British diplomats are once again smoothing the way for bilateral talks between Washington and London, as yet another Prime Minister with a history of decrying President Donald Trump has to eat his words and make nice.

The mainstream media have spent pretty much every moment since Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president of the United States portraying him as an evil, cruel, empathy-free tyrant who couldn’t manage a kind word for anyone outside his own family. Joe Biden practically built his entire 2020 campaign on that same premise, insisting that the election came down to character, and that Trump simply didn’t have it.

Donald Trump’s lawyers will try to force the head of BBC News to testify as part of the US president’s $10bn (£7.5bn) defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster.
Jonathan Munro, the interim chief executive of BBC News and Current Affairs, will be deposed about claims the programme defamed the US president by misleadingly editing together sections of a speech the US president made before the Jan 6 riots.
If Mr Munro does not cooperate voluntarily, Mr Trump’s lawyers could instead ask the US court to issue a formal request from the High Court in London, The Telegraph understands.
Tim Davie, the former director general who resigned over the scandal, is also expected to be asked to testify.
