Guess who’s coming to dinner? Nigel Farage joins Donald Trump for a meal after his Brexit speech
Former Ukip leader Nigel Farage has been boasting of his close ties with US President Donald Trump again, posting a picture of the two sharing a meal last night.
Farage was in the States to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference, giving an address on the "global revolution" started by Brexit.
After his speech, Farage sat down with The Donald, also sharing a table with the President's daughter Ivanka and his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

The MEP has been keen to stress his ties with the new US administration since the election result, becoming the first overseas politician to meet with Trump following his shock victory.
That triggered a row over whether Farage should be offered a role in the government's negotiations with Trump, with the US President suggesting Farage could become the UK's ambassador in Washington.
However, Downing Street immediately shut down any suggestion of recruiting the former Ukip leader.
