How long will Lammy remain as Foreign Secretary?

[Sausagenbacon]

It looks like Trump will be the next President, and Lammy has been strongly critical of him.
Will he be put into another post, I wonder. But then, if he IS shifted, the optics aren't good on it.
I'm just posting to see if anyone else is thinking this.

We are now a poorer rich country lacking in an identy and headed for a nose dive in decline as there are few boundaries.

Trump will leverage Harry (there is a court case in the USA due to the publication of Spare and street drug consumption/visa applications) with Charles.

I wouldn't be surprised if he rang Charles and asked him what would be the best outcome for him with the Harry situation to get Charles onside, to have some nice Carriage rides down the Mall to Buckingham Palace whilst signing a trade deal.

@Sausagenbacon Yet Trump spoke highly of Starmer, he and Starmer over ran their meeting with Trump.... and neither met Harris, as things have turned out, not a bad decision.

So what are basing your hatred of Lammy on?

All this crap about Trump being unforgiving? maybe educate yourself and see what Trumps running mate, Vance said about Trump?

called the Republican presidential candidate an "idiot" and said he was "reprehensible." Privately, he compared him to Adolf Hitler

All gone over your head hasn't it...

To be fair so is Trump so they will probably get on really well in person.

Oh dear
So what are basing your hatred of Lammy on?
So. Tell me where I displayed 'hatred'
Please

Lammy is utterly useless as Foreign Secretary. The fact that Labour openly pinned their hopes (and taxpayers money?) to Kamala means the end to the so called special relationship we had with the US. Starmer needs to rethink his strategy, if he has one at all. Getting rid of Lammy would be a good start.

You misunderstand Trump then.

Hes a vengeful fellow and Starmer and Lammy haven’t exactly ingratiated themselves….

The BBC sets out that Lammy has been actually incredibly busy trying to build a relationship with Trump and his team. Thank god for diplomacy. What a nightmare though.

On a brighter note, the socialist experiment in the UK should prove short.

Lets rejoice at that.

I think there will be a cabinet reshuffle in the new year and Lammy will be out of the Foreign Office.

Hopefully. Wonder who would be a better fit in the role?

@Alexandra2001 , it is a perfectly reasonable question given the appalling rude comments Lammy made about Trump. I can’t see how he can continue to represent this country on the world stage after having behaved is such an ignorant and undiplomatic way towards the leader of the free world.

Not sure but Labour are likely feeling more on their own this morning

Just generally against other political shifts and trade implications

Almost anyone. This tactless man should never have been appointed. If he thinks he can soft soap a Trump administration he is deluded

Whoever they choose, they can't be any worse than Lammy.

Trump is a great many things, but I don’t think he’s thick.
Looking forward to the absolutely incompetent trade deal Lammy saddles us with.

He's been pretty forgiving to Vance.

What socialist experiment?

Be fair. We have concluded awful trade deals irrespective of our government.

The US will drive a very hard bargain on farming - British farmers thought Aus was bad. The US sets a much tougher line and on animal welfare forget it.

I think starmer and Lammy are in a bit of a quandary now. Lammy has spread lies about Trump, Starmer sent people over to campaign for Harris.
They are so dumb

What were the lies?

Is there a trade deal in the offing?

I thought imposed tariffs were more likely, we don't get to decide

An FTA will carve the UK out of the general application of the 10 prevent tariffs proposed by Trump.

We can also have a general tariff discussion in parallel. Trump was pro a US UK FTA last time and the UK really does need to decide on a trade and growth policy. Some say it should be the EU and not the US. But we need to choose

I agree. Lammy couldn't get a discount at a car boot sale.

Oh sorry I was posting in good faith. I thought we were here to discuss what the actual government including David Lanmy has been doing to anticipate today’s seismic US election result for global politics. My bad. Crack on.

Let’s hope Lammy isn’t sidelined to manage the Commonwealth relationship.

That could prove costly.
