Diplomatic Bag

The earlier attention on potential ambassadorial roles for Nigel Farage had focused on Donald Trump's scattered suggestion that he would be a good UK Ambassador the US.

The strange amount of time that Farage apparently spent in communication with the US Ambassador to the EU, Anthony Gardner, raises the possibility that he wants that job -- which Trump could actually appoint him to (they'd find a way to sort out the citizenship issue).

For all his mockery of ambassador functions (left), his name keeps coming up in that context.
