Are you sure that's him?  Looks a lot like Youngkin (Virginia governor/MAGA fence sitter).

I’ll be surprised if he makes it as far as ‘the state of the union address’ and doubly so if he lasts more than a month after that.

 

Well he's certainly in need of a break (according to friends) so let's hope he resigns because the lapdogs/sycophants in Labour certainly won't get rid of him.

I am aware of the thread.

 

The only guy who won't make it past the state of the union address is the guy who appointed Mandelson.

Starmer is a complete fool for appointing an idiot like Mandelson with a history of insulting Trump for this position. 

 

The relationship between the UK and the US is over until the next UK election. 

Exactly. They better hope the Germans dont come again.

 

I have a soft spot for Blighty among the countries of the world because we absorbed their best ideas and they speak a version of American. Like all little brothers, they will come back once the British electorate figures out how looney and dangerous the Socialists are.

The Germans have enough problems from within now. I think they'll be more concerned about fixing their failing economy and managing domestic, imported terrorism than invading anyone else.

The British have already worked out how dangerous the socialists are. Unfortunately we have several years of them remaining and they will do even more damage to the UK than Biden/Harris did to the US in their disastrous term.

It's not wise for a diplomat to tell the truth!

I'm starting to think Starmer thinks of the worst person for the role and then appoints them.

 

Rachel from accounts as Chancellor.

David "Mastermind" Lammy as Foreign secretary.

Mandelson as ambassador to the US.

 

What next? Huw Edwards as head of the CPS?
