Someone commented: “Farage is committing political suicide by aligning with Trump. He needs to distance himself from the โorange aubergineโ if he wants British votes.”
๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ: Thatโs the paradox.
๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ปโ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ต๐ถ๐บ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ โ because his brand is built on the Trump playbook.
Nationalism, scapegoating, culture wars, anti-media attacks, climate denial โ itโs all cut-and-paste from MAGA.
Farage was the first foreign politician to meet Trump after his 2016 win. He backed Trumpโs conspiracy theories. He cheered the overturning of Roe v. Wade. And he recently told The Times he โadmires Trump enormously.โ
Thatโs not coincidence โ itโs strategic alignment.
So, if voters are uneasy about Farageโs proximity to Trump โ they should be. Because itโs not just style they share, but tactics and threats to democracy.
The goal is to undermine facts, sow distrust in institutions, and dismantle democratic guardrails.
Weโve seen the consequences in America:
โช Attacks on truth
โช A stormed Capitol
โช Journalism smeared as โfake newsโ
If we ignore the parallels, we normalise a politics of division and deceit.
Farage doesnโt just want to โshake things upโ โ he wants to smash the system. Thatโs not leadership. Itโs demolition wrapped in a flag.
And if Farage is the British Trump โ we need to treat him as such.
Farage is now copying Trumpโs latest moves more literally than ever.
Heโs called for โa Doge in every countyโ โ echoing Trumpโs new Department of Government Efficiency, created with Elon Musk to slash public spending on climate action, diversity, and oversight.
He has also told council workers involved in diversity and climate policy to โfind another careerโ โ mirroring Trumpโs push to purge these roles in the US government.

It all fits the same pattern: dismantle protections, target minorities, and use migrants as scapegoats.
Both men have made getting rid of migrants and asylum seekers central to their political message โ dehumanising people to stoke fear and division.
Both men rely on fear, not facts – and their fates are being written in parallel.
Trump is already stumbling. His popularity among moderates is slipping. The slogans are stale. The legal troubles are mounting.
Farage has tied his brand to a failing model โ and when Trump falls, Farage falls with him.
The populist playbook doesn’t deliver real solutions โ just outrage, scapegoats, and decline.
Once people see that, the spell breaks.
This isnโt just about one politician or one election. Itโs about protecting the values that keep democracy alive.
Farage may be riding high now โ but illusions fade.
