Prof Scott Lucas just dropped the smartest advice Andy Burnham has received on dealing with Donald Trump.
This is the playbook the new UK Prime Minister needs right now.
In this sharp analysis, American politics expert Professor Scott Lucas breaks down exactly how Andy Burnham should approach the most unpredictable US President in living memory. Lucas explains the psychology, the leverage points, and the practical moves that can protect the UK’s interests without falling into the classic “poodle or confrontation” trap.
You’ll hear why pure flattery fails, how to use Trump’s ego against itself, the real weight of North Sea energy and trade talks, and the quiet power of meeting Trump on home turf in Manchester. Lucas also flags the early warning signs that could turn a workable relationship into another Starmer-style breakdown.
This is essential viewing for anyone following UK-US relations, Labour’s new leadership, or the next chapter of the special relationship under Trump 2.0.
