## Resource

James Roscoe, Britains second-highest ranking diplomat in Washington, has abruptly left his position, following a series of diplomatic hiccups for the UK in the US. His departure comes amidst public disagreements with President Trump and Prime Minister Starmer over the Iran war, and after leaked comments from his replacement, Christian Turner, questioning the US political system and suggesting Israel as Americas only special relationship. Roscoes sudden exit, without explanation, adds to the challenges faced by British diplomats in the US. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
