The ABC has been barred from attending Donald Trump’s press conference near London this week after a clash between the broadcaster’s Americas editor, John Lyons, and the president in Washington DC over his business dealings.

The Australian broadcaster said its London bureau was informed by Downing Street that its accreditation to attend the press conference had been withdrawn for “logistical reasons”.
...
Lyons, who is reporting for Four Corners, drew the ire of the president on Tuesday when he asked Trump how much wealthier he had become since returning to the Oval Office for his second term in January.

Trump accused the reporter of “hurting Australia” with the line of questioning.

The Potemkin press conference will be worthless. Shame on the Downing Street apparatchiks who are purging the media allowed in from any chance of wrongthink.

2. The Brits are spineless feckless tools

This entire visit is a display of shameless feckless groveling and that even includes BBC coverage.
That is all

3. Looks like the Princess of Wales was spending a lot of time with Trump.

And actually looked like she was flirting with him..

I was shocked. She is quite polite, well mannered and nice to people.
But she does not put up with nonsense very well, and has given evil ones the cold shoulder in the past.

So it appears she took one for the team. UK must desperately want something from Trump.
