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.

Donald Trump's victory means Nigel Farage "has a shot" of being Prime Minister at the next general election, Theo Usherwood has claimed. The comments came as Donald Trump was victorious in securing his position of President-elect in the US election.

Nigel Farage has said he could be “useful as an interlocutor” between the Labour Government and Donald Trump. The Reform UK leader said he has “a great relationship” with the US president-elect and knows people he believes will be in Mr Trump’s administration for “quite a long time”.

The Reform UK leader – a close ally of Mr Trump and the only UK politician who was at his Palm Beach home on election night - described Mr Trump as a “pro-British American president”. He claimed the Republican politician would give the UK “potentially huge opportunities if we can overcome the difficulties that the whole of the cabinet have been rude about him”.

Treasury secretary Darren Jones has said Labour is “unlikely” to accept Nigel Farage's offer of acting as an interlocutor between the UK and the US. The Reform UK leader offered to help in the name of “national interest” as he has a close relationship with president-elect,

Nigel Farage says the Prime Minister has the chance to save Britain from tariffs and strike a historic trade deal with the United States.
