Nigel Farage says Kemi Badenoch misinterpreted his suggestion for a deal with Donald Trump
As my colleague Peter Walker predicted, the Lib Dem MPs’ ‘crisis meeting’ about the future of Ed Davey as leader last night went nowhwere in the end. Chris Mason from the BBC has a good story about it here. Here’s an extract.
The Liberal Democrat leader arrived smiling, flanked by several loyal MPs, but made no comment as he entered the room.
Nearly four hours later, when the meeting broke up, his deputy Daisy Cooper said: “There is overwhelming support for Ed in the parliamentary party and a real sense that we need to come together as a group.”
It is mad for someone who wants to be prime minister to say we should give away one piece of British territory just to stop an American President talking about another …
Nigel Farage has made such a huge fuss about defending the Chagos Islands. He calls this making a deal. Giving away British territory in return for someone keeping quiet is not a deal. It is humiliating.
