I’m leaving for the airport to report on the newly appointed prime minister’s first overseas trip.
My journey has become accustomed to me now: arriving at a private airport terminal, climbing into the government aircraft featuring the United Kingdom written on the side and a painted union flag on the tail fin. How does accompanying a prime minister on a foreign trip pan out? You can read my analysis of it here.
The prime minister I have traveled with has changed in the little over two years I have been going on trips like this as the BBC political editor.
To put that into perspective, I was 27 years old when I met my fourth prime minister in my lifetime, having been born in 1980.
And how much this has changed for Sir Keir. With the election campaign still in full swing, I interviewed with him one week ago on the yellow plastic chairs of Hucknall Town FC in Nottinghamshire. As a winner, politics comes at you quickly. President Biden has invited him to the White House today.
It might also fast forward the sense of normality around a new government, which always takes a little while to take hold as people adjust to the fact there are different people in the most powerful political offices in the land.
