      President Donald Trump is losing support from the British mainstream Right and the party of his closest friend in the United Kingdom over the Iran conflict.

      Reform U.K. leader Nigel Farage broached the topic during a press conference on Thursday, lamenting that the United Kingdom has been “all over the place” regarding its position on Operation Epic Fury and criticizing Prime Minister Keir Starmer for unnecessarily aggravating allies.

      “It seems that the Prime Minister has upset the Americans. He’s upset the Cypriots. He’s upset much of the Middle East,” Farage said, but extended a quasi-olive branch to 10 Downing Street when he acknowledged Starmer “may be right not to commit us militarily to direct involvement.”

      Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch, who does not have the same long-standing friendship with Trump as Farage, acknowledged on Thursday that the Iranian government is a “terrorist regime sponsoring the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah” that ultimately “threatens the U.K.”

      But “Trump started this war in Iran,” Badenoch warned, explaining that “you’ve got to have a plan.”

      She continued: “And if he’s made a mess in the Strait of Hormuz, he’s the one who needs to fix it.”

      More broadly the trade war and Iran war have cost Trump the support of most conservatives outside of the United States. Eventually, some of the MAGA will also be disenchanted.

      Farage is already losing the UK Right himself, which is now increasingly rallying behing Rupert Lowe instead.
