Nigel Farage’s suggestion that he could serve as a “bridge” between the UK and Donald Trump’s incoming administration has been met with a sharp rebuke from a cabinet minister.

Farage’s Proposal

The Reform UK leader and MP for Clacton floated the idea of becoming the UK’s ambassador to the United States if Trump secures a second term in office. However, his ambitions were quickly dismissed during Thursday night’s Question Time.

Minister’s Response

Business secretary Jonathan Reynolds did not hold back, saying Farage should focus on his duties as an MP. An audience member asked, “As a democratically-elected MP, could Mr Farage act as a bridge to the new Trump government?”

Reynolds responded: “He’s already got a job. After working so hard to get into parliament, he should do that job for the people of Clacton.”

Presenter Fiona Bruce noted Farage’s close ties to Trump. Reynolds replied, “In diplomatic terms, we need someone who represents British interests to the US, not the other way around. Farage should stick to the role he’s been elected for.”

Starmer’s PMQs Mockery

Farage’s relationship with Trump also came under fire during Prime Minister’s Questions earlier this week. Keir Starmer mocked Farage for his frequent trips to the US, joking, “I’m glad to see the honourable member back in Britain. He’s spent so much time in America, I half-expected to see him on the immigration statistics.”

The remark prompted laughter across the House, including from Farage himself.
