A touching moment



Starmer says US relationship is 'stronger than ever' as he meets Biden in White House - with the help of personalised gift

The meeting comes after Sir Keir held talks with other world leaders, including Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as he arrived in Washington DC for NATO's 75th anniversary summit.

To cement the two countries' relationship, Sir Keir gifted Mr Biden a personalised Arsenal shirt - printed with his surname and the number 46 on the back, a nod to his presidential number.



A touching moment. I hope Joe showed Keir how to do the blank stare and hold it for at least thirty seconds. Keir is bound to find a use for that in cabinet meetings, especially when Angela pipes up.

Joe claims to be Irish so shouldn't his present have been a Celtic or Hibernian shirt? Ah, but Starmer is a Londoner and knows nothing about "the regions".

dearieme - I think Starmer sees the regions as an untidy nuisance and would prefer them to go away and do their own thing.

"Don't worry about it, Mr. President. He's the limey guy that replaced Rashee Sanook. Just look over at the camera and say the soccer joke when I raise my hand. He's on our side, sort of, but it's no big deal..."
