Lichfield’s MP has called for UKIP’s former leader to be given a knighthood.

Michael Fabricant told his social media followers that the country could also benefit from Nigel Farage taking on an international role.

He said Mr Farage, who has failed to secure a seat in Parliament in seven attempts, could forge a strong relationship with a future American administration.

> “I still say we should give Nigel Farage a knighthood.

> “If Donald Trump is re-elected to the US presidency, he should be our trade envoy or even His Majesty’s ambassador to the US as he enjoys a strong relationship with him – let’s use it for a comprehensive trade deal.”  
>  
> Michael Fabricant

Mr Farage has hit the headlines this week after launching a new subscribers club where members can pay £5 and get the chance to “win a pint with Nigel”.
