As Sir Keir Starmer’s migration talks with French president Emmanuel Macron drag on, the TV segments on the subject are getting progressively weirder. Take this morning’s GB News piece aboard Nigel Farage’s boat. The Reform UK leader was supposed to be getting quizzed on the noises coming out of the Anglo-French borders deal – which he suggested could look a ‘complete insult’ and a ‘total humiliation’ – but Mr S considered it may have been rather difficult for viewers to follow Farage’s remarks given he spent a portion of the interview, er, catching fish and chucking them back in the sea again.
While the presenter attempts to question Farage on Starmer’s ‘one in, one out’ migrant deal, the Reform leader busies himself with catching mackerel. ‘You can see Nigel’s rod bending there!’ exclaims the host in a bizarre commentary on the Reform’s leader’s fishing ability, before Farage wrestles it out of the sea. He then spends the next few minutes of the interview untangling the creatures before, um, throwing them back again and eventually facing the camera for the rest of his interview.
‘I think the real annoyance of what I was trying to say in the House of Commons yesterday, but of course was shouted down,’ Farage said, ‘is that we voted Brexit to get back control of our borders, not to have terms dictated to us by an increasingly arrogant French president.’ And we turn on the news to watch proper interviews, not an early morning angling session, eh Nige?
