“The spat is now overshadowing Farage’s relationship with Trump, according to the president’s former senior adviser Bryan Lanza.
ITV Presenter Robert Peston asked: “Does he [Trump] listen to Musk? Will that have damaged in a sense the president’s view of Farage?”
“Nigel Farage is a much smaller person in Donald Trump’s eyes than he was two weeks ago as result of Elon’s tweet and engagement on this issue.”
Its good when these freaks start to eat each other.
Given the main defence of him never actually doing anything in Clacton was always “yes but he has Trumps’ ear/is representing Clacton on the global stage” I’m wondering what the next line people are going to use to defend his complete lack of work as an MP.
If Farage had any sense he would call out Musk over his gesture and say he wanted nothing more to do with him. He could then criticise the government for kowtowing to Musk and failing to criticise him. Given the relationship is dead you might as well try and make political capital from it
Hahaha. I saw someone on the Reform Reddit actually question whether Farage should be leader after Musk’s attack. The same Redditor had praised Farage in a comment a few days before.
Why would the president of the US give a shit about an MP in the UK even if leader of the UKs 3/4 th party? Why is this even a thing. Can both of them piss off out of my feed??
Farage was never going to be useful to Trump and there is schadenfreude in seeing Farage fail to realise this. Badenoch will be more useful now that the Tories are further right wing than ever. Farage might be a party leader but he has little power and his influence is not as big as he makes out. Falling out with Musk just weakens him even more. Farage is trying to hang out with the cool kids when they just like that his parents are cool with them drinking at his house.
Ooh there’s a dilemma for the ex-commodities wanker. Does he cosy up to Muskrat The Nazi for the dosh he so desperately wants balanced against his close association with with the “everyman” image the posh tosser wants to portray
Problem Farage has is simple. Trump likes people who look good on TV, Farage has a face like a frog that’s been stamped on.
This is something Farage has never really grasped in his unrelenting simping for Donald trump and the ‘special relationship’ more broadly.
The USA since ww2 has never seen the UK as it’s equal and is happy to cast us as a nation or any political parties over here aside unless we acquiescence to their every whim.
The ‘special relationship’ is a phrase almost never used by Americans to describe us.
At least with the EU we had the third largest seat in it’s parliament and ability to influence proceedings.
With the USA it’s a case of supporting them entirely or risk being ostracised completely.
Farage is reaping what he has sown, having a lack of support from any major superpower is now just making him look weak.
It’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on, but Trump and Musk seem to consider the conservatives a safer bet at this point. Boris was invited to the actual inauguration and not just the public after party, Boris already knows Trump, and Boris is far more popular and will likely mount a Trump-esque resurgence by the next election. The last thing they want is both Reform and the Conservatives splitting the same vote so will only back one. Farage looks out of it long term.
“…Former advisor to Donald Trump”
His advice is no longer required, but let’s believe him anyway. The facts from people who matter (Trump, Musk and Farage) are simple, Musk hasn’t spoken out against Farage since, which tells you the opposite is more likely to be true and he was instead persuaded against doing so by Trump.
The lack of critical thinking in this post is amusing.
Elon basically threw away Trumps biggest asset in the UK. Can’t imagine Farage will be very friendly to them after this
If Elon’s aim is to get a far-right government into power in the UK sidelining Farage is a truly bizarre strategy. I suspect this is more about forcing Farage to learn his place and do exactly what Musk tells him to.
> “Nigel Farage is a much smaller person in Donald Trump’s eyes than he was two weeks ago as result of Elon’s tweet and engagement on this issue.”
It’s almost like you shouldn’t value the goodwill of a narcissist…
Farage looking at the thousand other people Trump has “befriended” and then completely disregarded: surely this won’t happen to me.
President Musk won’t tolerate his peons from disagreeing with him. His orange muppet will do his bidding and Farage will be punished via less exposure to the orange muppet.
Love that Nigel Farrage’s biggest political failure is from trying to appear moderate to appeal to a wider electorate and being totally squashed. After a career of chuckling away at people trying to promote moderation in politics, you have become the biggest loser of them all. Good job Nige, you got destroyed by the exact sort of politics you helped to build. Knowing that Nige will be so bitter knowing there is a genuine facist government forming in the Anglosphere and he’s not allowed to play with them.
lol, watch him beg to get back into Trumps good graces. Pathetic scum.
Don’t get too excited, farrage is still getting daily retweets from Elon
It feels like this “relationship” has always even pretty one-sided, Farage is always hanging out wanting to cosy up to Trump but you rarely see them together.
Musk is the bigger offender here, once Musk got into a position of major power he basically tossed anyone out he didn’t need anymore.
Hope it’s beginning of the end with him. Hubris of trying to suck up to US politics tanks him due to far right infighting
Great, I pray every day that the far right eats itself the way the far left always does.
Trump got what he wanted, and thus Farage is surplus to requirements.
