Lying about Jeremy Corbyn is a pathology https://t.co/5UbZp6zjZo

Very good point here from Denis Healey’s former chief of staff Richard Heller.

Simple question: many British firms trying to break into American market could use boost from visit by their Prime Minister. Why does Starmer use his limited time in US on parade for an American firm seeking more taxpayer money from the British public sector? What benefit to UK?
