cameron when he accepted the Centre for Social Justice’s Breakthrough Britain report emphasising the wider social repercussions of family breakdown.
On 5 September 2014 Farmer created a life peer as Baron Farmer, of Bishopsgate in the City of London and in the House of Lords joined the Conservative benches. His maiden speech was about women’s homelessness, domestic violence and social exclusion.
He is also a vocal supporter of welfare and prison reform and was commissioned by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to carry out a review of how supporting men in prison to have better family and other relationships can reduce reoffending rates.
Following its acceptance of his recommendations, the MoJ commissioned a further review from Lord Farmer on the importance of relationships for female offenders’ rehabilitation, which is also being implemented.
