Maitlis to Farage: What is Clacton's new MP doing in America?

That’s the question I asked Nigel Farage, who was finishing off a fag outside the Republican Convention hall when we bumped into him just after 8pm this evening. The Trump family had all taken their seats inside the auditorium at this stage to watch JD Vance, the man chosen to be Donald Trump's running mate, make his first speech to the crowd.

Mr Farage told me he’d come to America to ‘be there for Trump’. He nearly died, he explained.

You can watch the full clip below.

Later, I ask him if he agrees with JD Vance’s assessment that ‘Britain is a truly Islamist country’.
