They just can’t help themselves. Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden has been rolled out for the first morning round since Trump’s win to reassure broadcasters that Labour will get along great with Trump now he’s back in power. Despite the constant barrage of abuse the Labour leadership has sent his way in the last ten years…
After McFadden waxed lyrical about the strength of the special relationship Nick Ferrari asked him: “Do you think Donald Trump has KKK sympathies or Nazi sympathies?” McFadden just said: “I don’t want to get into all characteristics of people. Look, what I think is important is this friendship between the two countries.” He dodged the question three times…
Ferrari kept trying but to no avail. Sounds like Pat agrees with the Foreign Secretary then…
Speaking to Sky News off the back of Rachel Reeves’ Air Passenger Duty hike, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said:
“Labour is dependent on those Red Wall seats, and yet every move she makes poisons economic growth and damages the UK’s recovery… it’s the Chancellor who stumbles from policy misstep to policy misstep… I think her policy decisions are incredibly stupid.”
