Nigel Farage has told Sky News that No 10 should put any "personal enmity" against him aside, as he offered to help foster UK links with Donald Trump.

After  at Trump Tower in New York, Mr Farage said: "If I'm wanted by anybody in London to help, I will help." 

But Mr Farage expressed concern about comments made in Downing Street about the man who won Tuesday's presidential election, saying: "Very senior staff members there were rude about Trump in the campaign."

He said they "seemed to take an entirely negative view on me being here and meeting the President-elect".

UKIP's interim leader added that it was in the "national interest" for the Government to bury "their personal enmity towards me, and we ought to have a constructive conversation".

But he suggested that London might have to eat humble pie, commenting: "I do think that just too many members of this Government said too many nasty things about the President-elect, and I think there has to be a mending of fences."

There were, however, deals to be pursued: "We are living now in Brexit Britain," Mr Farage said.

"It gives us phenomenal new global opportunities, and one of the first places we should start is right here, after the inauguration in January." 

Mr Farage also said Mr Trump was naturally well-disposed towards the UK, adding: "Not just President-elect Trump, but actually his whole team are anglophile. 

"They like our country, they recognise what we've done together in the past, and they're coming into this with an incredibly positive view.

"That is good news. We need to seize the day." 

During their meeting, Mr Farage said Mr Trump had been "very thoughtful, very reflective", and was "thinking about all sorts of initiatives". 

"I really do think," Mr Farage said, "that he's capable of being a great president."
