reported that Tory MPs were urging the Prime Minister to make Mr Farage the UK’s ambassador to the USReform UK had instantly rejected the proposal, bandying it the latest attempt by “terrified Tories to save their rotten hides”.
Jonathon Ashworth, Labour’s Shadow Paymaster General, said: “Rishi Sunak must put national interest before the Conservative Party. No secret negotiations to keep the Farage wolf from the Tory door.
