That is Donald Trump on that small town somewhere in the north of England from where Andy Burnham was the mayor.
And also on Keir Starmer and how he, Donald Trump, could have saved his premiership if only he'd been listened to.
It's John.
It's Maylis.
It's Lewis.
And Donald Trump can never resist offering an opinion.
Whether he is well informed on what he's opining about or not is always an open question.
But you can be sure that diplomats in London, American diplomats in London, will be sending cables back to Washington full of detail about Andy Burnham, his life, his predispositions, his attitudes on the Transatlantic Alliance.
And probably...
Same material going this other direction from Washington to London about the Trump administration, what to do, what not to do.
And frankly, what to do and what not to do is always impossible to know because Donald Trump will decide on a whim what he's going to say.
And there is nothing that any amount of planning can do that will stop that.
And, you know, the idea that Keir Starmer was solely brought down because we hadn't stopped, we hadn't started drilling for North Sea oil is just ridiculous.
I mean, there are a whole series of other reasons that led to it.
But, you know, Donald Trump, as ever, wants to take a victory lap.
And Andy Burnham won't find it any easier than Keir Starmer did.
at the forefront of any policy that he's going to talk about when he when he starts to govern of course but then you get events that come up around the world which you have to respond to and that you have to deal with and that much as you would like to remain domestically focused you know being prime minister has a habit of kind of throwing up stuff around the world and the american president even if donald trump has lost the house of representatives in november
The president of the United States still makes foreign policy, you know, largely unaffected by what is happening in Congress and therefore is still a powerful player.
So I think from that point of view and, you know, Andy Burnham in the previous government jobs he's done hasn't been involved in the national security space to any meaningful extent.
He's obviously been mayor of Manchester, which would mean he's not part of, you know, the sort of intelligence briefings and all the rest of it.
