It’s likely the Starmer will resign but not because of anything Trump said. We’re past the point where Trump’s utterances should automatically be considered newsworthy.

Neither the man nor the statement are honourable. This is a mealy mouthed retraction from President Bone Spurs, probably after it was pointed out to him that he’d offended the Royal Family. No mention of the service personnel from other countries that he’d insulted.

Text reads: “I am not a toy. I am not a Christmas present. I am an invisible, time-altering, light-bending, super-strong gravity trap capable of releasing more energy than a billion Suns combined. Please think hard before gifting a black hole this Christmas.” The background image shows an artist’s concept of a black hole.

I never liked the phrase anyway but can we now stop referring to the US President as “leader of the free world”?

Remind me why, with everything that’s happening in the world, it’s essential to close off the option of the UK rejoining the EU.
