SIR Keir Starmer should be prepared to have a Love Actually moment and stand up to Donald Trump, the leader of the Liberal Democrats has suggested.

Sir Ed Davey said the Prime Minister should take a more robust stance against the US president who has proven himself to be a "totally unreliable" ally.

In festive movie Love Actually, Hugh Grant's prime minister uses a press conference to stand up to Billy Bob Thornton's bullying US president.

"I say that with some sadness, because I've always believed in Britain's special relationship with the United States.
