The U.S. president is not popular in the United Kingdom, and Burnham has built his brand on the idea that he says it as he sees it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governing Labour Party views his plainspoken image as a much better way to connect with disenchanted voters, compared with Sir <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/keir-starmer\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"3660\">Keir Starmer\u2019s<\/a> robotic, lawyerly approach. So it would have been no surprise to see Burnham, as mayor of Manchester, a city in northern England, pander to his domestic base by letting rip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, his comments have been rooted in context. While not always complimentary, he has been careful to describe Trump as part of a bigger ecosystem, the product of our times and of disillusioned, disenfranchised voters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-26\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024, Burnham wrote in a book he co-authored: \u201cWhether we like it or not, Donald Trump and\u00a0Nigel Farage have been effective\u00a0in connecting with people who feel politicians have neglected the place where they live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Had he always been preparing for this moment, calculating that one day he might have to work with the American president?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find out, <em>Secrets<\/em> spoke with Ben Judah, who was a special adviser to Lammy until earlier this year. He said Burnham had been selling Manchester on the world stage for years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTravelling in the Gulf, meeting their leadership with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3795066\/jd-vance-david-lammy-uk-deputy-prime-minister\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3795066\/jd-vance-david-lammy-uk-deputy-prime-minister\/\">David Lammy<\/a> when he was Foreign Secretary I was struck how warmly they felt towards him and Manchester, a place where the UAE and Qatar in particular have sunk billions,\u201d Judah said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s already an experienced economic diplomat. Expect that to inform his approach to Trump and all other tricky partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are already signs that Burnham has a strategy for dealing with Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the weekend, the incoming PM\u2019s team briefed that he was ready to issue new drilling licenses for oil and gas in the North Sea. The issue is controversial in Britain but popular with one important person: Trump, who repeatedly bashed Starmer for refusing new licenses. And on Sunday, he posted that residents of Aberdeen, Scotland\u2019s oil capital, will be \u201cdancing in the streets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the new PM had another trick up his sleeve. He telephoned the president within an hour of taking office, <em>Secrets <\/em>is told, and invited the president to Manchester for the G20 summit next year, ensuring what could be their first meeting will be on his home turf. Smart.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-russell-fry-faces-questions-about-link-to-pedophile\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Russell Fry faces questions about link to pedophile<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC) is going to need new consultants to work with his campaign after <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4655087\/russell-fry-announces-campaign-lindsey-graham-senate-seat\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4655087\/russell-fry-announces-campaign-lindsey-graham-senate-seat\/\">announcing that he is running<\/a> to replace the late Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/lindsey-graham\/\">Lindsey Graham<\/a> (R-SC) in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he can expect questions about his relationship with former state Rep. RJ May, who was <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-sc\/pr\/former-sc-lawmaker-sentenced-federal-prison-distributing-child-sexual-abuse-material\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-sc\/pr\/former-sc-lawmaker-sentenced-federal-prison-distributing-child-sexual-abuse-material\">sentenced to more than 17 years<\/a> in federal prison in January after distributing hundreds of images of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anti-sex-trafficking-advocates-slam-twitter-on-heels-of-bombshell-lawsuit-from-teen-victim\/\" title=\"Anti-Sex Trafficking Advocates Slam Twitter On Heels Of Bombshell Lawsuit From Teen Victim\">child sex abuse material<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The videos included toddlers depicted in physical pain and extreme and humiliating sexual abuse, according to the Department of Justice. At the sentencing, Judge Cameron McGowan Currie noted that the sentence was particularly lengthy because May\u2019s content was the most severe the court had seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does this have to do with Fry? His campaign paid almost $200,000 from October 2021 to September 2023 to May\u2019s firm, Ivory Tusk Consulting, for fundraising, campaign, marketing, and direct mail services, according to Federal Election Commission filings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The filings show that Fry was the firm\u2019s only federal client. Yet oddly, the congressman has yet to publicly condemn or even comment on the fact that his associate turned out to be a pedophile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After this newsletter was published, a spokesman for the Fry campaign responded to questions about May, saying: \u201cHe worked for a number of Republican officials all around the state, including Russell Fry before he got elected to Congress. He was then let go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats won\u2019t know which way to turn with their attack ads, given that one of those officials was Rep. Ralph Norman, who also announced he was running for Graham\u2019s Senate seat at the weekend.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-caption-of-the-day\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caption of the day<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It cannot have been the outcome that Trump wanted. He threatened to cut trade and tourism to Spain, calling the country a \u201cterrible partner\u201d due to its low defense spending and refusal to allow U.S. military bases on its soil to be used for strikes on Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there he was, handing out gold medals to the nation\u2019s victorious soccer players after their impressive World Cup victory over Argentina\u2019s cheats and thugs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He managed to make the most of it. After delivering the trophy to the team\u2019s captain, Trump opted not to take the short route off the podium, walking past the Spanish players to take up a place in the front row for the photographs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president of FIFA took his cue to hurry across the stage in an effort to coax Trump out of the way. The Guardian <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Fauxmoi\/comments\/1v1i7m5\/the_guardian_captions_photo_gianni_infantino\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Fauxmoi\/comments\/1v1i7m5\/the_guardian_captions_photo_gianni_infantino\/\">captioned its photo<\/a> in fine style: \u201cGianni Infantino carefully explains to Donald Trump that he is not part of the Spanish national team.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-quote-of-the-day\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quote of the day<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Secrets<\/em> imagines that Shakira must be devastated.
