JD Vance can be seen walking out at the Republican National Convention to massive applause following his being named by Donald Trump as the Republican Vice Presidential nominee.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy refused to condemn Donald's Trump's potential vice president JD Vance today, despite the hard Right US politician claiming the UK could become the first 'Islamist' state with nuclear weapons under Labour .
Vance hugged his wife Usha after speaking at the third day of the Republican National Convention last night She added: ‘I don’t recognise that characterisation. I’m very proud of the election success that Labour had recently. We won votes across all different communities, across the country, and we’re interested in governing on behalf of Britain and working with international allies.’
He said: 'We were like maybe it's Iran, maybe Pakistan kind of counts, and then we sort of decided maybe it's actually the UK since Labour just took over.But both Labour and Tory figures criticised the comments, with former Conservative minister Andrew Bowie calling them 'offensive'. 'To the people of Middletown, Ohio, and all the forgotten communities in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and every corner of our nation, I promise you this,' he said.The 39-year-old Ohio senator is a relative political unknown, having served in the Senate for less than two years.
But Mr Trump's decision to choose Mr Vance was not about picking a running mate or the next vice president, said Indiana House representative Jim Banks, who introduced the senator at a fundraiser earlier on Wednesday.
