Our Dear Leader is off to Washington. He's taking Lammy the liability with him, but he's going on a different flight.
TBF to Keir, I wouldn't want to sit next to Lammy for 9 hours either, so fair play 😂

Tbf the argument could be made both ways 😬

Agree on Chajis,

EasternStandard · 26/02/2025 15:58

Damn

Chagos

Also agree on the sun lounger part

Mike Amesbury has been spared gaol on appeal - but he’s got to do twenty days ‘rehabilitation’ work.
Does anyone know what that entails and will it be enforced?

Upstartled · 27/02/2025 17:45

Is rehabilitation work the same as community service? Sorry, no clue @Barbadossunset

The White House is still angling for us to spend 5% gdp on defence. I don't think he's going to get his Love, Actually moment. He's going to be sent home with even more of a headache and those rancid Tate Brothers if he's not lucky.

TheNuthatch · 27/02/2025 18:30

@Upstartled
Any updates on the white house? I'm stuck in a waiting room with rubbish 4g so catch watch.

No idea sorry. I'm sure the people of Runcorn will be thrilled to have their MP back. He still hasn't resigned!

There's going to be a statement at seven. Will you still be stuck then?

TheNuthatch · 27/02/2025 18:33

NHS so probably!

I'm in outside a dc' class and not watching

Something on Times radio about no to security guarantee then 'we'd always back the British' which is a bit vague

Chagos probably on, so far. Annoyingly

Upstartled · 27/02/2025 18:35

Ugh. Sorry. I'm away from telly.

I only have telegraph highlights. Apparently Trump is saying the mineral deal is a proxy for security guarantees and he believes Putin will honour a peace deal.

EasternStandard · 27/02/2025 18:43

Listening Times radio is good if no tv

EasternStandard · 27/02/2025 18:46

British can take care of themselves, we'd be there, you don't need us

Starmer - we back each other up

PuttingouttheFirewithGasoline · 27/02/2025 18:46

Starmer has pulled out a letter from King Charles offering an "unprecedented" second state visit to the UK.

I think this move is an absolute blinder and trump seems very moved by it. The sheer bigglyness of an unprecedented second state visit is big.

Well done king Charles!!

Starmer is trying to touch trump when he can.
Trump doesn't seem as jovial as when with macron.

EasternStandard · 27/02/2025 18:48

@PuttingouttheFirewithGasoline what did Starmer say when Trump asked if he could take on the Russians by himself?

I can't believe the radio cut at that point

PuttingouttheFirewithGasoline · 27/02/2025 18:49

I didn't hear that either.

PuttingouttheFirewithGasoline · 27/02/2025 18:54

Someone mentioned the tate brothers, trump said he didn't know anything about it and starmer cut in, there is obviously a British element here and human trafficking is a security threat.

I thought he did well to get that in because obviously trump is all over invaders and security threats so hopefully starmer can tell him about those vile men and they will be ejected from USA.

The mood doesn't feel as warm as macron however so far starmer seems well primed and precise.

I rhj think whatever trump is thinking and wants to say he will have that bribe at the back of the state visit.

I think trump will find starmer intensely boring and hard work but I think and hope he will sense his... Not sure what to call it 😂😂and Andrew marr said t starmer will be extremely happy he's not going as a member of the eu.

EasternStandard · 27/02/2025 19:12

Tg for the King and his letter

EasternStandard · 27/02/2025 19:13

It’s probation meetings to address his offending behaviour.

It’s enforced, because it’s a court order.

Any breaches and hell be back in court.

PuttingouttheFirewithGasoline · 27/02/2025 20:33

We will be digging, dig dig digging we must...
Trump on Ukraine.

I think it's a stroke of genius the mineral thing I really do.

PuttingouttheFirewithGasoline · 27/02/2025 20:38

Great trade agreements with the UK thank king Charles for the invite...

I'm surprised he didn't mention awful Biden taking Churchill out of oval office 😂😂

Oh!! Starmer has just mentioned it 😂😂

EasternStandard · 27/02/2025 20:46

Looks like we're providing the planes now

No security guarantee?

@ChardonnaysBeastlyCatAh, ok. He’s also got to do 200 hours of unpaid work - will that be something like litter picking?

I suppose.
