It would be the funniest of all outcomes if it did somehow work and we managed to convince Trump to play nice

This is… working…?

I assume they've planned the state visit a long way out so they can dangle the chance to bore on at the King about his mother in Balmoral and inflict Trump golf course food on poor Starmer as a carrot to Macron's stick. Whadda we think? 2027? 2028?

The Bunter outcome

twlldun.bsky.social•13 days ago

Tbf funniest of all outcomes barring some kind of King Ralph accident which electrocuted the entire US line of succession down to some blameless Biden Era agriculture under secretary they haven’t got rid of yet

Just realised an excellent banter outcome would be Farage going hard after Starmer for being too close to Trump.

Farage, Davey, Ramsay/Denyer and Swinney going hard after Starmer for being too close to Trump.

Whose reaction would amuse you most? Stuck between Farage or Musk.

stuartlaidler.bsky.social•13 days ago

Musk.

Imagine going to all the trouble of buying an empire, only to get ditched for the HR bloke.

An early front runner...

drsimonwyatt.bsky.social•13 days ago

Definitely Muskrat. His seething would be priceless as he hates Starmer

Trump on Chagos:
“We’re going to have some discussions about that very soon, and I have a feeling it’s going to work out very well.
I think we’ll be inclined to go along with your country.”

Kemi and Nige will be ‘fewmin

Would love to read Big Dom Cummings tell us why it actually was a bad thing that it worked in only 10,000 words

Farage would be delighted. Avoiding EU tariffs would actually be a real Brexit benefit. He’d never shut up about it.

twlldun.bsky.social•13 days ago

Fair

Musk won't care as long as he can carry on being a cosplay Moss from the IT Crowd.

Trump riding into Kursk in an M1 Abrams by Wednesday

To be fair, I fully expect Trump to renege tomorrow on everything he says today, but at least he is saying the right things.

"Trump is a parrot who just agrees with that last person he talked to" theory remains undefeated

twlldun.bsky.social•13 days ago

Can’t remember who it was said about but “like a cushion, his opinions retained the shape of the last person to sit on him”

highpoh.bsky.social•13 days ago

Was also said of Boris.

stejormur.bsky.social•13 days ago

That is a good one

notadric.bsky.social•13 days ago

Starmer’s professional experience in dealing with not very bright criminals honestly a great asset right now.

convicted felon threatening a commonwealth members state will be getting his boots licked at Buckingham palace.
the plus one has to be Putin right?

sorry Canada but it’s hurrah for the brownshirts.

A good cop/bad cop of a feral French ruck-goblin and a patient, long-suffering Arsenal fan* is interesting, in fairness.

*I am aware each of these is a tautology.

Also: this guy may not exactly be eight-man scrummaging any more, as it were.
