If they really wanted to make Nellie Bonespurs shit the bed and emphasise that the US is still welcome, they could have mischeviously invited the governors of Blue voting US states.
To be fair, Trump cut off the questioning about Canada and shuffled the media on to another question. Should Starmer have forced the answer in somehow? Maybe.
However, Starmer is about actions, not words. Trudeau being invited today says more than words at a presser.
When answering a question, it's fine for the UK PM to assume they won't be interrupted, start with some preamble, then get to the point...without being cut off.
More importantly though, if any Canadians genuinely think the UK doesn't back them because of that presser alone, they've lost the plot.
I saw a lot of that kind of reaction afterwards - I agree with you that the UK will always stand with them, but won’t blame them for being sensitive to it when they’re being hammered by Trump and have the madman on their border.
I get why Canadians are sensitive on the topic and want reassurance. I do. However, I personally feel it's also important to stress they never need to doubt the UK's unconditional support for Canada, regardless of what's said/not said. Our bond and affection for Canadians goes far beyond mere words.
There isn’t the command and control yet. It will be a race against time. The spectre of Trump aiding Putin with Ukrainian grid square intel is very worrying. The spite and malice were obvious in the Oval Office.
Thanks for getting Trudeau's title correct, he is indeed Prime Minister of Canada and not "Governor" of Canada as the orange monkey seems to think he is.
he won't give a shit at all. don't fool yourself. he has shown he doesn't care. he sits on his imagined throne and wont care what the "little leaders" do. he is that big a narcissist.
Can I find fault with Starmer? Yes
Do I think he is doing the right thing for Europe, Ukraine, the UK? Absolutely
Am I glad we don't have Truss, Johnson, Badenoch in charge? God, yes!!!!
I have a feeling that once they clear through the quagmire of filth/corruption/lies left by the Conservative party, this Labour Party might actually turn the country around.
While the TV's and social medias are all about the Trump tariffs and ridiculous antics, the REST of the world has been planning courses AROUND America for the past month to bypass them.
Sure we all pay a lil more, but LESS than tariffs.
They don't realize the spotlights they like blind them.
The British Empire comes to the aid of war mongers again! To plan & scheme for peace in Ukraine to fail and for more pointless deaths to occur.. No OBE award for these scoundrels!
Starmer, the British Establishment's little poodle, is lining up the UK for a direct confrontation with Russia, and this will inevitably lead to tens of thousands of fatalities in the UK.
All because of a pisshole of a country and it's illegal Government in Kyiv run by a dickhead.
Vance, get the big comfy briefs, we're in for a long day typing on my platform. Call Egon too, we'll need his very big and very good one of those things that's the best I've ever seen

(Even though it’s Prime Minister…but is this a deliberate smack to counter the stupid governor insults?)
The poor buggers are living next door to the world's biggest looney bin. 😒
And Canada stands in solidarity with all the good people of the world!
It's all countries for themselves, the US is dead to you! 🪦 RIP.
Anyone else getting pangs of nostalgia for when we had a seat at the EU top table?
