Trade minister Chris Bryant has hit back at Donald Trump for saying Starmer cosying up to China is “dangerous“. He told BBC Breakfast:
“Yes, he is wrong, and I say this precisely because, apart from anything else, he himself said in his own statement that he is a friend with President Xi, and as I understand it, President Trump is going to China himself in April.”
Even the pack of Lobby journalists brought along to report on the trip are scratching their heads at what Britain has actually managed to get out of it. Xi Jinping is laughing…
Overheard by a co-conspirator in Parliament, minister Chris Bryant speaking to Tory MP Paul Holmes:
“You must be happy now that all the bastards are leaving.”
