A welcome volte-face from individuals within the Labour ranks, even if it's merely being used in an attempt to grip the greasy pole.

If the BBC wants to get Trump to drop his case for reputational damage (that never happened), the deal is simple.
Award him a big, shiny Gold Peace Medal in recognition of his eight historic peace deals (that never happened)
Maybe line up King Charles to hang it on him, as one king to another.
