News analysis: The Independent’s political editor David Maddox’s trip to Washington DC for Trump’s inauguration found that the UK/US special relationship has morphed into deep antipathy for the Starmer government from the new White House administration
But today there are news articles saying the complete opposite, that Trump “likes Starmer a lot”?
Can’t see why he would given that Starmer sent advisors to help Harris campaign and has been openly hostile to Trump during the election. Trump is a very petty man.
It’s also part of the general Starter strategy of “back down on every single progressive promise” when pushed. Being against Trump was just another remnant of trying to pretend to be left while in the Opposition. This video is a (long) good analysis of the Starmer government in general, but I’ve timestamped specifically the bit where he talks about Trump and foreign policy.
yup
Trump seems to like Starmer personally so none of what was said by the admin previously matters anymore. That said Trump having another about-face on Starmer could be mere moments away at any time so who knows what will really happen in the end.
