At last night's banquet at Buckingham Palace the special relationship was gilded in pageantry, but today the cracks may quickly reappear, as a divisive president continues to tread, not too carefully, into fragile British politics.
Stephen Doughty, Labour MP for Cardiff South and Penarth summed up the mood of many opposition MPs. He told Sky News:"The Prime minister should never have offered this to President Trump. Mr Trump says the UK needs to slip its EU"shackles" for a US trade deal, but with Britain in a state of flux over Brexit it's hard to see where any progress can be made.
"Haven't seen any protests yet, but I'm sure the Fake News will be working hard to find them. Great love all around.Controversially, the US ambassador Woody Johnson indicated the US will want access to the NHS business in any post-Brexit trade deal.This adds to concerns that the UK may be obliged to accept chlorinated poultry as part of any trade deal. But business leaders believe progress can be made.
After meeting business leaders the president will visit 10 Downing Street for Lunch. Mrs May is set to raise the issue of climate change. A spokesman said"As the prime minister has said previously, we were disappointed by the US decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement in 2017 and continue to hope they will return."
Yes, a holiday for almost his entire family paid for by US taxpayers.
We don't need the tango baboon to tell us her Majesty is fantastic. His endorsement is worthless as he is not fit to lick the Royal water closet
