Parties attack Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage over Donald Trump ties
Seven-way ITV debate sees Farage defend Trump’s ‘crass’ talk while Tory keeps out of fray
Opposition leaders attacked Boris Johnson for his closeness to Donald Trump on the eve of the US president’s visit to the UK for a Nato summit, as politicians clashed in a seven-way television debate.
Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the SNP, the Greens and Plaid Cymru all expressed concern about the prime minister’s relationship with Trump, with Nicola Sturgeon saying he should “sup with a very long spoon” in dealing with him.
