Davey - "457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. Trump avoided military service five times. How dare he question their sacrifice."

Farage -

In the interest of balance, NF has finally spoken up about Trump’s comments.

In a tweet he said: 'Donald Trump is wrong. For 20 years our armed forces fought bravely alongside America's in Afghanistan.'

And he liked to a clip of himself speaking at the World Economic Forum in which he said he would object 'politely', to what Trump said.

'When the decision was made to go into Afghanistan we went in with America and a coalition of the willing,' he said.

'We stayed by America for the whole 20 years, we proportionately spent the same money as America, we lost the same number of lives as America, pro-rata, and the same applies to Denmark and other countries too, so it is not quite fair.'

"not quite fair"…
