Rishi Sunak has been urged to rule out doing a “dangerous and desperate deal” with Nigel Farage to stop him campaigning against the Tories at the general election.
Some Tory MPs want the prime minister to make the former Ukip leader Britain’s ambassador to America to prevent him backing Reform UK.Labour’s Jonathan Ashworth has now called on Sunak to publicly make clear that he won’t enter into any agreement with the high-profile Brexiteer.that the West should enter into negotiations with Russia over Ukraine as proof of his unsuitability to represent the UK in Washington.“He must put national interest before the Conservative party.
“If the prime minister refuses to publicly rule out such a desperate deal, it will be clearer than ever that Rishi Sunak is too weak to act in the national interest.”He said: “It is clear that whoever is briefing this drivel has never met Farage, never heard him speak or even read about him or his character.
“What they are suggesting is a political bribe. The Tories have been offering him those since about the year 2000. It didn’t work then, why would they think it might work now?” He added: “It might be sensible to offer him the ambassador’s job, because he is the only person in UK politics with a good relationship with Donald Trump, but not because some terrified Tories think it might save their rotten hides.”Sign up and we will email you daily with the best of our political and news coverage while also giving you a taste of our most-popular lifestyle, opinion and personal blogs.
