Except that they did?and he did and I don?t think things quite work like that - not in the long term - as far as deputy PM?s are concerned.

As for being ?mates? with Trump. I?m sure Starmer finds it all enormously difficult, but surely his ability to maintain a cordial relationship with the mad man (imo) who happens to be the current leader of our closest and strongest allies is a plus point. We?re in the sh1t as it is. Imagine how much worse it would be if Trump was hitting us with the tariffs he?s using against others.
