Prime Minister Andy Burnham has boasted of the "good connection" he has established with Donald Trump at their first meeting. The pair held talks on the fringes of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Mr Trump also said relations between the UK and US were “more up” than they were under Sir Keir Starmer. Responding to a question on fluctuating relations between London and Washington, the US president told the press: “I think you’re up. Well, they’re more now than they were with your last prime minister, let me put it that way.” Mr Trump said the deal over Rolls-Royce was a “deal that nobody else could make”. He continued: “We made sure that Rolls-Royce was being properly taken care of. We didn’t force them to do things like build the Rolls-Royces in Brooklyn, New York. We didn’t do that.” He added: “I think right now, based on my relationship with your Prime Minister, Andy, I think we’re doing very well.” Andrew Marr is joined by LBC's Bethany Dawson, former Labour C
