Nigel Farage made a rare appearance at Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs), where he faced heckling after congratulating Donald Trump on his recent election win.
Farage, who has been vocal in his support for Trump, was mocked for his frequent trips to the US and his close ties to the former president. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer took the opportunity to make a jibe about immigration, further fueling the lively exchange.
Farage's return to the UK political scene has sparked speculation about his ambitions, including a potential role as UK ambassador to the US.
.Here are the top political news stories for today.
Oh great, Farage is back and still cozying up to Trump. It's wild that he's trying to stay relevant by aligning himself with someone who's so divisive. Honestly, the last thing we need is Farage stirring up more trouble or representing the UK on the global stage. Starmer was right to call him out – we need more focus on real issues like improving public services, not Farage's political stunts.
Farage congratulating Trump shouldn’t be that big of a deal—politicians should be free to support who they want without getting heckled for it. If anything, his close ties to the U.S. make him a solid pick for ambassador, if that's what he’s aiming for.
Good for Nigel, standing up to the establishment and supporting a leader like Trump who puts his country first!
