Defence secretary John Healey dismissed a suggestion that Nigel Farage could assist the government in its relationship with Donald Trump.
The Reform UK leader has offered to be “useful as an interlocutor” between the Labour and the president-elect as they have “a great relationship” and knows people he believes will be in Mr Trump’s administration for “quite a long time”.
When asked if Mr Farage would be the “bridge that unifies the two countries,” Mr Healey replied: “The important relationship which has already been started and established is between [Sir] Keir Starmer and President-elect Trump.”
