Perhaps a strange suggestion but I think the King should take Trump to a game shoot (as long as any quarry is sustainable and used for the estate as opposed to a trophy). Space to connect and influence away from inevitable and important protests?

Interesting discussion, Suella Braverman clearly talking nonsense. I’m a Briton from Bolton but my dad came from Glasgow and my DNA heritage is 72% English 22% Scottish and 6% Welsh. Would that make me 72% English according to her, or not at all? It’s all a bit Slytherin.

JD Vance will discover the strength of free speech in UK when they arrive for the State visit. The UK will rightly welcome the offices of our strongest allies, but there will be peaceful yet robust protests on policy for him to appreciate.

I understand the choice to prioritise UK defence in the short-term, but reducing overseas development (even further than currently) will mean more of the world's people suffer, esp. following USAID, and will lead to greater crises (which will then become short-term issues). Gov't must reconsider.

Russia remains a nuclear superpower so does have leverage.

Trump will make more money out of lifting sanctions and building trade with Russia than he will from supporting a shattered Ukraine. He is a con artist with no morality.
