Reform UK leader Nigel Farage suggested he has kicked off talks with Elon Musk for a potential donation to the party, saying the two had discussed money and that there will be “ongoing negotiations” with the tech billionaire.

Mr Farage described his hour-long meeting with Mr Musk at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort on Monday as “great” and “historic”, saying he and party treasurer Nick Candy had “learned a great deal about the Trump ground game”.
