On Saturday, former Ukip leader Nigel Farage delivered a scathing speech at the Conservative conference in the US.
The highlight was Farage’s unsubtle slight towards Britain’s nearest neighbours on the continent, saying that the UK’s “real friends” speak English.
Following the speech, Farage joined Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka for dinner at the International Hotel.
He was so proud of his crew, he tweeted a photo:

And… Well, it looks distinctly awkward:
Two things: 1. Farage was not invited to this dinner. Squeezed in at last second 2. Sec. State Tillerson is dining w/wife alone across room— Benny (@Benny) 1488076676
Really, really awkward:

@bennyjohnson Farage's got a habit of turning up to places where he's no longer wanted.First @ Euro Parliament now gate crashes Trump dinner— Annabel R Nielsen (@Annabel R Nielsen) 1488094516
And the dinner conversation?

Few people looked upon the dinner favourably.
@bennyjohnson @maggieNYT For a "british nationalist and patriot", Farage is awfully eager to brown nose Trump.— Ganesh Ranganathan (@Ganesh Ranganathan) 1488077576
