Devoted fans of the demented ginger toddler, Farage and Badenough are leading the rush to distance themselves.

"Just some bloke I used to know. Don't recall if I ever actually met him. Never been a supporter"

No doubt many of the surviving Brexers will hope to get away with the same trick.

but the judge wrote in his order that "whether President Trump was the author of the Letter or Epstein's friend are questions of fact that cannot be determined at this stage of the litigation".
 
No "judge" required.

A year ago many prominent figures on the British right were vocal fans of Donald Trump, praising his plans to cut waste and tackle illegal migration.

Following the Iran war, however, some of the US president’s most ardent cheerleaders in the UK have pivoted away from him.

On Friday Nigel Farage sought to minimise his personal relationship with Trump. “I happen to know him, but that’s by the by,” said the Reform UK leader.

Farage told the FT the bilateral partnership was “our most important relationship in the world . . . whether it’s [Joe] Biden in the White House or Trump.” Last year he said he hoped to become prime minister “quickly while Donald Trump is still in office.”

Lord David Frost, the UK’s former Brexit negotiator, made an even more dramatic shift this week.

The Conservative peer, who once welcomed Trump’s re-election as the “first great victory” of national conservatism, admitted that he had harboured high hopes for the president’s political and economic strategy"

"Others to distance themselves from Trump include the Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who in recent weeks has hit out at Trump’s “childish” repeated criticisms of Sir Keir Starmer.

In February last year she hailed Trump’s return to the Oval Office as “showing that sometimes you need that first stint in government to spot the problems, but it’s the second time around when you really know how to fix them.”

Brexiters’ support for Trump has swayed between an ideological enthusiasm and a more pragmatic argument, that Britain cannot afford to diverge from its most powerful ally.

But it has weakened over the past year, as the US president has imposed tariffs on the UK, equivocated over Ukraine, mocked British forces’ sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan, and threatened to wipe out Iran’s entire civilisation.

Just 18 per cent of Leave voters say that Trump has done a good job in handling the Iran war, according to Ipsos polling."
 
"Johnson, who in 2024 said a second Trump term could be “just what the world needs”, told the Link Media Festival in Trieste, Italy, on Saturday: “We don’t know what the objectives are and what the strategy is.”

And then the article goes on to say...

"...This is the latest blow in the Trump administration's efforts to manage the fallout over its release of the Epstein files and the president's attempts to use the legal system to chill reporting he finds critical of him...."

Poor old lying orange rapist. Unfortunately for the scumbag Trump, his lies don't work in a court of law and are soon exposed and ridiculed. Diddums.

A free public forum boyo. Perhaps you and filly could link up and post some positives about the orange man-baby? Good luck with that. Chief Trump HS'er filly tried it once and it backfired massively.

Go on, fill yer boots.
 
It must be difficult for Far rage and Chemi to constantly alter their narrative to reflect Trumpf’s UK fan club.
