Vance did not hold back and a slightly alarmed looking Sir Keir felt the need to jump in to remind everyone that Britain “has had free speech for hundreds of years… and will continue to have free speech for hundreds of years.” It was not exactly the meltdown in the Oval Office that followed 24 hours later when Vance publicly launched an attack on Ukraine’s President Zelensky but it was a noticeable awkward moment in an atmosphere of mutual back slapping and bon a vie. He says what Trump doesn’t want to say personally.” This explains why Trump did not want to ruin the moment with the letter from the King and praising Starmer’s “wonderful, beautiful wife” with a sour note on free speech and social media, instead asking his vice president to do his dirty work. The aggressive language used by Mr Vance and in briefings represents President Trump’s view of Sir Keir and the UK government much more than his praise for “special man” prime minister with his “lovely accent” - words nobody has ever thought let alone said about the PM’s voice.
