Watch: Trump urges Farage to work with Boris

Could Donald Trump help Boris Johnson stave off the threat of the Brexit party and enable the Tories to win the snap election? He certainly seems to be doing his best to help out the PM.
Nigel Farage has interviewed Donald Trump for his radio phone-in show on LBC tonight and the president urged the Brexit party leader to work with Boris Johnson. Trump said Boris is a  ‘fantastic man’ and is the ‘exact right guy for the times’. He then added:

‘I know that you and him will end up doing something that could be terrific. If you and he get together it’s an unstoppable force.’

Farage didn’t give much away but Mr S wonders whether his smirk is a sign that the Brexit party leader is preparing to jump on the Boris bandwagon. Watch this space…
