Looks like finally the penny may be dropping in 10 Downing St, as the Tangerine Tyrant offers yet one more insult... its been clear to many for a while now that any supposed 'special relationship' was holed beneath the waterline by the current US administration.

Keir Starmer may be pivoting towards Europe, but sadly if this is seen as his second choice having been rebuffed by the US, the EU is likely to be happy to play hard ball on rapprochement.

Was if gigantic potential profits?

Was that the reason?
