The shadow foreign secretary said the apparent closeness of the Reform leader to the incoming president was ‘irrelevant’.
She insisted the Tories shared ‘DNA on values and beliefs’ with the Republicans and the parties ‘ended the Cold War’ together.
The brutal-put down came on the eve of the ceremony marking the White House changeover in Washington – which will also be joined by ex-PMs Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.
Keir Starmer will not be present, with the government pointing out that is in keeping with long-standing convention.
However, there are mounting questions about how Labour will manage the crucial relationship with the new US administration.
Priti Patel dismissed Nigel Farage as a ‘pop-up act’ today as they both prepare to attend Donald Trump ‘s inauguration
The shadow foreign secretary said the apparent closeness of the Reform leader (pictured) to the incoming president was ‘irrelevant’
The brutal-put down came on the eve of the ceremony marking Mr Trump (pictured) returning to the White House
Asked about Mr Farage’s influence with Mr Trump, Ms Patel told Sky News it was ‘not a relevant question’.
‘They are our sister party. We have enduring long-standing ties with the Republican Party,’ she said, stressing the Reagan-Thatcher era.
On Reform, she said: ‘We’re not a pop-up act in the way in which they are and their presence is here right now.
‘Our two parties are knitted together in the very principles of conservatism and our DNA on values and beliefs is incredibly strong.’
Ms Patel said she worked closely with the last Trump government as Home Secretary and ‘those ties will continue’.
The comments came after Mr Farage described some members of Mr Trump’s incoming cabinet as ‘genuine friends on speed dial’ and reiterated his offer to help foster relations.
He told the Sun on Sunday that if he were able to help ‘behind the scenes’ he would ‘because it is in the national interest’.
The timing of any official US visit by Sir Keir will be compared to that of Theresa May, who arrived at the White House as Prime Minister just seven days after Mr Trump’s first inauguration.
Government sources insisted last night that ‘constructive’ discussions with the incoming administration were under way over when Sir Keir could visit Washington.
But there are worries that tensions could flare and derail the Special Relationship.
Mr Trump’s campaign filed a Federal Election Commission complaint against Labour in October, accusing it of ‘blatant foreign interference’ after the party’s head of operations, Sofia Patel, asked for people to travel to the US to campaign for Kamala Harris.
A Trump ally told The Mail on Sunday: ‘It was election interference, plain and simple. Who the f*** do these people think they are?
‘Trump’s view is it’s none of their business what is going on here and they should have kept out.
Ms Truss has been posting messages from Washington DC on social media
‘How could their meddling possibly achieve anything? It didn’t. But it’s left a nasty taste in the mouth as far as President Trump and his team goes.
‘What a f***ing cheek these people have. And it didn’t do any good because Kamala was useless and clearly so were they.’
Despite the tensions, Sir Keir told the Financial Times he was building a ‘constructive’ relationship with Mr Trump, which he hoped would exempt the UK from threatened punitive trade tariffs and drown out the vitriolic attacks on him by Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a member of Mr Trump’s team.

Priti Patel dismisses Nigel Farage as a ‘pop-up act’ as they both prepare to attend Trump’s inauguration alongside Boris Johnson and Liz Truss
In a recent statement, UK Home Secretary Priti Patel dismissed Nigel Farage as a ‘pop-up act’ as they both prepare to attend President Trump’s inauguration alongside British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Trade Secretary Liz Truss.
Patel’s comments come amidst speculation that Farage, the former leader of the UK Independence Party and a prominent Brexit campaigner, may try to capitalize on his connections with the Trump administration to further his own political ambitions.
“Mr. Farage may see himself as a significant player on the global stage, but in reality, he is nothing more than a pop-up act,” Patel said. “His opportunistic behavior and grandstanding do not reflect the serious and responsible approach that the UK government takes to international relations.”
The presence of Farage, Johnson, and Truss at Trump’s inauguration has raised eyebrows among political observers, with many questioning the UK’s relationship with the outgoing US president. However, Patel emphasized that the British government remains committed to working with the US on issues of mutual interest, regardless of the personalities involved.
“We will continue to engage with the US government in a constructive and professional manner, irrespective of who occupies the White House,” Patel said. “Our priority is to promote the interests of the British people and strengthen our ties with our closest ally.”
The attendance of Patel, Farage, Johnson, and Truss at Trump’s inauguration is likely to attract further scrutiny in the coming days, as the UK prepares to navigate a new era in its relationship with the US.

President Biden awarded the leaders of the former Jan. 6 House Select Committee, former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and Mississippi Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson, the second-highest civilian medal for their “exemplary deeds of service for their country,” according to the White House.
“The Presidential Citizens Medal is awarded to citizens of the United States of America who have performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens. President Biden believes these Americans are bonded by their common decency and commitment to serving others. The country is better because of their dedication and sacrifice,” the White House detailed in a statement Thursday.
The White House announced 20 people across the nation would receive the Presidential Citizens Medal on Thursday, including Cheney and Thompson, who Biden lauded as “intrepid” and holding a “steadfast commitment to truth.”
“Throughout two decades in public service, including as a Congresswoman for Wyoming and Vice Chair of the Committee on the January 6 attack, Liz Cheney has raised her voice—and reached across the aisle—to defend our Nation and the ideals we stand for: Freedom. Dignity. And decency. Her integrity and intrepidness remind us all what is possible if we work together,” the White House said in its statement of Cheney.

“Born and raised in a segregated Mississippi, as a college student inspired by the Civil Rights movement, Bennie Thompson volunteered on campaigns and registered southern Black voters. That call to serve eventually led him to Congress, where he chaired the House January 6th Committee—at the forefront of defending the rule of law with unwavering integrity and a steadfast commitment to truth,” the statement on Thompson read.
Thompson served as the chair of the Jan. 6 select committee, with Cheney serving as the vice chair. The Jan. 6 committee was founded in July 2021 to investigate the breach of the U.S. Capitol earlier that year by supporters of Trump ahead of President Biden officially taking office on Jan. 20. The Jan. 6 committee’s investigation was carried out when Democrats held control of the House.
The committee concluded its 18-month investigation in 2023, after Republicans regained control of the House, and sent referrals to the Justice Department recommending that Trump be criminally prosecuted for his involvement in the lead-up to his supporters breaching the Capitol.

Incoming Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., reacted to Biden’s decision to award Cheney with the medal in a comment to Fox Digital on Thursday, slamming her as a former elected official who “represents partisanship and divisiveness.”
“President Biden was either going to pardon Liz Cheney or give her an award. She doesn’t deserve either. She represents partisanship and divisiveness, not Wyoming,” he said.
Republican elected officials and President-elect Donald Trump have railed against the committee and its leaders for years, with a recent Republican House report calling on the FBI to investigate Cheney for “potential criminal witness tampering” related to her role on the former select committee.

“Based on the evidence obtained by this Subcommittee, numerous federal laws were likely broken by Liz Cheney, the former Vice Chair of the January 6 Select Committee, and these violations should be investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” stated a report released last month by House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight Chair Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga. “Evidence uncovered by the Subcommittee revealed that former Congresswoman Liz Cheney tampered with at least one witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, by secretly communicating with Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.”
Cheney and Thompson both slammed the report in comments to Fox Digital last month.
“The January 6th Committee’s hearings and report featured scores of Republican witnesses, including many of the most senior officials from Trump’s own White House, campaign and Administration,” Cheney said. “All of this testimony was painstakingly set out in thousands of pages of transcripts, made public along with a highly detailed and meticulously sourced 800 page report. Now, Chairman Loudermilk’s ‘Interim Report’ intentionally disregards the truth and the Select Committee’s tremendous weight of evidence, and instead fabricates lies and defamatory allegations in an attempt to cover up what Donald Trump did. Their allegations do not reflect a review of the actual evidence, and are a malicious and cowardly assault on the truth. No reputable lawyer, legislator or judge would take this seriously.”

Cheney had served as the third-highest ranking Republican in the House but was ousted from her role as GOP conference chair by her colleagues in 2021. Cheney lost her 2022 primary run for re-election to Trump-backed Rep. Harriet Hageman.
The report followed speculation that Biden could grant Cheney a presidential pardon ahead of leaving the Oval Office. Late last year, Trump renewed his longstanding criticisms of Cheney and the Jan. 6 committee, suggesting she and Thompson could face jail time.
“Cheney did something that’s inexcusable, along with Thompson and the people on the un-select committee of political thugs and, you know, creeps,” he said in an interview with NBC. “They deleted and destroyed all evidence.”
“And Cheney was behind it. And so was Bennie Thompson and everybody on that committee,” he continued. “For what they did, honestly, they should go to jail.”
The Presidential Citizens Medal is the second-highest honor a civilian can receive from the president, after the Presidential Medal of Freedom, according to the Associated Press.
In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden has awarded Liz Cheney, the chairwoman of the Jan 6 committee, with a prestigious medal for her dedication to uncovering the truth behind the Capitol insurrection. In a ceremony at the White House, Biden praised Cheney for her unwavering commitment to upholding democracy and holding those responsible for the events of January 6th accountable.
During his speech, Biden stated, “The United States is better because of the dedication and hard work of individuals like Liz Cheney. She has shown immense courage in the face of adversity and has been a true patriot in her pursuit of justice. We owe her a debt of gratitude for her tireless efforts to uncover the truth and ensure that such a dark day in our nation’s history never happens again.”
Cheney, who has faced backlash from members of her own party for her role in the committee, expressed gratitude for the recognition and vowed to continue fighting for the truth. “I am honored to receive this medal from President Biden, but the real honor is in serving my country and working towards a more just and transparent government. The events of January 6th were an attack on our democracy, and it is our duty to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.”
The awarding of this medal to Cheney highlights the importance of bipartisan cooperation in the pursuit of truth and justice. It serves as a reminder that, despite political differences, we must all come together to defend our democracy and uphold the values that make America great.

WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Joe Biden on Thursday will honor former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., with the Presidential Citizens Medal, the White House reportedly announced.
The medal, according to the National Archives, recognizes “citizens of the United States of America who have performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens.” It is the nation’s second-highest civilian award, behind only the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
The White House explained Cheney will receive the award in part for her work on the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, according to The New York Times.
“Throughout two decades in public service, including as a congresswoman for Wyoming and vice chair of the committee on the Jan. 6 attack, Liz Cheney has raised her voice — and reached across the aisle — to defend our nation and the ideals we stand for: Freedom. Dignity. And decency,” the White House told The New York Times. “Her integrity and intrepidness remind us all what is possible if we work together.”
A total of 20 people will reportedly receive the medal Thursday, including Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who chaired the January 6 Committee.
The White House did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Cheney was a vocal supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris during her recent presidential bid. The former congresswoman last year predicted “millions of Republicans” would back Harris in the election.
“Donald Trump is doing everything he can to try to get people to forget about what he did on January 6,” she said in October. “When you think about that level of instability, that level of erratic decision making, the misogyny, that’s not someone that you can trust with the power of the Oval Office.”
“I would just remind people, if you’re at all concerned, you can vote your conscience and not ever have to say a word to anybody,” she added.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in December would not commit to an answer when pressed on whether the White House would issue preemptive pardons for Cheney and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
“It would be a bad move on my behalf if I preempted the president or previewed anything that the president was thinking about considering and so, this is something he is going to talk with his team about and I just don’t have anything beyond that for you,” Jean-Pierre said.
That response followed Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, after previously promising not to.
“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg suggested in November Cheney would be a “great” attorney general under a potential Harris presidency. The suggestion came while Cheney was a guest on the daytime talk show.
Goldberg lauded Cheney for her “moral core” as the former congresswoman shook her head in response.

According to reports, President Joe Biden is set to honor Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney with the prestigious Presidential Citizens Medal. This award is one of the highest honors a civilian can receive and is given to individuals who have made significant contributions to the country and its citizens.
Cheney has been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump and has stood firm in her beliefs, even in the face of backlash from her own party. She has been praised for her courage and integrity in standing up for what she believes is right, even when it is not popular.
The decision to award Cheney with the Presidential Citizens Medal is seen as a bold move by President Biden, who is known for reaching across the aisle and working with members of both parties. This gesture is not only a recognition of Cheney’s service and dedication to the country but also a symbol of unity and bipartisanship in a time of deep political division.
Many are applauding the decision to honor Cheney with this prestigious award, citing her courage, integrity, and commitment to upholding democratic values. The ceremony is set to take place in the coming weeks, and it is sure to be a momentous occasion for both Cheney and the country as a whole.
President Joe Biden is bestowing the second highest civilian medal on Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson, leaders of the congressional investigation into the Capitol riot who Donald Trump has said should be jailed for their roles in the inquiry.
Biden will award the Presidential Citizens Medal to 20 people in a ceremony Thursday at the White House, including Americans who fought for marriage equality, a pioneer in treating wounded soldiers, and two of the president’s longtime friends, former Sens. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., and Chris Dodd, D-Conn.
“President Biden believes these Americans are bonded by their common decency and commitment to serving others,” the White House said in a statement. “The country is better because of their dedication and sacrifice.”
Biden last year honored people who were involved in defending the Capitol from a mob of angry Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, or who helped safeguard the will of American voters during the 2020 presidential election, when Trump tried and failed to overturn the results.
Cheney, a former Wyoming congresswoman, and Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, led the House committee that investigated the insurrection. The committee’s final report asserted that Trump criminally engaged in a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the lawful results of the election he lost to Biden and failed to act to stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol. Thompson wrote that Trump “lit that fire.”
Cheney, who lost her seat in the GOP primary in August, later said she would vote for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race and campaigned with the Democratic nominee, raising Trump’s ire. Biden has been considering whether to offer preemptive pardons to Cheney and others Trump has targeted.
Trump, who won the 2024 election and will take office Jan. 20, still refuses to back away from his lies about the 2020 presidential race and has said he would pardon the rioters once he is back in the White House.
During an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the president-elect said that “Cheney did something that’s inexcusable, along with Thompson and the people on the un-select committee of political thugs and, you know, creeps,” claiming without evidence they “deleted and destroyed” testimony they collected.
“Honestly, they should go to jail,” he said.
Cheney and Thompson were “an embarrassment to this country” for their conduct on the committee, Trump’s communications director Steven Cheung asserted.
Biden is also giving the award to attorney Mary Bonauto, who fought to legalize same-sex marriage, and Evan Wolfson, a leader of the marriage equality movement.
Other honorees include Frank Butler, who set new standards for using tourniquets on war injuries; Diane Carlson Evans, an Army nurse during the Vietnam War who founded the Vietnam Women’s Memorial Foundation; and Eleanor Smeal, an activist who led women’s rights protests in the 1970s and fought for equal pay.
He’s also giving the award to photographer Bobby Sager, academics Thomas Vallely and Paula Wallace, and Frances Visco, the president of the National Breast Cancer Coalition.
Other former lawmakers being honored include former Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J.; former Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, the first woman to represent Kansas; and former Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., who championed gun safety measures after her son and husband were shot to death.
Biden will honor four people posthumously: Joseph Galloway, a former war correspondent who wrote about the first major battle in Vietnam in the book “We Were Soldiers Once … and Young”; civil rights advocate and attorney Louis Lorenzo Redding; former Delaware judge Collins Seitz; and Mitsuye Endo Tsutsumi, who was held with other Japanese Americans during World War II and challenged the detention.
The Presidential Citizens Medal was created by President Richard Nixon in 1969 and is the country’s second highest civilian honor after the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It recognizes people who “performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens.”
President Joe Biden has announced that he will award the prestigious Presidential Citizens Medal to 20 individuals, including Republican Representative Liz Cheney. The award is one of the highest honors a civilian can receive, recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions to the country and their communities.
Cheney, who has been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump and his handling of the 2020 election, is being recognized for her courage and integrity in standing up for democracy and the rule of law. Despite facing backlash from within her own party, Cheney has remained steadfast in her commitment to upholding the Constitution and defending the integrity of the electoral process.
In a statement, President Biden praised Cheney and the other recipients of the award, saying, “These individuals represent the best of America – they are dedicated, courageous, and committed to making a positive impact on the world around them. I am honored to recognize their contributions and grateful for their service to our country.”
The Presidential Citizens Medal will be presented to Cheney and the other honorees at a ceremony later this year. Congratulations to all the recipients on this well-deserved honor! #PresidentialCitizensMedal #LizCheney #JoeBiden

President Joe Biden plans on Thursday to announce 20 recipients of the Presidential Citizens Medal.
According to the White House press release, this award is given out to Americans who “have performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens.”
“The country is better because of their dedication and sacrifice,” the press release added.
One of the most notable recipients is former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney for her actions as the vice chair of the committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The press release said that she used her voice and reached across the aisle to defend American ideals of freedom, dignity and decency. The move comes as Cheney has faced attacks from President-elect Trump, a member of her own party, for her role in the Jan. 6 committee.

President Joe Biden has announced that he will be awarding the prestigious Presidential Citizens Medal to 20 recipients, including Congresswoman Liz Cheney. This award is one of the highest honors a civilian can receive, recognizing individuals who have made significant contributions to their communities and the nation as a whole.
Cheney, who has been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump and his policies, is being recognized for her unwavering commitment to upholding democracy and the rule of law. As one of the few Republicans who voted to impeach Trump following the Capitol insurrection, Cheney has shown immense courage and integrity in standing up for what she believes is right.
In addition to Cheney, the other recipients of the Presidential Citizens Medal come from a diverse range of backgrounds and have all made substantial impacts in their respective fields. From activists fighting for social justice to scientists leading groundbreaking research, these individuals represent the best of America and serve as an inspiration to us all.
The ceremony to award the Presidential Citizens Medals will take place later this month, and President Biden is expected to personally present the medals to each recipient. This honor is a testament to the incredible work that these individuals have done to make our country a better place, and we congratulate them all on this well-deserved recognition.
