Nigel Farage has been touted for his links to Donald Trump, but there's an important role much closer to home if only Keir Starmer would listen.

Nigel Farage has told the Reform UK conference the British government needs to do everything it can to welcome Mr Trump and negotiate a trade deal.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has shared what it was like at Mar-a-Lago during US election night last week. “It was an honour, a genuine honour to be the only British person in the room,” Mr Farage told Sky News host Paul Murray.

Farage, the Brexit-campaigner and self-described troublemaker, is a friend of Trump and was at his election victory party in Florida. He has offered to act as an interlocutor between the British government and the Trump administration, which takes power in January.

Nigel Farage, the Honourable Member for Trumpland (and also Clacton), staged a rare visit to the Commons for Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday to crow about his mate Donald’s re-election as US president.
