  Can we grow a pair and tell this nutcase to get fucked instead? It’s eternally frustrating to watch our politicians rush to rim this fascist.

    This is just yet another brexit benefit. They can’t turn their backs on the US market.

  Unfortunately the pragmatic move given the orange toddler could crash our economy with just a single deranged tweet.

  It is not worth it for Starmer to treat Trump like the piece of turd he is – crashing our economy and causing a rampant increase in poverty in the process – just so he can look based on twitter and Reddit for a few hours.

  Wooing Trump while simultaneously becoming less reliant on the US and growing closer to the EU again is genuinely probably the only thing Kier is doing exceptionally well in right now, so I won’t complain.

  Still, I hope we see the return of that giant baby Trump balloon lol

    Unfortunately the new nukes that fit to the f35 we agreed to buy from the US.

    Require US permission to use. So we are far from reducing our reliance on them.

      Do you have confirmation that they require US permission, or is it speculation?

      And that’s just one thing. Broadly speaking we absolutely are reducing our reliance on them.

  I hope the “Donald Trump Baby Blimp” makes an appearance at every place he visits :)

    I expect Starmer & Co. to make protest against the visit illegal if they can and as difficult as possible if they can’t. They won’t want to hear any dissent - although Starmer is so far up the Mango Mussolini’s arsehole he won’t hear it anyway.

    No, please don’t mess it up. While he’s off doing pomp and ceremony stuff, he doesn’t have his fingers in policy. In fact, a full world tour of all British territory might be warranted.

  I’d still go with the earlier proposal: a lunch with Prince Andrew in Pizza Express in woking.

  He’ll make sure to schedule a private party with Prince Andrew and a couple of 12 year olds.

  That place has to have some trap doors into a dungeon. Let’s go medieval.

  On the positive side, UK to distract Trump from MAGA crap for a week.
