THE prime minister has confirmed that President Trump accidentally called him over the weekend for a tough discussion about US-UK relations.
Speaking from the Downing Street press briefing room, Keir Starmer shared that he engaged in difficult but constructive talks with the commander-in-chief’s rear end as it pressed against his phone and made muffled noises.
Starmer said: “I told President Trump in no uncertain terms that his tariff threats were completely wrong. And if my voice wasn’t vibrating weakly only into his fleshy white buttocks, I think it would have given him pause for thought.
“Our conversation was short, and I did the bulk of the talking for once. I reminded the President that Greenland’s fate lies with its people and the Kingdom of Denmark alone. Insofar as a burst of flatulence can be considered agreement, he agreed with me.
“At one point I thought he was concurring with my concern for ordinary working people, who will be the worst affected by tariffs. In hindsight I believe he had followed through.”
Political pundit Martin Bishop said: “Opponents mocking Starmer should recognise that it is provably as effective talking to Trump’s arse as to his face.
“This was our prime minister’s ‘peace in our time’ moment. Expect to be packed off to Nuuk with a rifle come June.”
