A future Labour Government will prioritise the permanent scrapping of Donald Trump’s punitive tariffs on the “crown jewel” Scotch whisky industry.
Lisa Nandy, a senior shadow cabinet member, said a Keir Starmer Government would not “pander” to a US president like the Tories had done.

“And if the UK Government cannot be trusted to go out and defend that industry, to celebrate that industry, and to take on those who seek to do it harm, I can understand why people would turn around and say, 'well, what is the point of the United Kingdom'?”
The Wigan MP said scrapping the tariffs, rather than simply suspending them, would be the policy of a Labour Government
"Yeah, absolutely. You wouldn't see a Labour Government pandering to a US president who is harming British
