Mitt Romney's response on NBC to our story this morning notably different to that of his spokespeople: "I'm generally not enthusiastic about adopting the comments of people who are unnamed... I'm not sure who this person is but I can tell you that we have a very special relationship between the US and Great Britain. It goes back to our very beginnings - cultural and historical - but I also believe the president understands that so I don't agree with whoever that adviser might be but do agree that we have a very common bond between ourselves and Great Britain."
