Trump isn’t over the line yet, but Starmer seems confident enough that Trump has won.
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:
Do we, though? Macron’s reaction seems to go too far the other way. Surely a “Congratulations on your reelection, Mr President and we look forward to working with you in the interests of both our countries” would be sufficient.
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.
We have to put up with the US’s shit decision and try to minimise the damage.
It’s 4 years so far…
The past is the past. Kier doesn’t have a time machine, not 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.
Trump to Starmer: “Thanks for the help, weirdo.”
Maybe something that hurt Kamala was her use of top music stars… maybe average Americans feel those celebrities are out of touch with average people. I saw this on BBC News:
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.
lets see what position germany has in the brown-nosing the next president competition
Sadly gotta be done we need to much from America to play about
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.
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.
