Labour’s past criticism of Donald Trump and support for Kamala Harris will not interfere with the special relationship, one of Sir Keir Starmer’s most senior Cabinet ministers has insisted.
Pat McFadden, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, said the shared values and shared history between the UK and the US was “more important” than outspoken comments.
Mr McFadden was asked if he regretted that numerous ministers had insulted Mr Trump and the fact that Labour activists had campaigned for his opponent.
He told Sky News: “I don’t think any of these things will interfere in what is such an important alliance for the world, based on defence, security, shared values, shared history.
“It is all more important than all of those things and that is the footing we begin on and that is the footing that we will continue on.”
