It is November 2024, and Donald Trump has – once again – been elected President of the United States of America.

The Prime Minister and foreign secretary have little choice but to meet this news with positivity – there is not much diplomatic breathing room, and the UK will need all of it. Those of us able to speak freely should be direct: this is a result which will have devastating consequences for global human rights, democracy, and climate change. It is OK to grieve and feel angry.
