FOREIGN Secretary David Lammy believes he will be able to find common ground with Donald Trump’s running mate even after he called Britain an “Islamist” country.
Lammy 'can find common ground with JD Vance'

Ohio senator JD Vance, who was chosen as the Republican vice presidential candidate on Monday, recently referred to Britain under Labour as the first “truly Islamist” country with a nuclear weapon.

The Foreign Secretary told BBC Breakfast: “Let me just say on JD Vance that I’ve met him now on several occasions, we share a similar working class background with addiction issues in our family. We’ve written books on that. We’ve talked about that.

“And we’re both Christians, so I think I can find common ground with JD Vance.”
