Again, what's the strategy here. Why does Nigel Farage's inner-circle think adjacency to Trump is a good thing for them.

So you were made to look a chump with untrue comments about Nigel giving away the Chagos Islands and then clutch at straws saying Nigel’s inner circle’s adjacency to Trump is a bad look. Do you feel awkward getting it wrong.
Not a trump fan in the slightest. Crazy that badenoch has made them seem like the adults in the room. Quite the Tory achievement 😃

Now the Department of War chiming in — per senior official;
“I can't get into operational details, but I can tell you that for us Diego Garcia is a critical strategic asset.
“Anyone trying to use that as a domestic political football like Ms. Badenoch appears to have done overnight, is not someone who would be taken seriously by any administration, Democrat or Republican, on matters of national security.
“Honestly, if I were her, I'd be ashamed and probably apologise at this point.”
