Britain & the US: Scott Lucas on the Prime Minister's Trip to Washington

I chatted with BBC Radio Wales today about Prime Minister David Cameron's talks in the US this week. Asked if the visit was significant, my answer? "Not much."

[This conversation took place before Cameron's gaffe this afternoon in which he said that Britain was the "junior partner" in the World War II fight against the Germans "in 1940".]

The discussion starts about the 1:49:30 mark.

A view from the 'other side'... Obama must wish he were Cameron. You reach out and get things done.

Well, as the UK is the only member of the "senior/junior"partnership undertaking a wide-ranging parliamentary inquiry into how it got into the Iraq war and whether this was a good idea, I guess he just had Iraq a bit too much on the brain at the moment ;-).
