Labour's David Lammy has been appointed as the UK’s new foreign secretary

David Lammy is set for a "big problem" after he has been appointed as the UK's new foreign secretary.

Britain’s new prime minister Keir Starmer made the appointment after his party won a widely-predicted landslide victory over Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives on Thursday night.

Speaking on GB News, host Martin Daubney said: "David Lammy named the foreign secretary. Now that is an appointment that might raise a few eyebrows.

"David Lammy was very critical of Brexiteers, comparing them to Nazis. Post-referendum he was very critical of Donald Trump.

"They might have a bit of an awkward conversation when they first meet."
