Paul Nuttall, left, is congratulated by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage after being named as the new party leader Monday in London. The selection of Paul Nuttall, a European Parliament member, seeks to end internal turmoil within the U.K. Independence Party, or UKIP, as it tries to chart a path without the charismatic but combative Farage, who led the party’s anti-E.U. But Britain’s treasury chief, Philip Hammond, reiterated Thursday that there are no plans to replace its current ambassador to Washington. “It isn’t for other countries to decide who we appoint as ambassadors and if I ever need any advice from Nigel Farage, I’ve got his number, and I’ll give him a call,” Hammond told the ITV network.
