After being President Donald Trump’s “bestie” for ages, British leaders are trying to leap out the window at his approach, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde.

Parliament member Nigel Farage’s, is trying to “consciously uncouple from Donald Trump,” despite being “most firmly lodged” up his backside for “the past decade,” said Hyde.

“Nigel’s made such a massive, self-satisfied show of his real estate in the presidential large intestine for 10 years now that I actually don’t think non-surgical extraction is possible at this stage. He doesn’t just get to walk away whistling. The only way out is a full Faragectomy. I’ll give the president a piece of drone fuselage to bite down on,” Hyde said.

Hyde said Farage is not the only British leader trying to duck the U.S. president “as Operation Epic Facepalm rapidly unspools.”

“A whole posse of Britain’s political and pundit class greeted Keir Starmer’s failure to jump two-footed into Israel and the US’s Iran operation as a truly calamitous error,” said Hyde. “Yet these days, you can’t move for the spectacle of the initial cheerleaders reverse-ferreting. ‘I don’t like to see our prime minister be berated by foreign leaders,’ was Wednesday’s emanation from Reform UK’s Robert Jenrick, who, little more than two weeks ago, absolutely loved to see it. Starmer, Jenrick explained back in the first week of March 2026, was handling the Iran crisis ‘just about as badly as you could possibly go about it.’”

No one in British politics has sucked up as long or as hard to Trump as Farage, said Hyde, claiming “he was still at it two weeks ago. At the end of the first week of the war, Farage announced he was flying out to dinner at Mar-a-Lago and would be making various foreign policy points to Trump,

Now, suddenly “the relationship between the two populist politicians has cooled since 2024”

“I always fly to Florida on the off-chance of having dinner with someone with whom my relationship has cooled,” said Hyde, adding that Farage “very, very belatedly, appear[s] to have grasped what the polls have long indicated – that most British people really don’t like Donald Trump. And that was before he screwed their energy, food and mortgage bills and threatened to start the third world war.”

“Yet we are now being asked to forget that Farage really, really did like Donald Trump. Hero-worshipped him, in fact. What a hostage he made himself to a very predictable fortune,” said Hyde.

First U.S. XRP ETF Launches Sept. 18, CME to List Options on XRP Futures Oct. 13

First U.S. XRP ETF Launches Sept. 18, CME to List Options on XRP Futures Oct. 13

XRP is drawing fresh attention from traditional finance as new products roll out in both securities and derivatives markets, broadening access points for exposure to the token.At the time of writing, according to CoinDesk Data, XRP was trading around $3.0263, down nearly 1% over the past 24 hours.On Sept. 18, REX Shares and Osprey Funds will debut the first U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE) on the Cboe BZX Exchange, under the tickers XRPR and DOJE. These products are not entirely “pure” spot funds, however. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart wrote on X that the funds aren’t “pure” spot products. Instead, they are structured to hold XRP and DOGE directly, while also investing in other spot ETFs from outside the U.S. to achieve exposure. Their filings also include language that would allow the use of derivatives for exposure if needed, though Seyffart emphasized that this is not the primary approach.The structure reflects the realities of building regulated crypto ETFs in the U.S., where sponsors have sometimes layered in indirect exposure. Even so, the launches mark the first time American brokerage accounts will have access to XRP- and DOGE-focused ETFs, expanding beyond bitcoin and ether, which dominate the ETF landscape.Less than a month later, CME Group plans to deepen its crypto derivatives lineup by listing options on XRP and Solana (SOL) futures, targeted for Oct. 13 pending regulatory review. Options will be listed on both the standard contracts and their smaller “micro” versions, designed to serve institutions, trading desks, and active individuals alike. Expiry choices will include every business day, each month, and each quarter, creating a wider term structure for managing exposures.The exchange said the decision follows strong growth in its newer altcoin futures. Since March, SOL futures have logged over 540,000 contracts traded (about $22.3 billion notional), while XRP futures, introduced in May, have seen more than 370,000 contracts change hands (roughly $16.2 billion notional). Market participants including Cumberland and FalconX welcomed the additions, citing the need for hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether.Headquartered in Chicago, CME Group runs the world’s largest regulated derivatives marketplace, where listed crypto futures and options allow participants to hedge positions with central clearing and margining. Adding XRP and SOL options builds on the firm’s progression from bitcoin and ether into a wider set of liquid tokens.
