“I’d put my money on Trump just off the top of his head issuing an endorsement for Nigel Farage as British prime minister."
Scheduling the UK election to overlap with the US election in autumn would be "a bad idea”, warns Peter Mandelson. Polly Mackenzie, Daniel Finkelstein and Matt Chorley discuss what it could mean for Rishi Sunak.

Anyone in this country who likes Trump, already likes Farage. And Putin, to boot.

Does Mandleson get too much credit. If the mood in the late 90s was similar to now it’s not got much to do with Labour strategists 🙃

How? He can't even win a seat. Even if the Tories appoint him to the Lords, it would be unprecedented in recent history for him to be PM. Would just about take the biscuit for democracy, bad enough Cameron representing UK abroad.

lord Home was dominated leader of the Conservatives would he resigned his title and stood for parliament, His mother apparently said 'I feel sorry for Alec, he is caught between the Ermine and the Vermin. At the time I was outraged but when I hear people citing a con artist like Farage I begin to have some sympathy , I mean would any candidate see to be endorsed by Al Capone of Jack the Ripper? The masses love the weird, Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage the Bluster Ketone of politics Trump. I am astonished at the gullibility of the masses, all these naive people Trust the People! I am afraid I do not subscribe to a Pathology masquerading as an infallible, Nigel says this, Nigel says that and it is all Balderdash Good people are crucified for minor lapses, persistent criminals are considered suitable presidents, So much for Mass education or its lack. And all this guff about Patriots. A Major General in the British Army said to me 'Patriots, they are the brave chappies on the home front who confuse the public with the enemy Flags, self righteous, but never in the Trenches were being alive was the challenge, never md the bloody flag!/

Doubt it. winter is a tough time for incumbents. The best time would have been may, before the warm weather and more boats, before the bad weather and longer NHS waiting lines. The longer they wait the more votes the Tories lose to Reform.

The most depressing part of this whole story is that there are some people in the U.K. who think a Trump endorsement is a positive thing. Truss and Farage are not only seriously unfit for purpose, they are also seriously unhinged.

The left simply cannot go a day with demanding an apology. Accordingly is he going to say Kier Starmer should apologise for Jeremy Corbyn. No he does not he is just being sly puppeteer again, plus love the whisper in the ear delivery style like he is somehow on their side.

I don't think a Trump endorsement of Farage would have any kind of benefit for Farage, even if you look at the people that Reform need to attract they are generally going to be the more centrist Tory voters assuming the majority of far right Tories are already thinking of voting for them anyway.
