Tom Watson MP, Labour’s Deputy Leader, commenting on Nigel Farage’s defence of Donald Trump’s remarks, said:

“Nigel Farage’s description of Donald Trump’s appalling remarks as ‘alpha male boasting’ and his insistence that talking about women in these terms is 'the kind of thing men do’ betray a very troubling attitude to women. There are very few men who would describe demeaning women in this way as 'boasting’. Nigel Farage seems to be enjoying his new job as the UK cheerleader for Trump but in so doing he devalues himself and his party in the minds of the decent people of our country.”
