SKIDS UNDER TEEN RIGHTS

Should Britain’s PM be cosy with such a threatenin­g leader?

SICK of that “country which works for everyone” mantra? antra?

Well, Cabinet Office minister Chris Skidmore brings us “a democracy which works for everyone”.

He adds: “It’s important young people e EUROPEAN Council president Donald Tusk says America now poses one of the biggest threats to the EU’s existence since its foundation as the EEC in 1957.

Not as much of a threat, though, as 1957 posed to America’s existence.

That was the year a live hydrogen bomb bounced out of a butter-fingered B-36 bomber over New Mexico. This was a bit of a boo-boo.

The explosive power of the 10 megaton monster was equivalent to 625 Hiroshimas and would have vaporised a sizeable portion of Donald Trump’s new kingdom.

Luckily the nuclear part didn’t go off and the only casualty on that spring day was the cow it landed on. Such a massive mistake warranted a massive cover-up. Nuclear errors are easy to hide. A political mess like Trump’s trip to the UK less so, as Theresa May is discoverin­g.

The decisions PMs take are rarely clear choices between right or wrong. They are more usually the dilemma of which bad option on offer is worse.

Sleazebag

are engagedg in the democratic process.”proc Including the UK’s 1.5 mmillion 16 and 17-yearolds? Er, no. Chris says: “The Government­Gov has no plans to lowerl the voting age.” Not really a democracy which works for everyone then, eh Skidders?
