Nigel Farage says Trump will return Churchill bust on day one
Nigel Farage warned Keir Starmer not to blow a “huge opportunity” with the United States by dragging Britain back towards the EU.
The Reform leader heaped praise on Donald Trump as the most “Anglophile president” in more than 60 years and blasted the Prime Minister for trying to “reset” the UK’s relationship with Brussels while ignoring the potential of America.

Speaking to the Express in Washington DC on the eve of inauguration of the 47th US, Mr Farage, said the next four years can be a golden opportunity.
He warned Sir Keir “the chance is there” for a booming economic relationship with the United States “but if we reset back to the EU, it’s going to start making that impossible”.
The Reform UK leader revealed that Mr Trump plans to return the often-fought over bust of Winston Churchill to his Oval Office when he moves in today, saying it is further proof of his pro-British attitude.

He added: "This is the most pro-British president since Eisenhower. We've got somebody who is very, very much his mother's son. His mum may have left the Western Isles when she was young but she kept that affiliation. Trump as a teenager came to Scotland a lot and spent a lot of time there.
“He's got his investments there, loves the royals on a level you can't even believe.
“You go to a Trump rally and what are they playing? Elton John, David Bowie, Phil Collins! I mean this is a very very very very Anglophile president and half his cabinet feel the same way as well.
“This is a huge opportunity for us. We must not blow it."
Mr Farage, a close friend of the president’s, hit out at London’s Labour mayor Sadiq Khan after he sparked a major row by claiming that Mr Trump’s return marks the “march of fascism”.

The Clacton MP said the comments were a “disgrace” and accused him of actively damaging Britain’s “most important relationship in the world”.
He said: “How do the Government paper over the Labour mayor of London, on the eve of the inauguration, saying that this is a ‘return to fascism’?
“You can’t just wave a magic wand to make this all go away.
“To damage our most important relationship in the world - without America we can’t defend ourselves, that’s how important this is.”
Asked if he was implying that Mr Khan's comments had threatened national security, Mr Farage answered: “It’s very, very dangerous indeed”.

He praised Mr’s Trump’s peace-keeping abilities, his promotion of “good values” such as tackling criminality and illegal migration and said he marked a return to the idea “that hard work is a good thing, that success is something to be celebrated, that making money is not something to be embarrassed about.”
Mr Farage added: “I’d love us to adopt a bit of that culture too”.

The Reform leader also confirmed that part of his trip to the United States was to discuss fundraising for his party with wealthy Anglo-American individuals.
Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy revealed to the Express last week that one supporter wants to give $10 million to the insurgent right-wing party.
Asked if fundraising in DC has also been on his agenda, Mr Farage confessed: “That’s obviously part of the trip”.
