By now, you’ll be aware that a dramatic near miss has resulted in Donald Trump sustaining a slight injury to his ear, one of the rally crowd losing his life, and two others sustaining injuries described as ‘critical’.

Understandably, the news cycle has been dominated by updates into the investigation into the shooting, now confirmed to have been carried out by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was himself fatally shot by Secret Service officers.

The attempt on the former President’s life has been condemned by those on all areas of the political spectrum. This was the message from Joe Biden.

Despite vowing to boycott the BBC, Nigel Farage, who had been planning to head to the US to support the Trump 2024 campaign before winning his Clacton seat, spoke to Laura Kuenssberg about the shocking incident.

He told GB News that he intended to head to the US to support the man he describes as his friend.

He laid out his intentions in the Telegraph (where else?), blaming the Left for stoking division.

I’m flying to America to support Trump in this desperate hour He’s had a narrow miss. It’s a miracle. I implore the Left to think very carefully about how they seek to play politics

People could very much be forgiven for not being surprised at this turn of events.

These responses sum it up.
