Big baller move. Easy for him to do so though: very little risked currently. Starmer has a harder path

So, this actually happened when Swinney was visiting our local candidate's house. I met her recently and she seems like a nice lass. Wild to think she was in her kitchen having a coffee with the first minister when Trump personally calls.

He was able to legit turn him down as the date would be right in the middle of an election campaign, so it would be insane to fuck off to the US at that point, but I suspect he was glad of the excuse.
