I KNEW he would comment on Theresa May's cabinet crisis. This should be fun. It's not a full state visit but will involve meeting the Queen and *I think* a banquet at Windsor Castle(?) as well as a trip to his golf course in Aberdeenshire.

So today the President landed in Britain.

Tonight he attended a dinner at Blenheim Palace, seat of the Dukedom of Marlborough, where he will be given a tour by the 12th Duke of Marlborough. A very symbolic place too as Sir Winston Churchill, who the President greatly admires, was born at the Palace.

His exclusive interview with The Sun newspaper tonight has plunged a knife into the PM over her Chequers plan.

WORLD EXCL: Donald Trump warns Theresa May her soft Brexit blueprint will "kill" any future trade deal with the US. Full @POTUS interview with @TheSun from 11pm.

And below are some pictures from Blenheim Palace tonight.

Apparently Farage directed President Trump to take this line on the Chequers proposals.

Worth bearing in mind too that Downing Street had made it a condition of this trip when organising with the White House a few months ago that Trump not meet Farage when in Britain.

Brillo accuses @Nigel_Farage of winding up Team Trump to take the line he is taking, Nigel deflects but does not deny. My understanding is that Brillo is completely on the money.

Tom, it is not about you. Some of us have been aware of these channels, and seen them in action in real-time, before your interview. https://t.co/GtAOe2rDLx

And BTW I was sceptical.

"You have also been winding up Team Trump haven't you?" @afneil

[lawrawrrr]

The protest arrives at Trafalgar Square tonight as I arrive at Trafalgar Square (unrelated..)

yaaaaaay lots of angry people to push through

Her Majesty met the US President today at Windsor Castle. Apparently he's been really eager to meet her for a long time given his mother, from the Highlands, was an avid royalist. He's the 13th American President of the Queen's reign (circa 1952).

He now travels tonight to Aberdeenshire to his Turnberry Golf Resort.

apparently he completely disrespected "protocol" (I guess that's the word)
you must be having a bit of a meltdown undertaker

Does Melania ever not look like a hostage

tbh if there was any good in what he said it was all made null and void by his usual idiotic self. Telling May to "sue" the EU, calling them a definite enemy (while stating that Russia was only a potential foe), and using our money to go play golf - none of this makes him look good in anyone's eyes

@FlyingJesus;

He's right in my eyes on Russia and the EU (Germany). The continent has always been a struggle between the two powerful land powers of Prussia/Germany and Russia. On the one hand we have a technocratic, anti-nation 'liberal' order of the EU and on the other we have nationalistic, pro-sovereignty, christian, strong Russia and now America with the changing foreign policy under President Trump. He's consigning the post-war order to the garbage.

As Enoch Powell said, Britain's interests when it comes to Europe have nearly always been correlated with Russia against Germany. And it is exactly the same today. Our European policy should be a US-UK-Russia axis against the EU and specifically Germany.
