Nigel Farage is offering to be an unpaid go-between for No10 and the White House to broker a new era in Anglo-American relations.

The interim UKIP leader is willing to use his influence with incoming President Donald Trump to forge trade deals, liaise with NATO and jointly combat Islamic State.

He is even ready to take on global giants like Google, Amazon and Starbucks to ensure they pay the right amount of UK tax.

Farage’s diary is free from tomorrow, when UKIP chooses its new leader.

And in a Sunday Mirror article today he says he would serve as UK ambassador in Washington or any other role which might help.

He also savages PM Theresa May for being “small-minded” for spurning his services.

Farage, 52, has spent five years cultivating right-wing American bigwigs, such as Steve Bannon and Jess Sessions, who will form the core of the Trump administration.

But it was not until July that he and Trump, 70, met in person on the campaign trail in Mississippi.

The MEP said: “The Brexit message resonated with desperately cheesed off American voters. The Trump team took it on.”

As the campaign progressed Farage was careful not to endorse the Republican because he had criticised Barack Obama’s intervention in the EU referendum and did not wish to seem hypocritical.

The president-elect humiliated Mrs May by putting her tenth in his queue of foreign leaders to call.

And then he rubbed her nose in it by granting Farage a 50-minute face-to-face meeting in New York.

Farage said: “Trump is a very loyal man and if you earn his trust he will stand by you for life.”

The president-elect really put the boot in to No10 last week by tweeting Farage would make a good ambassador to Washington.

Farage called the tweet “a bolt from the blue”, adding: “If No10 wants to use me I don’t want any money for it. But if they want to offer me a job that’s another thing.

“Britain now has some great opportunities and I’m in a good position to negotiate them.”
