Former US President, Donald Trump, has extended his congratulations to Nigel Farage on his election to the UK parliament, notably omitting any acknowledgement of the new Prime Minister, Keir Starmer.
Farage’s Reform UK party secured a significant vote share, but the UK’s electoral system limited their seats to five. Despite this, Trump praised Farage, a long-time ally, as a “patriot who truly loves his country” on his Truth Social platform.
Farage’s win marks a significant shift in voter support, with many moving away from the Conservative party. This outcome may bolster Farage’s populist agenda and ambitions to lead the Conservative party.
In contrast, Keir Starmer’s Labour party swept into power with a landslide victory, a feat that went unacknowledged by Trump. The election results reflect a significant change in the UK’s political landscape, with Farage’s win potentially impacting the country’s future.
