Not at all, Andrew.

I'm advocating sensible diplomacy by the UK toward the USA with the aim of protecting the special relationship (which has important implications for trade). This could have been achieved had Starmer simply not disallowed the USA to use our bases.

Reprisal from Trump, which we don't need, can be expected.
