Johnson was shunned yesterday by the leaders of the EU, Canada and USA as can be seen on multiple videos however only reported by Channel 4 News.

Biden spoke about the EU multiple times after the meeting but did not mention the UK once during his speech.

Johnson's comparison of Brexit and the EU with Ukraine and Russia's invasion obviously did not help.

Is Global Britain becoming isolated on the World stage rather than the leader of the Free World?

Why would he mention the UK?

We're at the kids table now. He didn't mention Mongolia, Sudan, Montenegro, etc etc.

Maybe because the uk is not as reliant on Russian gas as the EU is ?

We exiled ourselves from the top table. We publicly boast that our table is better than everybody elses. The English government show themselves on TV and are less well behaved than a primary school class hyped up on sugar and fizzy drinks. [By contrast the Welsh and Scottish parliaments conduct proper reasoned debates.] Why the fuck would any of the grown ups of the world want to come sit on the billy-no-mates infants table?

Although we are fast becoming their lapdog as we desperately scramble for trade deals, so maybe we might end up with more of our troops as cannon fodder.

Hopefully not.

couple, us we him her.

I think your trying to make way more out it than it was.

It's all about trying to help the Ukrainian and stop Russia, and the dependence on the gas.

The rest of the world knows exactly how important the UK is to the world economy same as any other major nation.

We don't need our ego's fluffed because the leader of the pack is getting on the bus.

The US along with others want to isolate Russia. They know some countries are far less reliant on Russian energy than others so they don't need too much help. It makes sense for the US to help the EU in anyway they can so the EU can finally tell Putin to stick it

Guess you missed the emphasis on the word "united" then, Biden used that word many times for very good reason. You always just seem to want to score points against the uk and bring up brexit and whilst people are dying personally I think its a little crass.

Did Biden mention the UK? That was the "shun". Not Biden treating Boris like John Terry.

But enough of this pointless back and forth, I think every western country is doing stuff just in different ways

Some by taking in majority of refugees and some with providing more arms ect

I agree with that as being a reason why it wasn't a snub. Not because he shook hands earlier.
