Amazing bit of 2019 footage this.
Frei doing a great job of trying to hold Farage to account as he and Nathan Gill go walkabout.

It must be a bit tricky at the moment for the UK government.

There are two immutable facts when it comes to Trump.
1. Every accusation is a confession
2. Every wild assertion is a distraction
Gaz-a-Lago is a distraction from the coup underway within our federal government, led by Oligarch Musk.
