Ukip has denied reports that Nigel Farage has flown to the US to coach the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, for his next debate with Hillary Clinton.
...
It had been reported that Farage, who announced he would step down as leader of Ukip less than two weeks after the country voted to leave the European Union, left for the US after the first presidential debate, which it is now widely accepted Clinton won.

A Ukip spokesman denied the reports but did not confirm or deny if Farage would be heading to the US in the future.

Updated after the story was denied. It used to read:

Nigel Farage to coach Donald Trump before next presidential debate

The former leader of Ukip, Nigel Farage, has flown to the US to coach the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, for his next debate with Hillary Clinton.

Farage, who announced he would step down as leader of Ukip less than two weeks after the country voted to leave the European Union, left for the US after the first presidential debate, which it is now widely accepted Clinton won.
...
Bringing in Farage suggests he is keen to sharpen his debating skills. Politics aside, Farage is considered a skilled orator and debater. In the days leading up to the June EU referendum vote, the then prime minister, David Cameron, refused to debate with him, agreeing only to appear on the same programme. And following a one-on-one televised clash with former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg on the issue of Europe, polls suggested viewers were swayed by Farage.

However, Farage is unlikely to steer Trump away from making outlandish and controversial remarks, to which Farage is no stranger. In debates, speeches and radio station appearances, the former Ukip leader has called for immigrants with HIV to be banned from Britain, said he would be concerned if his neighbours were Romanian, suggested breastfeeding mothers should “sit in a corner”, and said women were paid less because they were simply “worth far less”.

Farage is no stranger to making condescending remarks to women in debates, and then losing, eg:

In that election, Nicola Sturgeon led the SNP to victory in 56 out of 59 Scottish seats; Farage's UKIP won just 1 seat i nthe whole of the UK (and that was won by a Tory defector who has deep disagreements with Farage).

1. I don't think Trump really needs any help . . .

Amping up his ignorance and bigotry, which are Farage's speciality.

How much gilt are they planning on putting on the Trumpian turds anyway?

[muriel_volestrangler]

5. What was impressive in the clip is the way he turns the audience against himself

by claiming the BBC has picked a left-biased audience (the moderator points out a polling company selected them carefully to be a cross-section). It'd be cool to see Trump try that ...

[agingdem]

15. Let me get this straight...

Because of that sociopath our very American presidential election process is peppered with a Russian oligarch, the Cuba embargo, a British brexit jerk, and a Venezuelan beauty queen... who says Trump hates "foreigners"?!!!

[Denzil_DC]

28. Confusingly, the article's been updated to begin with a denial from UKIP that Farage is doing this.

[agingdem]

37. so now a denial

How nice but wasn't Farage on stage at one of trumps rallies? Just because trumps goons aren't out front doesn't mean they aren't whispering bile in his tiny little orange ear.

[Thor_MN]

2. Why not bring a cheerleader for disaster in?

Did he also advise Congress in overriding Obama's veto on the 9/11 bill?

[JNelson6563]

3. There's already ideas about coach for 3rd debate too!

[Enrique]

4. here's a preview

[MrModerate]

7. It's true!

A British accent does make you sound smarter (or, in Trump's case, less stupid).

But it only goes so far.

[Grimelle]

21. All he needs

right now are some squared shaped glasses a la Perry.

30. Shit! After watching that I'm now back on the "undecided

column".

[truthisfreedom]

6. Welcome to the final parade of shitheads

It's like driving past a hog farm. A really big one. And forgetting to hit the recirculate button on your ac.

[MrModerate]

9. Um doggy . . .

I used to have to drive past the world's largest hog feedlot, in Colorado. What people don't necessarily know is that pigshit smells almost the same as human shit, only moreso. And when you have thousands and thousands of pigs . . .

The air conditioner can't do anything with that smell. All you can do is turn it on to max as soon as you drive out of the hog zone.

And that's the Trump campaign in a nutshell.

[Hugin]

8. That old adage, "You can't polish a turd." keeps running through my mind.

The Yeller-Bloat won't listen... He'll continue to do what he does and after the flame out work the refs. It's what he does.

[cynzke]

19. HECK, HE COULDN'T POLISH HIMSELF!

Nigel Farage is nothing more than a "turd" himself. Despite the accent and clothes. What does he do, accuses the BBC of "rigging" the audience and INSULTS the audience. Trump doesn't need this jerk to screw up. He can do that himself with flying colors! The women are making mince meat out of this man! LOL!

[Hugin]

23. Time for an updated adage, then... "You can't polish a turd with a polished turd."

Fixed.

Thanks for the background.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. coherence coaching incoherence

this is a mismatch that's not going to end smoothly

[FoxNewsSucks]

11. More job outsourcing by Don the Con

Couldn't Comrade tRump find an AMERICAN to take the job of coaching him?

[EricMaundry]

12. Great. Two Putin puppets sharing some quality time.

[thesquanderer]

13. Great, he's already helped ruin one country (and run from the consequences),

now he can try to do the same in another. At least the guy knows what his skill set is.

[T_i_B]

14. Farage is a total charlatan.....

...the trouble is, nationalist charlatans sell in the current political climate.

[turbinetree]

16. How quait, I want to know if he is using a green card, or some other card

because don't you just love, how someone who goes around bad mouthing foreigners( herr dumpster) has the audacity to inject or bring a known hypocrite from outside from another country to help come over here to spew his right wing agenda, that he fomented and fermented in England, and now he can bring it over here------------amazing, like this country doesn't have enough of a problem with a racists pathological liar, trying to gain access to the government to siphon off the money for his own greed.

While over in England:

While breaking the law during the Cuban embargo two present senators (Cruz, and Rubio) are saying nothing ---------------why?

17. Double down on Despicable

Go ahead Trump, only the best clowns for you.

[Monk06]

18. Here's what a young Irish vlogger has to say about Brexit and Nigel Farage

[Historic NY]

36. Smart, very smart.

[Denzil_DC]

20. As somebody on Twitter pointed out:

Farage was once beaten by guy in a dolphin suit calling himself Flipper.

Which is the plain truth.

[piechartking]

24. Just clicked on the link and it says

That he hasn't flown to the US yet, although they aren't ruling it out.

However, aren't they kind of running out of time? And why would they bring in a Brit?

Party denies that former leader has flown to US to help Republican nominee prepare for second debate with Hillary Clinton

Ukip has denied reports that Nigel Farage has flown to the US to coach the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, for his next debate with Hillary Clinton.

Farage hinted in his farewell speech at Ukip’s conference last month that he might return to Trump’s side following an appearance with the Republican candidate in August, saying: “Who knows, I may even go back to the United States of America at some point.” Ukip sources at the conference also confirmed Farage would travel to the US to help support Trump before the election.

It had been reported that Farage, who announced he would step down as leader of Ukip less than two weeks after the country voted to leave the European Union, left for the US after the first presidential debate, which it is now widely accepted Clinton won.

A Ukip spokesman denied the reports but did not confirm or deny if Farage would be heading to the US in the future.

26. Outsourcing if true to a man who new little about

his own country.

[Aviation Pro]

27. So the fucking assclown

Is bringing in a foreign asswipe to coach him for a debate that decides the U.S. presidency?

America First, fuckstick?

Did I mention go fuck yourself?

Go fuck yourself.

29. No words, just ..

31. He says he's in the UK

Contrary to press reports, I am in the United Kingdom.

[DFW]

32. Trump wouldn't understand a word Farage was saying anyway.

He'd need a translator from English into Trumpese.

[T_i_B]

35. Farage speaks that language

Shout "IMMIGRANTS" at full volume all the sodding time on every sodding TV channel and you've got that language sussed.

[christx30]

33. "Ok Don. First of all, the main thing I want to get across to you

is to not be afraid to use the n-word. It's a great way of getting your point across, and people will respect you for using it."

[Helen Borg]

34. Haha, that is gonna be a winner!

[icnorth]

39. Ah yes, now I remember...

Nigel was conscripted by the cons to cement the re-election of Stephen Harper in our federal election. Nigel was so successful Harper's poll numbers dipped below the freezing mark. Not only that, he was modest; he skipped out of the country under the cover of darkness before the end of the campaign to avoid the accolades for his achievement. He didn't want the world to hear of his success story. I'm sure he could do the same for Trump. ¿

[jmowreader]

40. Farage has standards, as low as they may be

Even he's got better sense than to align himself with the Trump brand.
