However, under Britain’s electoral system, it took just four seats while Starmer’s Labour Party swept into office with a landslide.
“Congratulations to Nigel Farage on his big WIN of a Parliament Seat Amid Reform UK Election Success. Nigel is a man who truly loves his Country!” Trump wrote on Truth Social platform.
Farage is a long-standing ally of Trump, and a champion of Brexit elected to parliament on his eighth attempt.
He made no secret of his desire to take over from the now-main opposition Conservative Party, which was trounced at the polls by Labour.
