'I've been talking to one of the directors, and they'd very much like to see me there for a home game,' Farage told ITV News. 'If I can make it, I will.'

Nigel Farage is set to meet Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago mansion on Friday to discuss Sir Keir Starmer's Chagos Islands deal, as the war in the Middle East escalates. Mr Trump has dramatically U-turned on his support for Sir Keir's controversial agreement in recent weeks, at one point describing it as an act of great stupidity.

"You can't go on the sick because you've got mild anxiety. But it is an attitudinal change that Britain needs. "An attitudinal change to hard work, rather than work-life balance. "An attitudinal change to the idea of working from home. "People aren't more productive working at home - it's a load of nonsense. "They're more productive being with other fellow human beings and working as part of a team."

For the first time since the row broke following a Guardian investigation, the Reform UK party leader appeared to indicate some remorse for the impact of his alleged behaviour while at Dulwich college, a private school in south London. I think there are two people who said they were hurt, and if they genuinely were, then that's a pity, and I'm sorry, Farage said in an interview with the BBC. But never, ever did I intend to hurt anybody. Never have.

It comes after a Guardian investigation found more than 30 people who went to Dulwich College with the Reform UK leader have accused him of racist and antisemitic bullying. Farage has denied directly targeting anyone with racist or antisemitic abuse or having the intent to hurt anyone. Earlier this month, he dismissed the allegations as complete made-up fantasies based on political motivation.

Elliptic, a crypto analytics company, said it had traced at least $507m (377m) of cryptocurrency issued by Tether a company touted by the Reform UK leader passing through accounts that appear to be controlled by Iran's central bank. Elliptic's report tracked what it says is the Iranian central bank's systematic accumulation of Tether stablecoins, a type of crypto that is pegged to the dollar so it can easily be exchanged for hard currency.

I'm all for Trump taking out enemies of the West. Maduro, the Iranian regime. But if he falls out with his own allies and leaves America isolated, that, that would be a very bad place to be.
