Vance BBQ with UK Right wing

JD Vance is said to have met Nigel Farage for breakfast on Wednesday morning, after hosting a barbecue the night before at the Grade II-listed manor house where he is staying in the tiny hamlet of Dean, near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.

The US vice president has taken a growing interest in Reform UK in recent months, with reports from July saying he had asked the UK’s ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson: “So what’s going on with Reform? I see that they’re doing very well.”

Mr Farage has always had a strong relationship with President Donald Trump – although it appears to have cooled this year, initially sparking speculation he may not end up meeting with Mr Vance.
