Trump isn’t over the line yet, but Starmer seems confident enough that Trump has won.
Sadly gotta be done we need to much from America to play about
Really awful. Starmer could congratulate Trump without indulging him.
Realistically perhaps Britain just needs partners, with the US of course being a major partner (Five Eyes for example).
If we weren’t so closely tied to the US then maybe Starmer could be making a statement similar to that of Macron and Scholz today:
Trump isn’t over the line yet, but Starmer seems confident enough that Trump has won.
We all know it’s over at this point though.
God help the world. This is all just a big game to some people.
Historically stupid for sure.
It’s impressive that Jonathan Ashworth managed to lose two elections on two separate continents in one year.
Finest political mind of the last century.
Double checks publication.
No, not the onion.
When people tell you who they are (at the very fucking least cordial with literal fascists), believe them.
I mean I get you, but it’s not worth burning bridges with a very close ally just so you can look based on a tweet.
The US is very powerful and Trump has proven himself to be very petty. He could make life difficult for the UK, and we’re in a precarious position to begin with.
We have to put up with the US’s shit decision and try to minimise the damage. It’s 4 years.
It’s 4 years so far…
The past is the past. Kier doesn’t have a time machine, nor was anything the UK did under the previous Trump government his fault.
It’s 4 years from now.
Diplomacy means you have to be friendly with people you’d probably rather not be.
Start telling other world leaders to fuck off, and see where it gets you.
Can’t wait for Lammy to shake hands with Trump on his next state visit.
Trump holds grudges so maybe he would insist on only meeting Starmer and not Lammy. Who knows.
