There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.
I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

🎄 Day 15 of our #Shropshire advent calendar takes us to Bridgnorth, with High Rock looking spectacular beneath a layer of hoar frost. It's worth a climb to the top of this sandstone cliff for the great views of the town and River Severn. ⛄
