Trump still hasn’t spoken to Whatsit



Trump still hasn’t spoken to Starmer after inauguration


Donald Trump still has not spoken to Sir Keir Starmer four days after his inauguration.

Downing Street confirmed on Friday that the Prime Minister had not spoken to the new US president since he was sworn in on Monday.

Joe Biden, Mr Trump’s predecessor, spoke to Boris Johnson three days after the inauguration, meaning Sir Keir has now been waiting longer for an equivalent call.



Possibly Trump is surprised that Starmer is still there but has decided to wait for a more suitable spare to take his place. Of course Trump may not know this, but Labour doesn't have many suitable spares.

DJT and Starmer, plus with Vlad ... interesting times.

"Has he rung yet?"

"Not yet, Prime Minister. We'll let you know as soon as his people contact us. As we said earlier, if we hear that he's rung Estonia first, then we might give them a little ring to hurry things on. Now if you'll take my advice, Sir, I'd go back to bed and stop worrying about it."

James - it is interesting, but a pity DJT only has four years to achieve something.

Sam -
"Has he rung yet?"

"Yes Sir, but he only left a message to say his phone doesn't work so he'll try again when it has been repaired - oh, and don't call him back until then."

dearieme - he later claimed to have said "Oh ink!", an old lawyer's expletive.

I guess Trump doesn't want to risk catching Starmer cooties.

DJ - who would? Somehow they would be legally entitled to stay.
