Apparently Farage is under the weather and couldn’t make LK .

Yes right ! Obviously he didn’t want answer uncomfortable questions about his relationship with Trump .

It is his usual 'duck and cover' approach when Trump is being particularly egregious. Not that Trump is massively popular with Reform voters, but he is more popular than with other voters, and going silent (or sticking to careful written statements) about being pro-Trump in such moments usually allows things to blow over.

He won't be able to get away with ducking things like that on this or other issues forever, when he is in with a shot of being PM.

If he's lucky though it won't hurt him until after he's already in office. It took a long time for Corbyn's unchanging views on foreign affairs to have any impact at all.
