SNL UK's latest cold open is a literal window into the future, bringing us to a 2046 where Reform leader Nigel Farage is UK prime minister and Donald Trump is apparently "king".

In the clip above Farage (a guest appearance from actor Peter Serafinowicz) downs a pint in Number 10 before his deputy and former Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch (played by Ayoade Bamgboye) brings him his morning briefing.

"One last thing: King Trump assures us he's almost negotiated a ceasefire over the Strait of Hormuz!" Badenoch says.

"Phew," says Farage. "For a minute there it felt like we were on the brink of World War IV."
