On Friday Nigel Farage sought to minimise his personal relationship with Trump. “I happen to know him, but that’s by the by,” said the Reform UK leader.
Farage told the FT the bilateral partnership was “our most important relationship in the world . . . whether it’s [Joe] Biden in the White House or Trump.” Last year he said he hoped to become prime minister “quickly while Donald Trump is still in office.”
Lord David Frost, the UK’s former Brexit negotiator, made an even more dramatic shift this week.
The Conservative peer, who once welcomed Trump’s re-election as the “first great victory” of national conservatism, admitted that he had harboured high hopes for the president’s political and economic strategy.
Yet Trump has shown himself “heedless” of the moral element of leadership and “undeserving of support”, Frost said in an article for The Daily Telegraph. “A moral line has to be drawn somewhere and this week Trump went beyond it.”
Others to distance themselves from Trump include the Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who in recent weeks has hit out at Trump’s “childish” repeated criticisms of Sir Keir Starmer.
In February last year she hailed Trump’s return to the Oval Office as “showing that sometimes you need that first stint in government to spot the problems, but it’s the second time around when you really know how to fix them.”

1st it is the Finical Times so of course take it with a grain of salt, it is mostly going to be leftists’ propaganda
2nd it is the UK and nearly ALL politicians there, left and right are feckless limp-wristed wonders cowering to the religion of pieces masses, so ya, expect cowardly behavior.
As Elon Musk noted a while ago, Nigel is not the guy. He’s the Establishment’s last defender. He won’t rid Britain of the 3rd world scum and especially Muslims which is needed to save the country.
The man who would actually save Britain is Rupert Lowe.
The UK has become irrelevant, hasn’t it?
We’ve had 47 years of Iran Chaos. The Trump Administration is finally bringing it to heel.
“Financial Times” == “British honeybucket”
Good, maybe now they stand on their own two feet.

^^^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^
Too hot in the kitchen? Well...better step away!
Correct. I’m following him on X.
Chaos? Ok.
“Internationalism, illustrated by the Bolshevik and by the men to whom all countries are alike provided they can make money out of them, is to me repulsive.”
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr., August 12, 1919
The German ranter was serious, and so are the Iranian “death to America” ranters.
The time to have stopped Hitler wasn’t August 30th, 1939.
The time that matters is when the kicking the can down the road can no longer be tolerated.
They also remember the complete lie we were sold in the last foray into the region.
For almost 50 years we have had terrorist attacks, death threats, put up with their lies and nuclear weapons development, antisemitism, and actually gave them plane loads of cash thanks to idiots in control, and where did that get us? Peaceful nuclear development for energy does not require highly enriched uranium. They had other things in mind. So, finally we have a leader who says enough is enough and puts an end to their barbarism. Elitist cowards always show their colors. Europeans can suck on rotten eggs, and screw NATO.

Absolutely correct.

Yes.
England will be over and done in short order.
Just a northern territory of the new European Caliphate.
I don’t give a shiiite.
Likely these brits are trying to position themselves to not have their heads lopped-off in moozlum britain. Best of luck with that.
