Nigel Farage met Elon Musk at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago document storage unit slash vanity art display mausoleum.

The last time Farage posed like this was eight years ago , with his fellow bad boys of Brexit and Trump himself at the same Trump Tower lift.

Now Farage is finally standing next to the organ-grinder in charge of democracy's hand-cranked dance of death, instead of the orange monkey whose jaunty capering distracts the punters while their passports are lifted and burned.

Unlike the clients of Cambridge Analytica , Musk doesn’t even need to hide what he is doing.

I think Musk will use his unlimited wealth and all-pervasive cyber-influence to install Farage at the head of some Tory-Reform hybrid opposition party.

And I think Farage will be our leader by the end of the decade , booze and fags notwithstanding.
