President Trump is “very disappointed” with Keir Starmer😬

He lashed out at the Chagos Islands deal calling it “a very woke thing”

David Lammy MP told Robert last year it would not go forward if Trump doesn’t like it

So with the deal on pause, what happens now? We’ll ask him tomorrow👇

The Prime Minister warned the Peter Mandelson scandal could cause the public to “lose faith in all politicians and weaken trust still further.”

Polling by @yougov.co.uk from last year suggests it’s already too late 📊

67% of people think that politicians are out merely for themselves 💷

Photo of ITV's political editor Robert Peston and the quote: "The PM is ruling out economic retaliation against Donald Trump’s new tariffs - or at least any time soon - while nonetheless saying he strongly opposes the US President’s attempt to expropriate Greenland.
He believes, he says, that Trump will be amenable to reason, though - as I said in my question to him - all evidence suggests otherwise."

A photo of ITV's political correspondent Robert Peston with the quote "For a UK that has imposed sweeping sanctions on Putin and Russia, British military support for the US seizure of a Russian-flagged tanker today is rational. But the creation of a coherent rival sphere of influence by nations with shared liberal values would at least provide the UK with more of a choice about when to endorse or challenge Trump’s overseas forays (that include, let’s not forget, the forced acquisition of Denmark’s Greenland)." Peston returns to ITV1 at 1045PM next Wednesday and is live online at 9PM.

A quote graphic from a blog written by Robert Peston. The a crunch point is approaching for this central element in Starmer’s approach to foreign relations, in that there is surely no set of circumstances in which his special relationship with Trump could survive such a direct assault on a Nato member.
