David Lammy has sought to temper past remarks he made about Donald Trump, saying he will work with whoever ends up in the White House.
David Lammy has defended calling Donald Trump a neo-Nazi sociopath, saying all politicians had something to say about the former US president 'back in the day'. When he was a backbench MP in 2018, the now-foreign secretary wrote in Time magazine of the then-American leader: 'Trump is not only a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath. He is also a profound threat to the international order that has been the foundation of Western progress for so long.
'We're both from poor backgrounds, both suffered from addiction issues in our family which we've written about... both of us Christians. And now I've met him on a few occasions, and we have been able to find common ground and get on,' he said.
