Tory leadership abandoned British values in a ‘nauseating’ embrace of American populism, says shadow foreign secretary
Boris Johnson and other Tory cabinet ministers who spent years “queueing up to pour praise” on Donald Trump, despite his objectionable views have achieved nothing other than to diminish the UK’s reputation in the world, the shadow foreign secretary, Lisa Nandy, has said.
Calling for a new UK foreign policy with a “moral centre”, Nandy attacks key figures in the Conservative leadership for the way they lauded Trump as a means of advancing their own careers, forgetting that his attitudes amounted to a rejection of British values of tolerance, democracy and the promotion of minority rights.
