Your support makes all the difference.As Greece closes in on agreeing a deal that will keep the debt-ridden country in the eurozone, there is one man in the UK who is gutted: Nigel Farage.
The Ukip leader took to Twitter to vent his frustration at the decision by the ruling Syriza party in Athens to submit a detailed set of proposals for reform in exchange for a third bailout – proposals that appeared strikingly similar to the ones that were rejected by the Greek people in a nationwide referendum last Sunday.
Accusing the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of having “caved in to the EU,” Mr Farage said he would be “very angry” if he had been among the 61 per cent of people who had voted against the reforms less than a week ago.
