Let's get this right:
The Russians are accused of interfering with voting in the USA elections. The president denies any link with Russia, although his family is implicated.
The UK is desperate to do a trade deal with the USA once it leaves the EU but the USA is not keen.
The president of the USA signs a deal to protect US steel and aluminium industries, cutting out UK industries.
The UK allows Russian oligarchs to buy up property in the UK and the ruling party admits to receiving £800,000 in funding from Russian oligarchs.
A Russian double agent is in hospital along with his daughter and a UK police officer after being attacked with a 'nerve agent' only produced in Russia. In broad daylight. In public view.
The UK government accuses the Russian government of being behind the attack. The Russians deny it. The USA supports the UK government's accusation, as do the EU and the UN.
The UK minister of defence who has been agitating for more money to spend on the armed forces gets more positive publicity than his department have ever had.
The UK media go wild: what a great story! Every single newspaper and every TV channel support the strong stance the Prime Minister is taking against the Russians.
Brexit is off the front page.
The leader of the opposition demands proof that the Russians are behind the attack and is pilloried by the media.
The Prime Minister, who has been pretty well absent from the public eye, is suddenly out there, walking the walk. But not talking the talk, because she's useless at that.
Just watch for a new UK-USA trade deal any day now. After all, as Trump said tonight on the UK news: the UK is the USA's closest ally.
