Description

It is surely an image for the history books. Nigel Farage stood next to two billionaires, one of them Elon Musk, at Donald Trump’s Florida estate. The X owner is reported to be considering donating as much as $100 million to Reform UK.


Is this foreign interference in our politics? And what would a history-making donation to Farage’s party mean for Labour and the Tories?


Plus, political editor Ben Riley-Smith has been speaking to Keir Starmer about Russia and tax - on board a frigate in Estonia, no less.


We also hear from veteran broadcaster Alastair Stewart about living with dementia and his work with Alzheimer’s Research UK.


You can read more about the work done by Alzheimer’s Research UK on The Telegraph website using the link below. Other charities we are supporting include: Humanity and Inclusion, Teenage Cancer Trust and Army Benevolent Fund. To donate to any of them, please visit telegraph.co.uk/2024appeal or call 0151 317 5247.
