Lammy should in now way be engaging in such social media spats.

He's the foreign secretary, and will have to form relations with America, irrespective of who is in the Whitehouse. 

The post was from 2019

Not that that makes it a smart thing to post, but he's not currently engaging in Twitterspats

Regardless of when it was he has said a lot of stuff that’s not going to age well. If Trump Is to get in then come here on a visit, then that clown Lammy is going to look a right knob (more than usual) going off past tweets

It was 2019- there is a date on it.

Irrelevant though- for an educated politician, with eyes on being a senior minister in government in the future, he should know better. Such behaviour can always come back to haunt a person, as Dion Charles found out.

MPs should stay off it.

Three of our last 4 Tory PMs have publically criticised Trump. Sunak wouldn’t confirm he would work with him. Johnson famously launched into him and said he wasn’t welcome in London in 2015 and May has frequently criticised him, including when she was PM.

The only person looking forward to Trump winning is Putin.

I don't disagree

But it's not something he's currently engaging in

And the 10s of millions voting for him?

Well obviously, I meant external political leader types….whether they say so or not.

Imagine being a Ukrainian fighting for your country and seeing the events last night. Imagine how absolutely sick in the stomach they must feel? Trump handed the presidency and their country about to be handed on a plate to Putin.

You think Trump isn’t going to do that? Really?

Huge package of support sent- after some initial blocking by Republicans.

If it was such a red line, they wouldn't have agreed. 

Of course his rhetoric hasn't been great on the subject, but that's his nature. Controversial, but ebullient.

Assuming he gets the gig, then what actually happens may well be very different. 

Time will tell.

Apparently the shooter is Republican but might have only registered to vote against Trump in the party elections 

Surprised to see so many conspiracy theory nutjobs reasoning that this was all faked. Not sure if this might actually play out badly for the Trumpinator.

Piffle. Personal hygiene is what I take seriously. Unlike you from what I hear.

Fair enough pal. We've all been there.

This is the kind of thing that happens when you turn an election into a borderline civil war whilst allowing your citizens to run around with guns. America desperately needs to sort it's act out.

Glad it wasn't even more serious. Imagine the conspiracy theory nutjobs if Trump had lost his life? They would be taking sides and shooting each other by now. 

Exactly. Three inches to the right and the likes of JOL would have what they wanted in the instant but what would have followed would likely have been truly horrendous.

Wishful thinking my friend. There is only one way the needle is moving after this near miss.

The reason Bidens speech writers were quick to go into damage limitation mode.

Crikey.

This is the second very odd personal attack/insult I've just read from you in the last few minutes. Are you OK?

That comment implies he’s been asking people who know you about your hygiene.

I suspect he hasn’t done that.

So he’s just calling you smelly. So just laugh at the brilliant joke, be humbled, and move on.

I'd also assumed the latter ... but for a bloke of his age to be calling someone smelly is an odd thing to do. Hence me asking if he was OK. 

Twice now I've witnessed old men suddenly start saying out of character childish things and in both cases it's been due to an incurable brain condition. Very sad in both cases.

Hopefully Bolty has simply asked someone who knows me if I have BO and they have said yes.

Dazbob stinks. Pass it on.
