"Trump was far from pleased when Farage criticised his decision to send missiles into Syria"

But Ivanka Trump’s emotional reaction to distressing images of gassed children persuaded her father to override the objections.

A Farage friend said: ‘The wind has changed very quickly for Nigel. Bannon’s loss of influence to Ivanka and the internationalists mean his influence has waned quickly. He won’t get Fox News ringing him up to appear if they don’t think he has a line into the Oval Office’.

And a source with strong ties to the White House National Security Council said: ‘Without Bannon, Farage is a nobody and would have no access to Trump. Bannon’s influence is fading fast.

‘Trump was far from pleased when Farage criticised his decision to send missiles into Syria. Farage was never more than a fringe figure here. I haven’t heard his name mentioned recently. There is no indication he has meaningful influence’.
