Read our privacy policy Nigel Farage has said he would be willing to help incoming ambassador to the US Lord Mandelson negotiate with the Trump administration. Downing Street would not be drawn on whether Sir Keir Starmer would like Lord Mandelson to work with Mr Farage, saying when asked only that the Prime Minister had “already started to begin to build a relationship with President-elect Trump”. I am no fan of any of the people in the Labour Party, but if it is in the national interest I have always thought I could be a useful asset if they want to use that – but if they don’t, more fool them Nigel Farage Mr Farage has previously offered to use his relationship with Mr Trump and his team to act as a bridge between them and the UK Government. He said: “I know these people, and in terms of trade, in terms of defence and in terms of intelligence, the US is our most important relationship in the world – forget Brussels.” Nigel Farage and Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy with Elon Musk at Mar-A-Lago, the Florida home of US President-elect Donald Trump He said free trade deal talks were likely to be done sector by sector.
