Summary at a Glance

KEIR Starmer proved a charmer in his meeting with Trump - winning him round with crafty good cheer signals, body language experts revealed.

Davies said Starmer was right to come bearing the letter, but didn't really have a choice because it was the "entrance fee" needed to buy into Trump's favour.

And Erik Bucy, professor of political communications, thought Starmer struck the right tone with his body language - chumming it up with Trump like an old mate.

Graham Davies, Rishi's former presentation coach, said Keir "just about managed to stand up to Trump without taking a knee".

Bucy said Keir played the physical game "very smartly" by "winning Trump’s goodwill with the first handshake" and "cementing" the bond throughout.
