Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer would "be a fool" to not enlist the help of Nigel Farage in bridging UK-US relations with Donald Trump, ex-Tory MP Ann Widdecombe has claimed. The Reform UK leader flew out to Florida to support his Republican friend as he was re-elected as the 47th President,

Farage, who leads the upstart, right-wing Reform UK, won a seat in the U.K. parliament for the first time at the general election in July, helping to erode the Conservative vote as the party was booted out of office.

As the countdown to the second Trump presidency begins, Britain is in the enviable position of having a politician who can rightly claim to be a personal friend of The Donald.Our European neighbours must have looked on enviously as Mr Trump gave a shout-out to the MP at his eve-of-election rally and invited him to his Mar-a-Lago home to celebrate victory.
