Nigel Farage tearfully grateful after being named ‘person of interest’ by FBI

Nigel Farage is understood to be tearfully grateful after being named a ‘person of interest’ in an FBI investigation into links between Donald Trump and Russia.

The ex-UKIP leader, now an LBC radio presenter, is understood to be ‘overjoyed and thankful’ that he is still considered of interest to someone, albeit someone undertaking an investigation into possible collusion between the Kremlin and Trump’s presidential campaign.

‘I’m still important!’ he sobbed, delighted at seeing his name in the same sentence as world leaders such as Trump and Vladimir Putin, even if the gist of the sentence was an investigation into massive wrongdoing.

‘At this rate maybe I should stand as UKIP leader again.’
