Still not base case, but odds must be rising of Trump throwing Starmer under the bus during his DC visit. Could have far-reaching consequences throughout British politics and policy.

Interesting to see how far Trump is prepared to going in being an international pariah, linked to Putin rather than the USA's usual allies.
A difficult test for Starmer, who'd understandably prefer good terms but who will probably have to take a principled stand against Trump's diabolical actions.
I assume Starmer will make sure Trump knows how much grief he's taking for insisting on paying the Maldives and keeping the base available for the US. Pretty much the only card we've got.

But obviously with far greater consequences.
