Ms Clinton’s attack on the former leader of the UK Independence Party (Ukip) comes after he shared a platform with Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for US President, in Jacksonville, Mississippi, on Thursday. “In fact, I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if she paid me”, he said.

“Having criticised and condemned his behaviour, I could not possibly tell you how to vote in this election, but.”, he said as he let his voice trail off and the crowd whoop itself into a frenzy.
Hillary Clinton has suggested Nigel Farage is worse than Donald Trump, condemning her Republican rival for sharing a platform with the ex-Ukip leader.
Ukip leader Nigel Farage joined USA presidential candidate Donald Trump in MS, in front of a crowd of thousands.
Farage, the outgoing leader of the UK Independence Party, was instrumental in the surprise Brexit vote that rocked Europe in June, painting the decision as a chance for fed-up Britons to take back control of their country.
“My advice for you – if you want change in this country, you’d better get your walking boots on, you’d better get out there campaigning”. Donald Trump enjoys support for his message of “re-establishing American independence”, paralleling the UK’s separation from the European Union as the same “victory for the little people” and “rebellion against the establishment” that he could achieve in November’s election.
It might seem odd for Mr. Trump, known for his strong US-centric rhetoric, to have a British politician speak at one of his rallies.
Farage was warmly received by Trump, who had called himself MR. Brexit a few days ago.
The majority of Mr Farage’s speech focused on the success of the campaign for Britain to leave the EU.
He appeared before 15,000 activists in Jackson, Mississippi, last night being introduced by onto the stage with Trump.
Farage didn’t endorse Trump – but he made no secret of his disdain for Clinton.
Farage explained that this was a key part of his message to Trump supporters.
Farage then weighed in on Obama’s trip to Britain in April in which he told voters to support the United Kingdom remaining in the European Union.
Dr Reinhardt said that Mr Farage may also be trying to raise his profile and sustain his persona as a fairly radical anti-establishment figure.

I was astonished that everybody I met wanted to talk about Brexit – not just the delegates to the convention but ordinary people, including a group of US Navy veterans who told me we should have done it years ago.
