I wouldn't be so sure about the 'as a whole' bit. We're in a different place now, this time round.
Reform on the up. Growing backlash against the Reeves/Starmer economic shitshow, and people are reading Trump better now. Not taking everything he says literally.

Sure there will be protests. But a growing number of people, while maybe not out and out Trump supporters, won't give a shit either way.

In other news the official twitter account of the Republican party's house judiciary committee has rick rolled the public over the epstein files

So much of what Starmer said was obviously carefully phrased not to piss off the Americans .

Why he didn't go all out and just piss Trump off is beyond me.

Could we get Just stop Oil to cover him in paint, and get the baby blimp on the flagpole at US Embassy when he arrives?

Senator Bernie Sanders quote

Quote:It doesn't matter who Donald Trump "nominates."

The next Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Education, Secretary of Treasury, and Secretary of Housing ... is Elon Musk.

Bernie Sanders is the best US President that they have never had.

If they got close enough for that, they'd all be shot.

I make no secret of the fact that I don't rate Starmer as a PM, but at the same time he's not stupid. Offering another State Visit to Trump might make a lot of people want to throw up (me included) but it's a means to an end. The best way to deal with the Donald is to use his vanity to your own advantage and this is possibly the best weapon we have. Trump is well known to have been a big fan of the Queen even if she, allegedly, didn't feel the same about him. She had to meet with some very unpleasant people over the years and had pretty much all of them wrapped around her finger.

The last couple of days have seen some slightly more positive noises coming out of the WhiteHouse which can only be good for us and Ukraine IF it continues. Time will tell.

Zelenskyy arrives at the WhiteHouse. The next few hours will be interesting.
