Trade Union Congress (TUC) general secretary Paul Nowak said the president's actions have shown that people considering supporting Reform UK could lose their jobs if Mr Farage were to follow his lead on rolling back workers’ rights should he become prime minister.
It follows polling carried out by the TUC and campaign group Hope Not Hate which revealed that a majority of Reform supporters want much stronger workers rights and protections which both Mr Farage and President Trump oppose.
Ahead of his meeting, Mr Novak told The Independent that Trump’s attack on workers’ rights should ring alarm bells and, in a swipe at Mr Farage, warned: “this is what happens when you let the populist right in”.
The TUC general secretary highlighted the close relationship between President Trump, Mr Musk and Mr Farage, saying you should “judge a man by the company he keeps”.
