Subscribe now   Trump offers Starmer a lesson in leadership At an extraordinary hour-long press conference on Monday, Donald Trump told Sir Keir Starmer that he should slash taxes and stamp out illegal immigration if he is to beat Nigel Farage. The two leaders held talks at the US president’s Turnberry golf course, on the Scottish coast, before flying together to Aberdeen. But when journalists were invited to take pictures and ask questions, Mr Trump seized the opportunity to offer Sir Keir some advice. Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump in Turnberry, Scotland “You know, politics is pretty simple,” Mr Trump said. “I assume there’s a thing going on between you and Nigel, and it’s OK. It’s two parties. “But generally speaking, the one who cuts taxes the most, the one who gives you the lowest energy prices, the best kind of energy, the one that keeps you out of wars… a few basics. “Keep people safe and with money in their pockets and you win elections. “And in your case a big immigration component, because I know that your attitude has become strong on immigration, strong on the toughness of immigration.” The Prime Minister offered no reaction to the advice despite the fact that Labour is lagging behind Mr Farage’s Reform UK party in the polls. Starmer and Trump then addressed plans to end the war in Ukraine ➤ Rob Crilly Chief US Correspondent, at Trump Turnberry   From inside the Donald J Trump ballroom I could see Sir Keir Starmer’s expressionless face. Sir Keir was invisible for minutes at a time, looking like a prop at his own bilateral meeting. What was meant to be a quick photo-op turned into an impromptu press conference, as Mr Trump held court for an hour and 10 minutes – fielding questions on everything from Gaza and US interest rates to Jeffrey Epstein, the dead paedophile and sex trafficker. The Prime Minister looked like a prop at his own meeting Sir Keir kept his eyes dead ahead, like a passer-by trying to avoid eye contact with someone talking to themself. He pressed his hands together, brushed lint from his sleeves, crossed and uncrossed his legs as Mr Trump held forth. Somehow, Sir Keir and Mr Trump have developed a warm working relationship. But occasionally it sounded as if the president rather wished that there was a different person in the seat next to him.

It took six months from the initial idea to her finished article, but Abigail Buchanan’s detailed and revelatory study of Britain’s Plymouth Brethren, first published in March, was worth the wait. Gaining the trust of the Markham family and accompanying them to church, school and for family meals – and talking to an ex-member – yielded a rare insight into what may be Britain’s most secretive Christian group.
