There are countless reasons to criticise a British prime minister. Perhaps he or she accidentally took the country out of the European Union, or held drunken parties during a national lockdown, or left D-Day commemorations early to attend a pre-recorded interview. Having dinner with Donald Trump is not one of them.
Despite the excitement on the political left over the elevation of Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee, this US presidential election is essentially a coin toss. Trump's candidacy must be taken both literally and seriously.It is the job of the prime minister to build a strong and personal relationship with the United States.
