Nigel Farage should be appointed as the UK’s Ambassador to the USA with effect from January 1, says UKIP MEP for the South West William Dartmouth.

He said: ’On BREXIT, the Special Relationship will be even more important. Nigel Farage already has  good ties and a  relationship with the US President-Elect Donald Trump - much better than any one else in  British public life. His appointment would  materially assist the UK in getting a UK-USA Trade agreement for the first time. We in the UK would then  be "at the front of the queue".’
