Former Trump ally Anthony Scaramucci called Nigel Farage a human wrecking ball – 11 smashing reactions
According to Nigel Farage, he’s been offered an exciting job with Donald Trump. He told Julia Hartley-Brewer that there’s a ‘firm job offer’ on the table, connected to Trump’s re-election campaign.
What could he be about to take on? Tie chooser? Milk-shake tester? Gentleman Usher of the Privy Chamber?
Who knows?
As Farage is the man who said French police told him he’d probably been the victim of an assassination attempt because his wheel nuts were loose (not a euphemism), when they insist they said no such thing, we don’t even know if there’s a job in the first place.
This is the first time I have ever, ever wished for Nigel Farage to succeed. Will Trump set aside a granny annexe for his besty at Mar-a-Largo?https://t.co/DBgaHEtKOv

When Robert Peston interviewed Anthony Scaramucci, whose 10 days as White House Director of Communications makes Liz Truss‘s brief stint look Thatcheresque, he asked him about Farage’s comment.
‘The Mooch’ didn’t mince his words.
“With Nigel Farage I would say, can we leave him on your side of the pond?”

“This is another human wrecking ball sort of a disaster kind of person.”
“I don’t know what he’s capable of doing but I’m not a fan.”
We’re not sure whether Peston was laughing because if he didn’t he’d cry. If so …relatable.

Farage is perfect for Trump; tyrants need sycophants. https://t.co/1jnL6lmTvH

What did I say a few weeks ago? Farage will be off for USA to hang on the coat tails of Trump. https://t.co/4Zdr3Dscfp

Thin skinned Nigel Farage is going to run off to the Tories now to demand they impose sanctions on Scaramucci – and they’ll jump to his demands
One thing Farage has in common with Trump. Both have extremely fragile egos and are likely to explode with rage at any mild criticism

He did say he'd leave the country if Brexit failed and it has failed spectacularly.

Of course, this might mean the UK is stuck with him.
