Lib Dems denounce new Reform UK chair as ‘Trump sycophant’<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

The Liberal Democrats have criticised Nigel Farage<\/a> for appointing someone they describe as a Trump sycophant as Reform UK chair.<\/p>\n

In a statement about the appointment of David Bull (see 11.55am<\/a>), Daisy Cooper<\/strong>, the Lib Dem deputy leader, said:<\/p>\n

\n

<\/svg>The conveyor belt of Trump sycophants appointed by Nigel Farage rolls on.<\/p>\n

Reform is more interested in advancing Donald Trump\u2019s agenda over here, not standing up for the communities that they are supposed to represent.<\/p>\n

This elevation of yet another Trump lapdog is just further evidence of this.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To justify their comment, the Lib Dems highlighted this tweet<\/a> from Bull celebrating Trump\u2019s election victory last year, and another<\/a> showing that, as a Talk TV presenter, Bull once went on air with a bandage over his ear show he could show \u201csolidarity\u201d with Trump after the assassination attempt.<\/p>\n

With Labour<\/a> reluctant to criticise President Trump because they have to negotiate with him, and the Tories reluctant to criticise him because they admire him, the Liberal Democrats are the biggest party in the Commons with ample scope for Trump-bashing, and they rarely miss a chance indulge.<\/p>\n
