Whats wrong with his sources? Are you denying President Trump has been invited to a state visit by your Queen?

[tfcrew]

Your 'nick' is quite valid...so are my sources.
Now stay on topic please.

 Looks like they have Louie, Huey, and Dewey...and then Frank Zappa

The constant clashes between Pablo Casado and Albert Rivera, the leaders of the Popular Party (PP) and Ciudadanos (Citizens), meant that the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez of the Socialist Party (PSOE), was largely spared the onslaught that he had been expecting.
 At the first debate on Monday, Sánchez had faced a barrage of criticism from his rivals, which also include Pablo Iglesias of the leftist Podemos party, particularly over the issue of Catalan independence.

I believe what moby objects to is the characterization of Trump visiting Queen Elizabeth.  He is not.  He is visiting the UK.

State visits to the UK, by protocol, are issued by Buckingham Palace.  But who those invitations are issued to is determined by the UK government, not Her Majesty.  As head of state, she hosts official state dinners, and her office extends the invitation, however, that is purely ceremonial.

Well then why is he so ambiguous that he needs a spokesperson? According to CNN--"The most trusted name in news" ..."DT & QE -back together again'' 
Anyway...what other prime minister jobs are open?
 
 

[Boethius]

I'm not his spokesperson.  I just understand the point because I also reside in a Commonwealth country, where Queen Elizabeth is our head of state.


I don't think PM May's position is open just yet.

Semantics. He is invited to a state dinner and will meet with the Queen. He can split those hairs all he likes.

 

[Boethius]

The semantics is exactly what he objected to, though.

I guess Spain is it for awhile [I wonder why they have elections on Sunday in an odd number year?] Other stuff----

Why the European Parliament elections will be the most European yet......
Manfred Weber bounded onto the stage and launched his programme for Europe, which included a European FBI, ending the EU’s accession talks with Turkey and new efforts to find a cure for cancer.It all felt rather silly. Mr Weber is the Spitzenkandidat or “lead candidate” of the European People’s Party (EPP), the group of European centre-right parties, for the European Parliament elections that will be held between May 23rd and the 26th.

  Did he post this objection and I didn't see it? Otherwise, how do we know that?
 

[Boethius]

It's obvious to me what the issue was.
