    I understand a national leader having to say such things to appease the giant orange toddler, but I sincerely hope that’s not a genuine personal belief.

      Would like to know how Starmer really calls him in his private conversations.

      Given his recent actions, he’s pretty right wing.

    Gosh, how strange. I expected him to say, ‘He’s a total cunt and I’m only pretending to like him because it’s part of my job’.

    Agree with Trump on points is one thing, but like and respect?? I never expected to see those two words linked to Trump without negation. Good thing we had brexit for the next thing Keir says could be that he believes Trump and trust his words.

    I believe him. The lunatic torries of the last ten years allowed Labour to move even further to the right, and now you have a labour PM who is about to destroy health car and bring other libertarian goals to the table.

      Destroying healthcare by… increasing funding for the NHS and for social care, ending strikes by negotiating with the unions, and hitting their initial appointment targets years early?

        do you think advancing your politics in a sub of which you are now a moderator is the best idea ?

          Yes, everyone here trembles under my tyrannical rule. I try not to let it go to my head.

    “Like and respect” means that he sees ways that he himself can benefit. And perhaps that he actually agrees with the insane ideas, but self-benefit is always there regardless.

      Or, maybe he is being civil for the sake of the nation.

      Last thing anyone in the UK needs right now is the orange toddler turning his gaze on the country and demanding mental things.

        Everybody needs to shit on him all the time, everywhere, and then gang up on him when he goes after anybody.

        He is weirdly the one who can unite us 🤔

    No shit he’d say that. The US is unfortunately in a position where they could destroy our economy. I’m not going to be angry over him calling Donald a good boy.

    It’d be very funny for Starmer to call him a cunt, but all that would achieve is Starmer looking based on Twitter for a day then being hated for triggering a trade war with the world’s largest economy.

    “It’s his job as Prime Minister to suck fascist knob!”

    I’m starting to think all British people are just natural sub pigs.

    I really like and respect Keir Starmer too. And all his 21st century predecessors. I really like and respect them also.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
