Sir Keir Starmer is “not at all” disappointed that none of his top team were invited to Donald Trump’s inauguration, despite Nigel Farage and a host of senior Tories heading to the ceremony, Downing Street has said.
The prime minister’s official spokesman insisted it is “entirely normal” for Britain to be represented by outgoing ambassador Dame Karen Pierce, while her replacement Lord Mandelson and Sir Keir’s cabinet have been snubbed.
