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.

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.

Farage was back for PMQs after his latest trans-Atlantic foray to be by his friend’s side for the US election. He’d quite like to be the next UK ambassador in Washington, to put his Trump-whispering skills to the test on the ground.

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.
