POLL: Should Nigel Farage become the UK ambassador if Donald Trump wins US election?
Nigel Farage is a good friend of Donald Trump - who is likely to find himself in the White House again come November.
Nigel Farage has been tipped as a potential UK ambassador to the United States if Donald Trump wins the November Presidential election.
The Reform UK leader has been a stalwart supporter of Mr Trump for many years and the pair have often been photographed together and shared the rostrum speaking at Republican rallies in the US.
Politically the ideology of the GOP is closer to Reform than it is to Sir Keir Starmer's Labour, and Mr Farage recently told Express.co.uk: “I’ve got the best connections to Trump of anybody in British politics."
He added: “Maybe behind the scenes I could be diplomatically helpful."
Express.co.uk is asking readers if they agree Mr Farage would be the best choice for Britain as a link to our closest ally, should Mr Trump storm to victory for a second term as President.
However, Mr Farage would likely face criticism from political rivals and his constituents in the seaside town of Clacton, after he recently stormed to victory there in the July 4 election, becoming the latest MP, representing the area in the House of Commons.

“You can’t be unaffected by it, of course not. But the essential Trump isn’t going to change.”
Mr Farage said he thought Mr Trump would "win big" at the upcoming election against his new potential opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
President Joe Biden ended his bid for re-election on Sunday amid mounting pressure to step aside following the disasterous June 27 debate with Mr Trump.
