Nick Ferrari has branded US Vice President JD Vance “dumb” and “aggressive” following comments he made on Tuesday about British soldiers.

The UK deployed soldiers to Afghanistan in 2001 following the US decision to invoke Article 5 of the Nato treaty following the September 11 attacks in New York City.
