She’s a good negotiaor? Really? She was completely unsuccessful in getting her proposals approved by Parliament and this has resulted in her decision to resign.
What difference does it make that she can negotiate with the EU if she can’t get her own party to agree to the results of her negotiations.
Irish funeral firm rents out four limousines to Trump for $1m
Cars could be used for short jaunt to Doonbeg at a cost of $116,879 per mile – or not at all Irish funeral firm rents out four limousines to Trump for $1m | Ireland | The Guardian They are, by all accounts, wheels to die for. JP Ward & Sons, an Irish funeral services home, rents out its fleet of Mercedes E-Class limousines not just to mourners but to anyone who wants to travel in style.
A killer price tag has not deterred the latest customer: the White House. It is so keen to use the vehicles for Donald Trump’s two-day visit to Ireland that it is spending nearly $1m (£788,000) of US taxpayers’ money to rent them.
The Trump administration paid the family-owned firm based in Bray, County Wicklow, $935,033 in four tranches, according to USASpending.gov, an official portal that records federal government spending.
The state department did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation that the outlay was to rent four vehicles, which would work out at $233,748 per vehicle. The presidential entourage’s hotel bills have also drawn scrutiny. State department documents show US taxpayers have spent $1,223,230 on VIP accommodation at the InterContinental hotel on Park Lane in Mayfair, London.
After wrapping up a state visit to Britain, Trump is to fly into Shannon airport in County Clare on Wednesday evening. He will meet the Irish taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, and then fly by helicopter to his golf resort in Doonbeg, which overlooks the Atlantic.
Nice ! I am sure the Trump children not in government employment will pay their share…

For the Trumps, the optics of this state visit are ballot-box gold dust. The rest of us, furious and baffled as to why exactly Buckingham Palace appears to be hosting the Trumps on a family holiday, are watching from between our fingers, fixated by the horror of it all. As with Love Island, you know you shouldn’t look – nothing good will come of it – but you can’t drag your eyes away.
