A former Labour adviser has accused Nigel Farage of "playing games" with his offer to help the new US ambassador Lord Mandelson build bridges with Donald Trump. James Matthewson told GB News that Farage's proposal to act as an intermediary was not genuine.

US commentator Lee Cohen has raised concerns about Peter Mandelson's appointment as UK Ambassador to the United States, describing it as an "extraordinary choice" that has "raised eyebrows and temperatures" across the pond.

A clip of the Reform UK politician shows his opinion of the US president rather than his thoughts on former EDL leader Tommy Robinson.

Nigel Farage has offered to help Lord Mandelson win over Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The Reform UK leader, who is friends with both men, said he would be "happy to act as a bridge". Lord Mandelson has been appointed by Sir Keir Starmer as the UK's ambassador to the US as Mr Trump is set to return to the White House.

The Reform UK leader also reveals he met vice president-elect JD Vance on Monday. The meeting with Musk comes amid reports the tech tycoon is considering donating £78m to Mr Farage's party.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk played a huge role behind the victory of US President- elect Donald Trump in the US Presidential Elections 2024 and is currently serving in the DOGE. Recent reports at the same time have revealed that Elon Musk might end up replicating the very same formula in the UK and is planning to donate $ 100 million to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

Amol sits down with the Tory leader for a wide-ranging interview about her brand of politics, what she would do as prime minister and why Elon Musk is backing Nigel Farage.

The comments, made in 2019, appear to have caused a frostiness in US-UK relations, as Trump's campaign chief Chris LaCivita responded by calling Mandelson a 'moron'.

About 2,000 jobs are likely to be lost through the takeover of Direct Line by Aviva, its larger rival, according to a joint statement by the UK insurers on Monday. The boards of Aviva and Direct Line said they had reached agreement on the terms of a £3.6bn cash and share offer that would create the second-largest motor insurer in the UK.

Elon Musk’s politics has been shifting for a long time. Last week, he endorsed the German far-right AfD party. There’s also speculation that he will donate to Reform UK.
