KS started off inviting the BBC to ask questions. No surprise there! He then asked DT who he would like to talk to and he said ”Bev Turner, GB News.” That was a great moment. 👏👏

Tactically excellent move, very Starmer.

He should have told his face that then! 🤣🤣

*Primrose, it reminds me of my frown, which isnt cross (mostly) but when I'm concentrating. Handy tho, with white hair and the 'headmistress' look on occasion 🤣.

I think that what Starmer is doing when he looks worried - concentrating.

Here's a fairly stand one of Streamer the Telegraph, iirc, and one vert interesting one, Starmer speaking to trump in February. Starmer most clearly has the ability to "engage" Trump.

I've cropped the image so you can see the faces close up but I havent messed with the "making orange" facilities.

Ooo, nice typo - Streamer not Starmer 🤓

MayBee if I could choose a PM - from anywhere, anybody - it would be Danny Kruger by a country mile.

You mean this Danny Kruger?

“Kruger was selected as the Conservative candidate for Sedgefield at the 2005 general election, challenging Labour prime minister Tony Blair.[15][16] He was forced to drop out of the contest, however, after The Guardian quoted him stating that the party had planned "to introduce a period of creative destruction in the public services".
I can only assume you’re joking ?

As a member of the British public proud to call him out:

Childish and insulting.

Tough.

Says more about you than him.

Interestingly Danny Kruger’s mother is Prue Leith.

Interestingly Danny Kruger’s mother is Prue Leith.

Even more interestingly, he has an adopted sister who is Cambodian.
His parents are South African.

A pleasant change to see Melania Trump looking relaxed and happy with all the little squirrels!

Yes, she seemed to be enjoying herself and joining in on the craft table!

Infantile

Is the comment referring to the photograph Wyllow thought was so amusing but was actually just vulgar?

Sorry, but I just can’t listen to trump or watch him. The way that other world leaders have to cozy up to him and hopefully not upset him is appalling. He is so thin-skinned and won’t hear any criticism, Awful man who seems to be wrecking his country. He doesn’t have a shred of decency nor a diplomatic bone in his body.

Trumps comments about Sadiq Khan were infantile

Have you listened to what Sadiq Khan has been saying about POTUS?

So disrespectful, he is Mayor of London not Mayor of UK…

I do agree with everything written above about Trump, but unfortunately we have to live with him for a few years, and I don’t think it is very clever to make an enemy of America, particularly at present given the geo-political facts with Putin breathing down our necks.

I also think that Trump is making things a lot worse for a lot of people. And frankly abhors everything that he stands for.

What a complicated world we live in.

Roll on 2029! 🤞🤞

One has to look beyond Mr Trump to his immensely important role as President. It makes no sense to antagonise the US and I think the government's approach to him and his role is the right one. The noisy protesters achieve nothing.

Sadiq Khan IS infantile though. Remember him gloating and enjoying the Trump balloon floating over London but did not allow the equally funny one of him to fly! khan can dish it out but not take it.

“khan is among the worst Mayors in the world” says Trump and that is absolutely true! Crime rates and knife crimes have soared and he is doing whatsoever to improve them.

I just love the way he was confined within the walls of Windsor 😂. Even a jolly little ride in the golden carriage was within the grounds. Then in his 'speech' (babble) he stated that he was the only US president to have been invited to the UK not once but twice and hoped he would be the last one. Jeez, that man is absolutely nuts.

Why? What particularly appeals to you about this individual?

From what I saw, Camilla is wearing the Belgian sapphire tiara, and The Princess is wearing Queen Mary’s lovers knot tiara, which is her favourite. I’m a tiara spotter, I’m on the look out for them wearing different ones, but sadly not this time.

Do you know this weighty tome on tiaras, Casdon?

A charity shop find for a tenner, it's glorious!
Lots of glossy pics, details and history.

Did you get to the V&A Tiara exhibition some years ago? It was spectacular, this book accompanied it. I do like Geoffrey Mann.
Sorry off topic!

Munn*

The Geoffrey Mann book was on EBay recently for £36.99 so a tenner was a bargain.

Sadly, I hadn't been aware of the exhibition J52.
Thank you for pointing it out!
But the book is glorious - can anyone undercut £10😉
