US donald trump Emily maitlis nigel farage
Emily Maitlis wondered why new Clacton MP Nigel Farage was in the US and it’s the best 2 minutes you’ll spend today
To the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where among the Brits in attendance – along with Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Russell Brand and the like (what a hat-trick they are) was newly-elected (finally) Clacton MP, Nigel Farage.
Lots of people have suggested that the needs of the good people of Clacton might not be at the top of the Reform UK leader’s priorities, so the estimably Emily Waitlis thought she’d check in and find out exactly why he’d flown to the US so soon after the election.
And it’s two minutes very – very – well spent.

Brilliantly done by Maitlis, and not the first time she’s gone viral today.

No one has ever sounded less like they have friends than this man saying he has friends https://t.co/8sXLWcihnf

Farage is an opportunist grifter, never been interested in being a constituency MP as those in Clacton daft enough to vote for him will soon find out – just any opportunity to hog the limelight.

This is desperate and sad. It’s clear no-one has asked him to be there.
A fish seeking relevance and meaning in a desert. https://t.co/hJgGa7UNWw

The mask slips for a moment here for @Nigel_Farage and @maitlis “have you got friends”? For all the glib suntanned charmed, the Dulwich School Flashman bully is never far away https://t.co/7CNo4Oa0Py

To conclude …
I know we have a sane new government, and thank god for it, but I am so relieved to see that some political clowns still exist, enabling the survival of the car crash interview.
In this one, Farage pretends he was asked to go to the US by, well, nobody.pic.twitter.com/HmJwjgJQcD
