Contributing sentiments towards policy:
61% : Farage went on to embarrass the then-PM by becoming the first global politician to meet Trump after his 2016 election win - in the gold lift at Trump Tower in New York - at a time when the UK Government was prioritising a US trade deal as the major prize of Brexit.53% : But being second or third or even further down the line to meet Trump may prove beneficial to Sir Keir, given how many Labour MPs will be fiercely opposed to a presidency under the Republican, Harrison added.
50% : "Mr Harrison raised the prospect of the Reform leader holding "back channel" discussions with Trump that could see the potential president hearing different messages from the UK than those approved by the Labour government.
49% : She said populist figures such as Trump, Farage, and Marine Le Pen - whose party could be in government in France after its current parliamentary election - "feed off each other, they gain energy from each other.
48% : While high level diplomacy can only be conducted leader-to-leader, "if both Trump is elected and Farage gets into the Commons - Trump will see him as one of his most natural allies in the UK".
46% : One well-placed former diplomat told that Farage "pumped up" Trump to criticise Theresa May during Brexit negotiations, with the then-president saying in 2018 that May "didn't listen to me" on how to conduct the talks, including his idea to "sue the EU".
45% : "For whatever reason Trump and Farage do have a rapport, at the same time as Keir Starmer is maybe trying to establish one," Harrison said.
44% : "Will he inspire Trump to do wild things, particularly on Ukraine?
36% : "Labour's leader will face "much more significant" challenges than May "because of the way that lots of Labour MPs will be disposed towards Trump", added.
33% : "She said it was possible that Farage would reinforce Trump "but I don't see him changing British policy".
25% : When it comes to the issue of Russia, Tory former foreign secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind believes Trump will be more of a "problem" than Farage, as the Republican could upset Western unity on Ukraine, whereas the Reform leader is merely a "nuisance".
23% : A year later, Trump also remarked on "how badly" she handled the negotiations, warning it was "tearing a country apart".
22% : The Reform UK leader and Trump have already worked in tandem to create issues for the British prime minister of the day.
22% : However, Bronwen Maddox, director of Chatham House, suggested Farage could inspire Trump into a more hardline position on Ukraine.
19% : Meanwhile, Trump is narrowly ahead in several US polls looking ahead to November's presidential election, a position bolstered by Biden's shaky performance in the first head-to-head presidential debate in which he lost his train of thought, slurred his words and stared open-mouthed while waiting to speak.
