Journalist and political commentator James Delingpole was speaking on talkRADIO about the President-elect's key adviser, who ran Breitbart, a conservative news website which supported the Republican's campaign.

Delingpole claims Mr Bannon predicted the two biggest political events of the year – after first supporting Brexit, he then helped Mr Trump win the Presidential election in the US.

Executive editor for the London branch of Breitbart, Mr Delingpole, described Mr Bannon as “terrifying”.

Using a reference to Lord of the Rings he said: “He is the most terrifying boss you could ever have. He's like the eye of Sauron, he sees everything.

“He never sleeps, I’d say he gets about two-and-a-half hours sleep a day. He lives on caffeine, he drinks diet coke all the time, diet coke and adrenalin I would say.”
