A Foreign Office spokesman at that time had denied that there were any plans for a ministerial meeting, claiming no date had been set for a UK-Caricom meeting. Imagine my surprise then to come across a press release on 4th April - issued not by the Foreign Office but by No 10 - that Sir Keir had welcomed Prime Minister Mia Mottley of Barbados to Downing Street that morning.

Will there be a vigil for the NHS, Mr Lammy, and will you be attending?
Be in no doubt. A trade deal with Donald Trump will mean US corporations get to privatise and dismantle our NHS one bed at a time. #TrumpProtest https://t.co/Y5UaAHXCtO
