Nigel Farage meets Elon Musk and JD Vance at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort
Sky News ^

Nigel Farage and his party treasurer have met with Elon Musk at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort for the first time since rumours surfaced of a multi-million donation from the tech tycoon.

The Reform UK leader and Nick Candy, the billionaire husband of singer Holly Valance who will take up the fundraising role for Mr Farage's party in the new year, met on Monday 16 December, the party said.

The meeting comes following reports that Mr Musk was considering donating £78m to Mr Farage - an ally of Mr Trump - as a "f*** you Starmer payment".

Later Mr Farage tweeted that he had also met JD Vance, who is set to become vice president.

The Times reported last month that if Mr Musk does decide to make the donation, he would do so through the British arm of his social media firm X, formerly Twitter, to circumvent UK rules that prevent foreign donations to a political party.

Hope he becomes the next UK Prime Minister before Starmer’s party does in Brexit.

I sincerely hope that he does because I’m fearful of vacationing in the UK, especially England, now that the Labour Party has enabled the Towel Heads to overrun major cities around the country!

,,, there’s only two types of guys in the world. Those you’d have a beer with and those you wouldn’t. Farage is rational, at ease and confident and knows what he’s talking about. He’s passionate about the UK. When he gets a spare moment, he’ll deserve that beer.

Maybe Labour will learn from this that interfering in other people's elections has ramifications.

Naaaah, they're not that bright.

Farage is going to be the next UK Prime Minister.

Under the current voting system? Where 30% of the votes got Labour 60% of the seats?

And do you really want someone who has to display that wide-open-mouth inane grin in EVERY photo? That should not matter, but it strikes me as "off". Seriously, what's up with that? Is the clown base that great in the UK?

Reform are currently on 25% according to some polls, and that will only get higher as the Labour clownshow continues, and the Tories will still be despised. Reform has energy and momentum on its side, and the thing about FPTP is that when the votes reach critical mass, the dam cracks and the new party will come flooding in. That is what happened with the SNP in Scotland in 2015.

Counties given ‘extraordinary’ deadline to cancel elections

County leaders have been given just over three weeks to decide if they want to cancel May 2025’s elections in favour of pursuing devolution and reorganisation, LGC has learned...

Postponing local elections might just guarantee a Reform victory Trust in the political establishment is already at a dangerous low: Labour are playing a game they can only lose

But not if elections are "postponed".

Deep States', plural, frontmen are idiots.

The people hiding behind them most assuredly are NOT.

I suspect many will opt to preserve their political careers as long as possible because most of them will be toast at the next election.
