I that Kirk chap - t's a good distraction for trump, his fans won't be so focused on his failure to protect Qatar (staunch US ally) from Israel and the Epstein stuff.

Not sure which of the two threads to put this in, but listening to Starmer and Trump talk in their press conference, the difference in delivery is insane.

Trump blocking Sadiq Khan from attending the state banquet put a big smile on my face.

Why is that?

He's a horrible tit.

Watching the mayoral question time he is a hateful human being. I've dealt with arseholes who act like that in meetings and it makes me want to pack an emergency tiger to throw for when it gets too much

Plus a friend is a Hackney Cab driver and he appears to be hated by all Taxi drivers. As we all know Taxi drivers know the down low so I trust his opinion.

Dave!

That's quite well done

Dave!

Irrespective of your personal feelings towards him, you don't think it unpalatable and troublesome that the goverment let a foreign head of state dictate terms for an event hosted in and by Britain? And Trump is an even bigger tit/threat/numpty/bumpkin/jebend/insult of your choosing.

They've rolled over and conceded home ground to placate someone powerful without a fight. Next time it will be even harder to say no.

He tried to do exactly that to Trump though.

Yes, but as he's a UK politician, representing this country that's a fair challenge to ask if we want them visiting. I'd expect the same if it was Putin or Kim Jong Un (or the like) coming for a visit. You could argue that he should leave international affairs to government, but he's allowed to voice his opinion.

Sounds like the papers stirring up shit as normal to me, has anyone confirmed if Khan was going to be invited or would even be interested in attending even if asked?

The actual source for this is Trump. He's the one who claims to have prevented Khan from being there - but given there's literally a decade of quite justified anger, in public, from Khan about Trumps open Islamophobia and racism, if an invite were extended, I dunno who'd think it'd be Trump who'd be doing the snubbing.

"Hey Sadiq, you want to come to this dinner honouring that guy you think is a cunt?"

Khan has a long history of giving Trump two fingers for, when you get down to brass tacks, being a stupid racist twat.

Sir Sadiq did not attend the state banquet and the BBC understands he did not seek or expect an invitation.

Trumps a massive fucking liar, remember? If it's sunny outside, he'd claim he told the rain not to turn up if he thought it get him the vote and support of those who don't understand how weather works.

Any paper who thinks what Trump said is the real story is one you probably shouldn't be reading.

Exactly - standard bullshit from Trump that the papers who want to stir the shit have reported.

It's ok, Ant Middleton will be the next Mayor.

I'm buying a yellow American cab to get around safely
