Donald Trump and Keir Starmer agree to meet ‘soon’ in 45-minute phone call
The Guardian ^ | Sun 26 Jan 2025 | Eleni Courea

President Donald Trump and the prime minister, Keir Starmer, have spoken over the phone and agreed to “meet soon”.

The two leaders spoke for 45 minutes on Sunday in their first call since Trump’s inauguration. According to Downing Street’s readout of the call, they discussed trade and the economy and security in the Middle East.

Trump began by sending his condolences to the prime minister after the death of his brother Nick, who had cancer and had died on Boxing Day. Starmer thanked Trump “for his kind words and congratulated him on his inauguration,” Downing Street said.

“The Prime Minister paid tribute to President Trump’s role in securing the landmark ceasefire and hostages deal in Gaza. The president welcomed the release of Emily Damari and sent his best wishes to her family. They discussed the importance of working together for security in the Middle East.

“The two leaders stressed the importance of the close and warm ties between the UK and the US, and the President spoke of his respect and affection for the royal family. They agreed to meet soon and looked forward to further discussions then.”

Just the "45" minutes. Didn't know a butt kicking would take quite that long.

Trump needs to tell Starmer to Gitmo’ his “groomers” or go home.

QED.

Donaldus Maximus is moving so fast the Marxist ‘RATS and their Left wing media allies can’t get out the anti-American / anti-Trump horsesh*t fast enough.

As an aside, I’m impressed that The Guardian is so open about its anti-Trump stance:

“ Why you can rely on the Guardian not to bow to Trump – or anyone”
….
“ With the new administration boasting about its desire to punish journalists, and Trump and his allies already pursuing lawsuits against newspapers whose stories they don’t like, it has never been more urgent, or more perilous, to pursue fair, accurate reporting.”

I don’t recall this wording in their begging for cash during SloJo’s tenure.

It's TRUE.
 
Tuned into one of the local news broadcasts the other night and they had a little "Just In" box in the upper left hand corner of the screen - the news reader went through a list of things in quick secession, spending less than about 10 seconds on each item, then it was on to the weather. Even so the "Just In" was rather misleading since it was already hours old by the time they presented it. Their 'breaking' news was already broken. I was laughing out loud at the thing. It was comical.

Starmer is much worse than Trudeau. He’s going to bat for rape gangs by default. He’s a disgusting pos globalist.

5 minute meeting, then he’s off to drop in for Tea with the Windsors and then up to Scotland to do some golfing at his holiday home in Turnberry...

Scotland would be very hardcore Dem. They’re extremely left wing in Scotland.

And the Irish are even more anti-American.

England is were probably the most pro-Trump and pro-American Brits live.
