Welcome to F.T. Politics, a weekly podcast on British politics from the Financial Times.

I'm Sebastian Payne, digital comment editor, and in this episode we'll be discussing Nigel Farz's new friendship with Donald Trump

and the influence of Joseph Chamberlain on today's politics.

To do this I'm delighted to be joined by Gideon Rachman, our chief foreign affairs commentator,

Hubbardrimsy who's managing edge of FT.com,

Jowars works for the FT's Lex column and down the line from Brussels, our leader writer

Alan Beatty. Thank you all for joining. We'll begin with Nigel Farage, who has been

visiting America again this week. Quite bizarrely, the outgoing leader of UKIP, appeared on stage with the

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump

to discuss the lessons of Brexit.

It's hard to know whether the people in Mississippi knew who Mr. Faraz was

or what Brexit is, but they seemed to receive quite well what he had to say.

So Gideon Rachman, why was Nigel Frost there in the first place and what he got to do with

the American presidential election?

One of the stranger things, certainly if you're British, is the way in which the Brexit referendum

has resonated in America.

I mean, normally you go over to America and sometimes I've had people not even know who

the Prime Minister was or think it's still John Major when it was Tony Blair

or whatever but Brexit people really noticed because it seemed to chime with this idea of an

anti-establishment rebellion and Farage has now become if like, the standard bearer of that.

Trump has caught on to this and said, even more strangely, people will soon be calling me Mr Brexit,

as if he was somehow responsible for this.
