Say what you like about the British press, but I find it reassuring that they spend months ripping apart a Labour PM for properly declaring some glasses and football tickets, then all but ignore someone who wants to be PM when he tries to cover up a £5 million gift.
"Trump, the Mar-a-Lago golfer, is the only bull in the world who walks around with his own china shop. When a clown takes over the Palace, he doesn't become King. It's the Palace that becomes a circus"

“Dear Diary,
Super excited to say that I’ll be serving my Clacton constituents today by flying to Mar-a-Lago to meet Donald Trump and to undermine the UK government. God I love being a patriot!”
One of the big problems with our politics is that we have a media, including and even especially in Westminster, that treats politics largely as a soap opera. Given this seems unlikely to change, I wonder if they couldn’t at some point turn to the episode about the man they seem desperate to make Prime Minister, electoral law breaking, Epstein file mentions not least of the billionaire helping to get him in loads of money from wherever they can find it, and his close connection with so many others in the files.
