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.

Isn’t this an example of the Streisand Effect? 🤔
You've got to admire how Liz Truss' strategy to stop people from talking about how she crashed the economy has involved purposefully generating an entirely new news cycle about how she crashed the economy
