Claims have circulated on social media that attach significance to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer not being invited to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration ceremony in Washington DC next week.

Publisher’s rating: No UK prime minister, or any other world leader, appears to have visited the United States at the time of any presidential inauguration going back to when records of visits began in 1874. This year, in a break with tradition, Donald Trump has invited several world leaders to join him on his inauguration day. Sir Keir Starmer does not appear to be one of the invitees.
