'Of course Donald Trump is not going to take Keir Starmer seriously, nobody does - Keir Starmer has to go'

How much more of this can we take?

How many more pubs do we need to see close? How many more private schools do we need to see go under? How many more hair salons and pharmacies and other businesses do we have to watch go belly up?


Or what about farmers selling land or just giving up because they can’t make impending Inheritance tax payments? All of this putting our food security at risk.

And that’s before we even mention illegal migration, which they appear to all but forgotten about right now.

In an odd way, Keir Starmer is probably thankful to Donald Trump and his trade intervention, for moving our eyes away from his party’s woeful mismanagement of absolutely everything.

How much more of this can we honestly take? Forget fixing the foundations, this Government have decimated them.

They continue to tell us they are clearing up the mess left by the previous administration. In my view. They’re making more of a mess, but will they listen?

After an estimated 13 U-turns, Keir Starmer's Government must be thankful for the distraction of international politics. That way they don’t have to address problems at home, many of which they’ve created.

So I wanted to make sure that we don’t lose sight of the reality that the British people are facing every day..

Despite Brexit, Keir Starmer chose to align us all closer to the EU, instead of focusing on building the UK into a powerhouse that can trade with every country.

Setting our own terms, building our own British based industries, encouraging growth, instead of self sabotage like net zero, an exercise in self harm.

When Donald Trump asked Nato to send reconnaissance personnel to Greenland, Keir Starmer sent one person. Is that a serious move? Keir Starmer has absolutely no power over Donald Trump.

I don’t agree with everything that Donald Trump does and this Greenland demand is likely to backfire, but Keir Starmer has behaved like a schoolboy giving a teacher an apple.

He has been weak and ineffective. His coalition of the willing a combination of a talking shop and a useless crop of leaders coming together to try and make it look like they’re doing something, has caused no end of damage to the notion of Nato, where most who are members haven’t paid their fair share, relying on the US to pick up the tab.

So why should Donald Trump respect Nato if even Keir Starmer and its members are working to undermine it?

Keir has allowed members of his own party, like Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan to openly insult a world leader. I’m amazed that Donald Trump was even able to come to the negotiating table with the UK Government after all the shameful abuse hurled by them towards him.

Ironically, the Labour Party are pretty thin skinned. What could be more fascist than ID cards, which after wide ranging pressure, eventually they U-turned.

Instead of name calling, this should be a wakeup call. Instead of selling our sovereignty like Chagos, and aligning with the ECHR, a bunch of laws created for a different time, Britain needs to take a lesson from Israel and arm up.

Become more self sufficient and re-industrialise, especially our energy, and we need to end being over-reliant on any one country or bloc of nations.

Of course Donald Trump is not going to take Keir Starmer seriously, nobody does. Keir Starmer has to go.
