it is really embarrassing for nigel farage, to say the very least.boasting that elon musk was not the support of reform had made it a cool party with many young people, he described elon musk as a hero. within hours of that, elon musk orsay within hours of that, elon musk or say that nigel farage should not be the leader of reform and started talking about a man called rupert lowe, the mp for great yarmouth, also elected in the july great yarmouth, also elected in thejuly general election, started talking about whether he should be the leader instead. it is deeply destabilising, embarrassing for nigel farage. the reason for it is very important. there is a substantive disagreement there, which is that elon musk believes that tommy robinson, who is currently in prison in this country for contempt of court, should play a role this country for contempt of court, sh

nigel farage is the trump whisperer. he's here, he's there, he's everywhere.o become a valid threat to the labour party in the next election, he's going to have to do a lot more than five seats. he's more of a threat, i think, to the fabric of the tory party chipping away at possible seats they can win back off. >> liberals and patrick come in here. >> i mean is that i disagree with that. i think actually a lot's happened since the election and i think first past the post you can correctly depict as a suppressor of insurgent parties. but if you reach a certain level in the polls, reform is now averaging. i looked at poll trackers at 24 on some of them, and no other party is over 30%. you know, suddenly it can start paying out a lot of seats. if reform can add another five points, it can suddenly win literally hundreds of seats. i think i might on less than tessa jowell. >> i think i'm right in saying the magic number for reform here is about 32%. now they're polling 25. if they get to 32% finishing ahead of the conservatives, you could see what we saw in the e

nigel farage has been keen to publicise the support that he has had from the world's richest man.t month. there had been talk that elon musk was considering donating money to reform uk. in a broadcast this morning, mr farage said these backing had bought other benefits. he may well give us money, whether he does or not i will tell you what he gives us. with huge numbers of young people, he makes us look cool. is the reason you hope he is going to give you money, is that way don't want to criticise him? i made it perfectly clear that i don't agree with everything he stands for, but i do believe in free speech. i believe he is a hero and i said that well before any money was offered. but this afternoon, the tech billionaire appears to have turned on mr farage, he posted on x that "the reform party needs a new leader, farage doesn't have what it takes." the rift seems to have come over mr musk�*s support for far right activist stephen yaxley—lennon, also known as tommy robinson. responding to the post this afternoon, mr farage said... mr musk has posted a series of inflammatory messa

farage, as in nigel farage, doesn't have what it takes for nigel farage has been trying to get musk's financial backing, but it looks like that may have failed. one reason for that jailed british far right activist tommy robinson. musk wants him released. farage has been distancing himself from robinson. musk is also targeting the british prime minister, keir starmer, posting this. starmer was complicit in the rape of britain when he was head of crown prosecution for six years. starmer must go. he must face charges for his complicity in the worst mass crime in the history of britain. musk claims starmer failed to act against grooming gangs while he was director of public prosecutions. starmer supporters say that's not true. meantime, the prime minister is working to get on donald trump's good side and hold back the growing influence of farage's reform uk party. cnn european affairs commentator dominic thomas joins us now from los angeles live this hour. it's been a while. it's good to see you. >> right. thanks for having me on, john. good to see you back. >> thanks, mate. well, musk h

the leader of british political party reform uk, nigel farage, has defended elon musk in an interviewe — the owner of social media site x and electric car—maker tesla, and soon to be part of the us government. but elon musk has also been weighing in on uk politics. he has backed nigel farage, snapped here together at donald trump's mar—a—lago resort last month, with reports he is considering donating a sizeable sum to reform uk. but he has also been highly critical of keir starmer�*s government in increasingly provocative social media posts. speaking to the bbc�*s laura kuenssberg, mr farage defended mr musk�*s right to say what he chooses. you know, in public life, tough things get said. they get said by both sides of the debate. you're right, this man happens to be the richest man in the world. but equally — equally — the fact that he's bought twitter now actually gives us a place where we have a proper, open debate about many things. and hey — even facebook, even meta, are adjusting to the modern world. free speech is back. we may find it offensive, but it's a good thing, not a bad

he's made a mistake in ditching nigel farage for tommy robinson. nigel farage is a polarizing, popular and unpopular politician that a quarter of people might vote for and that they could say musk's millions might make nigel farage prime minister. and he's always stayed away from tommy robinson because nigel farage thinks when you're with tommy robinson, whose reputation is extremism, racism, football, hooliganism, then you're a 5% politician. so musk has actually taken himself out of mainstream politics by attacking farage for not backing robinson. so it shows that this attempt to be the sort of citizen kane of the world isn't going to work if you're not credible in the countries you're trying to influence. we could treat him like a pantomime bond villain, except it will stoke up violence at the extreme end of the sort we saw in britain. so it's not that he's going to change our government, but he can make our society more dangerous. >> in a moment from biden's border legacy to extreme weather events to terror attacks, reflections and warnings fro

that's going to be a political problem for reform and for nigel farage. really interesting point. and, you know, even among maga, the maga world here, we are seeing some some cracks there in elon musk�*s influence. and, you know, laura loomer, a far—right figure here who has obviously in the past been very controversial, she criticised elon musk when he and vivek ramaswamy, remember, the two of them are heading up the new department of government efficiency, talked about the need for h—ib visas here in the us. so bringing in kind of the top—talent engineers and that clashes with some of the america first anti—immigration rhetoric that we're seeing from the maga world. so, you know, his position is going to be fascinating to watch. but it brings me, i think, to the point that i've been looking at this week, which is the new congress coming in the 119th congress. of course, you know, it's going to be very interesting to watch. and i've been thinking about what a challenge it will be about, will be, not only for, you know, the gop, also for the democrats. yo

nigel farage is waiting in the wings, happy to offer his own inquiry.ppened in towns like oldham has been raked over for years. police and prosecutors say they've changed the way they tackle sexual abuse gangs. but the conservatives want something else — to hold to account people in power who may have prevented young girls getting justice or protected abusers because of their race. tom symonds, bbc news, westminster. must return to the story that has dominated the day, they wildfires in california. that is the scene with those huge plumes of black smoke just drifting across the picture and, of course, so many of those fires still out of control. the evacuation orders, the numbers have been expanded that the authorities telling as two civilians had been killed so far. the numbers of firefighters, the ever increasing on the ground but really struggling to actually bring these fires under control. stretched to the limit, was the phrase used at that news conference. we are going to stay with this furphy was in the uk. let's return to that a news conference

why musk is so agitated about keir starmer and how nigel farage fits into it? >> well, we have to try and figure a lot of it out. i mean, there's certainly a lot that elon musk has done to unsettle european governments. i mean, others are italy and germany. he's getting very involved in their internal affairs and even accusations that he's interfering in elections. for example, here in the uk. his issue? he's had a long standing issue with keir starmer, who he says didn't act on child exploitation back in the days when he was head of public prosecutions. and he wants starmer to go. starmer, you know, has to tread carefully here because obviously elon musk has emerged as a gatekeeper to donald trump, who is crucial to starmer's successful success, really, in terms of any sort of foreign policy. so he's trying to juggle that. i think this farage spat is particularly interesting because, you know, the beef here is over. tommy robinson, who is a far right activist currently in a british prison. um, and musk wants him released. farage is not a fan of, um, of this fa

and nigel farage's reform party in the uk. similarly, he believes, will be the savior of britain. the context is the conservatives were defeated last summer by the by keir starmer's labor party, and the conservatives are competing with reform for the far right vote. they're moving to the right and nigel farage's reform is moving to the left to make it a bit more electable. and they're roughly neck and neck in the polls. so there is this sort of battle as to who can be more right wing and who can claim the mantle of sort of being a trumpian british conservative party. and musk's interventions in favor of reform, um, should be seen in that context. the reality is that musk is not popular in britain. the approval ratings, i think a few years ago for him, when he was seen principally as a space guy and an ev guy, were very high. they're now fewer than 1 in 5 british people approve of musk. so i think there are there are diminishing returns to this kind of really unprecedented intervention in another democracy. >> at loose. always a pleasure to have you on. thank you. >> thank you. >>

nigel said i don't want to give my party to a guy in jail.britain? i think it gets to his political transformation during the 2024 campaign. most of these guys tend to be libertarian and frankly, musk himself was a little left leaning to begin with. he's had some sort of lobotomy the last 12 to 18 months where he sees himself as a leader of a pan transatlantic christian nationalist movement. >> help me understand what he sees. these men have an unlimited amount of money. what they don't have is an unlimited amount of power and with donald trump in office, they don't have to run for office. they can have a bat phone. elon musk can be a shadow president and get whatever the hell he wants. he will have unlimited money and power. that is what he's getting, my friend. >> if he sees it in silicon valley, political power is better than financial power. >> correct until congress is in session and they realize they can talk, talk, talk, but when those doors close, only those elected leaders get to make decisions. last question to you, max, sort of abo
