I have known several of the Trump team for years and I am in a good position with the President-elect’s support to help. The world has changed and its time that Downing Street did too.

FARAGE FOR BREITBART: Trump Stole the March on Brexit and Now Hillary’s Floundering
I can now see where Hillary gets it from. Her assault on me and the politics of Brexit after my appearance alongside Donald Trump in Jackson, Mississippi shows that the Democratic establishment just can’t face the facts. After President Obama’s condescending approach to the UK electorate during our referendum, in which he told us that Brexit Britain “would be at the back of the queue” for any trade deal, he now appears to be in denial. At the G20 summit in China, President Obama now tells us that we got it wrong and that we are behind the rest of the European Union in terms of trade priorities. What a way to treat your oldest and closest ally. I suspect the British public will now view him as an object of contempt. Given that Trump was clear about Brexit both during and after the campaign, I can now see this issue being a real political football between now and polling day on November 8th. Either you support the existing global elite or you want real change and believe in nation state democracy. Perhaps Obama and Clinton have done us all a favour. MRS MAY BLINKS Although I never wanted Theresa
Farage: Maybe If I Donate To The Clinton Foundation Hillary Won’t Attack Me
From the Daily Mail: Since I announced that I was going to stand aside as Ukip leader in the wake of the successful Brexit campaign, I’ve had more time to do other things. This included a trip to Cleveland for the Republican Convention and the adoption of Donald J. Trump as their Presidential candidate. I was astonished that everybody I met wanted to talk about Brexit – not just the delegates to the convention but ordinary people, including a group of US Navy veterans who told me we should have done it years ago. There was a chance meeting, in a bar of course, with the delegation from Mississippi. hey were wildly enthusiastic Brexiteers and told me that their State Governor Phil Bryant was delighted with the result and would love me to visit. So in what I thought would be the quiet days of August, I was happy to accept their invitation. The plan was simple: I would speak at a dinner hosted by the Governor to speak about the Brexit campaign and to draw parallels with voters in America, who are looking for many of the same things. It was not until I arrived and was having dinner
Farage: Theresa May’s So Cold She Might Be Alabaster
From the Mail on Sunday: On the morning of the historic victory for the ‘Leave’ campaign I called on the Prime Minister to resign. Within a hour or two David Cameron had done so. I was more than a little surprised – after all, he has rarely listened to me in the past. Now we learn that no plans had been made to deal with the result, that surprise has gone. He had called a referendum, due in part to the pressure from Ukip. With his customary mix of arrogance and complacency, he had failed to plan for a result he believed could never happen. Indeed, this catastrophic dereliction of duty on behalf of Mr Cameron and the Treasury has resulted in the very short-term instability that they had predicted. These failures should result in the Chancellor being fired, let alone resigning. Public opprobrium is not enough. It is not, as some claim, those on the Leave side who have deserted their posts, it is the Government that has failed the people and in the most disgraceful way. But that desertion of posts has thrown up a huge opportunity for a new leader of the country. And a new
FARAGE: Top ‘Leave’ Tories Now Back UKIP Immigration Policies… This Means We Can Win
After years of being condemned for even daring to suggest that mass immigration was having a negative impact on British society I feel rather less lonely this morning. Today’s front pages mark a genuine sea change in British politics. The two men most likely to succeed David Cameron as Prime Minister have both now publicly committed to an Australian-style points system for immigration. There can be no going back from these positions. Even more amazingly Boris Johnson has suggested that migrants should speak English. How I remember four years ago saying at a press conference that I felt uncomfortable travelling on train out of central London surrounded by a crowd of whom no one spoke our language as a first choice. The howls of condemnation came thick and fast. The over-paid comedy stars of radio 4 parodied me for weeks. It was as if I had said something truly dreadful. Now some of the biggest political figures in the country agree. All of which puts the Labour Party in an even more curious position. Both Mr. Corbyn and Mr. McDonnell believe in total open borders. I genuinely believe they would like to extend this beyond the EU. As John McDonnell
FARAGE — The Immigration Figures Scandal Shows How Powerless We Are Inside The EU
Just when you thought the government’s record on open door mass migration couldn’t get any more appalling, we’ve seen the bombshell news this week that the situation is even worse than we thought. According to the official figures, migration into Britain was already at record high net levels, running at a third of a million every year. The government’s figures have looked a complete red herring to me for a long time however. The figures are nothing better than a rough estimate using outdated models. And so we found out that in fact after looking at and factoring in the number of National Insurance numbers handed out, EU migration was 1.5 million higher then official figures suggested – and that’s just over the last five years. The new, more accurate figures tell us that the number of EU migrants who came to Britain between 2011 and 2015 was 2.4 million. It is an astronomical number which exposes just totally, utterly out of control the situation now is for Britain inside the European Union. How can any government arrange sensible healthcare provision for citizens when the migratory flow is so large, with absolutely no power or control over the quantity coming

FARAGE FOR BREITBART: Hard-left, Jew-Hating, Anti-Israel Extremists Now Run The Labour Party
The nasty anti-Semitism now being exposed in the Labour Party has existed for a long time, but is only now really being exposed. As the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), I have for years faced smears and accusations levelled at my party because of the odd comment from very junior local officials. Whenever people have said nasty things in UKIP, we have got rid of them. The Labour Party’s problem is far worse however. Their extremists are not local branch members or parish Councillors. Instead anti-Semitic comments are being made by figures such as the former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone and the former Mayor of Blackburn Salim Mulla. Already we hear of elected Labour Councillors being suspended daily, with some estimates that already fifty members have had to be suspended. I suspect this problem for Labour is just beginning, For too long the utter hatred entrenched in the hearts of the far-left has been given a free pass. Whilst rightly, the Nazi-loving far-right have been condemned and deemed beyond the pale, those on the fringes who write about Jewish conspiracies and of destroying Israel have been let off the hook. Many of these sorts of far-left extremists
FARAGE – Let’s Get Real: Would Obama Unconditionally Open Borders To Mexico As We’ve Done With The EU? No Chance!
I have said from the very beginning that this European Union (EU) referendum matters more to me than anything else. The issue of who governs our country matters far more than party politics. Now that the official campaign has kicked off, it is important that all of us on the Leave side work together. I’ve already travelled the length and breadth of the UK sharing platforms with Conservative MPs such as Peter Bone, Liam Fox and David Davis. Just this week I shared a platform with Cabinet Minister Chris Grayling. Equally important however is the fact that I’ve also shared a platform with the likes of Labour’s Kate Hoey, George Galloway, and various figures from the trade union movement. On most issues we strongly disagree – but on this one issue, the most important issue of all, we stand together. The Leave side can only win if we have an effective ground campaign comprising of activists from across the political spectrum working together. I am delighted for instance that Kate Hoey was on this week’s Question Time and I’m also glad to be appearing on BBC Any Questions this week with Mick Cash, the General Secretary of the anti-EU RMT
FARAGE FOR BREITBART – The Unseen Referendum: Tomorrow’s Netherlands’ Litmus Test On The European Union
Despite my best efforts in the European Parliament to embarrass the Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, by pointing out to him that during the revolving six month Dutch presidency of the European Council there is a European Union (EU) referendum in his home country, no one seems to have noticed. This is not unusual as the UK political press are more interested in Boris’s hairstyle than they are in the events on the continent. However there is a referendum in the Netherlands tomorrow, 6th April, on the EU-Ukrainian agreement. In July of last year a new piece of legislation came into force in the Netherlands called the Advisory Referendum Act (ARA). In a country with no history of direct democracy the government probably felt confident that nobody would get over a third of a million verified, signed pieces of paper to trigger a national vote. However, a group of young bloggers at an organisation called GeenPeil took up the challenge and set about gaining signatures. My experience of political bloggers all over the world is that whilst many of them may be very clever, few have the practical skills to even boil an egg let alone embark on a logistical
