Nigel Farage has paid a visit to Dubai to build diplomatic relations with United Arab Emirates ministers and drum up donations for Reform UK from wealthy expats. Speaking at a GB News event, Farage said he had had a “very good interview” with an unnamed UAE minister on Wednesday. Farage gave a brief speech at the event, held in honour of GB News’ fifth anniversary, at the Aura Skypool, a 50-storey venue that boasts the world’s “highest infinity pool”. Farage, who said he was in Dubai primarily for “sunshine” and to support GB News, gave a short speech in which he praised the news network. And many of you who have come to Dubai will suddenly find London a more attractive place to be.”
