Another academic year, another slew of essays with the word 'liberalist' ....

Good to speak with President-elect @realDonaldTrump to congratulate him on his historic victory. I look forward to working together.

From defence and security to growth and prosperity, the relationship between the UK and US is incredibly strong and will continue to thrive for many years to come.
