ICYMI: Kim Darroch (former Ambassador to the US) makes the simple but powerful diplomatic point, that looking at Trump's record in office, he respects strong leaders not those that seek to accommodate him....

Darroch's lesson for Keir Starmer is stick to positions on international & trade affairs, don't seek to accommodate Tump's demands... as all he will then do is demand more.

Simple advice but right on the button.

“Keir Starmer’s sycophantic words of congratulation to Donald Trump are among the most dispiriting things I have read this morning. “Shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise”? This is either serious delusion or utter hypocrisy. He should be ashamed”
