>> forward slash alerts. >> forward slash alerts. >> very good morning. 936 this is britain's newsroom live across the uk. with me bev turner and andrew pierce. >> so it's called a special relationship. but could it potentially now be at risk. that's our relationship with america because david lammy, london mayor sadiq khan and many members of the cabinet in the past have been incredibly rude and critical about donald trump, not to mention all those labour activists who, of course , went activists who, of course, went to america to campaign for harris. >> obviously confident that she was going to win. >> so prime minster's questions yesterday. it was a gift for kemi badenoch. her first one, and she took to task. sir keir starmer over the foreign secretary, in particular his negative comments about donald trump in 2018. >> did the foreign secretary take that opportunity to apologise for making derogatory and scatological references, including, and i quote, trump is not only a woman hating, neo nazi sympathising sociopath, he is also a profound threat to the international order. >> so is david lammy, the to man

maintain the relationship with the us, or should we be worried about a backlash from trump? well, we're joined now by former labour special adviser paul richards. good morning paul. good morning. good morning. right . where does this leave right. where does this leave this special relationship? there is a huge amount of baggage, which we either expect donald trump to ignore or forgive . trump to ignore or forgive. >> well, to be honest, i think he'll ignore it because so many people have said so many derogatory things about him over the years. if he if he took it to all heart and snubbed everybody who said something negative, he wouldn't be talking to anybody at all, not least , of to anybody at all, not least, of course, his own vice president elected yesterday as well, who said some horrific things about his president in recent times. so i do think that it's embarrassing for labour, but it's not a sort of, you know, deal breaker because the special relationship transcends it. and of course, our relationship is going to be based on common themes like defence and economic security and so on, so that

those things will be the meat of the relationship between us and the relationship between us and the us. not a few comments on twitter if lammy stuff was student politics though. >> badenoch was right, wasn't she ? paul saying if trump comes she? paul saying if trump comes to the uk, i'll be protesting on the streets. he's a racist, he's klu klux klan nazi sympathiser. i mean, it's student politics. it's not really what you'd expect from a man who's six years later is our diplomat in chief on the world stage? >> well, he's the foreign secretary now. and obviously he wouldn't tweet like that in the current circumstance . and, you current circumstance. and, you know, people do say stupid things on twitter. don't they? unfortunately. i mean, more concerning, i think to the uk government right now is the threat of tariffs because the threat of tariffs because the threat of tariffs because the threat of 10 or 20% tariff on british goods is going to have a huge impact on british jobs and on the british economy. and on the labour government's plans for growth. so i think top of the list is probably defence in ukraine, but second on the list has to be whether or not trump's economic plans are going to

damage us here in the uk. >> also, i would have thought people now would be questioning even more. perhaps the dash to net zero people in this country, because donald trump is going to start drilling for oil more, more fracking, that whole eco push
