Not seen anyonep on here impressed with Starmer so far but he has been less bad than Bozo Truss or Sunak carrying out watered down versions of their ideas. Im not a fan at all but still rather have him than Badonach or Farage. He is no Attlee or Bevan thats for sure.
It's not worth replying it goes from talking to one to a pile on. Enjoy. Least we have sacked a manager gives folk something football wise to debate and the ones who just come on for politics will be lost for a few days.
I see "Putin" has been speaking from Kursk. That's if you believe the guy isn't the most ridiculously fake body double.
Surely you see that threats of widespread tariffs in the way that trump presented them against an ally is a threat that was very obviously going to lead into further threats and aggression in the way that it has? Tariffs do work when they’re targeted at specific industries or products, but when they’re blanket against an entire country it just puts prices up for everyone in both countries. You ignored where i pointed out that he made his intentions with Greenland clear in 2020. I’m sure that was a mistake on your part and you intended to respond. Trumps first presidency was horrendous and set the entire world down a very dangerous path and ended with an attempted coup and insurrection. Very peaceful. As you seem to care about the middle east, he also threw a petrol bomb on middle eastern relations by moving the us embassy in israel to jerusalem And no, Trump absolutely isn’t doing the same thing with regards to Israel as Biden did or Harris would have. They wouldn’t have been good for Palestine no, but do you honestly think Kamala would have shared an AI generated video of her sunbathing in “Harris Gaza” with Netanyahu with a golden statue of herself behind? It’s going to get so much worse under Trump and it already has. And before you try and play whataboutism - no i’m not particularly happy with Starmer. But he’s doing a million times better than Badenoch or Farage would be doing so no i don’t regret voting for Labour. If they do something that i’d consider worse than the tories would have done on a specific issue, maybe i’ll start to regret my vote, but he hasn’t.
To be honest I never heard anything about Greenland during that time, genuinely never heard of him mentioning that- not saying you’re wrong though. He definitely didn’t say it during the campaign trail at any time. I disagree that Trumps first term was horrendous actually, things were thriving over here prior to Covid. I agree that AI video was disgusting made my skin crawl
And tariffs are a wait and see. Loads of countries already have tariffs on the US so some of these are retaliatory. Let’s see if the medium and long term works out- Honda has committed to building loads of factories here now so that was the whole point. I do think there needs to be more strategy behind it though from what I can tell such as tariffing items that USA produces naturally in certain industries rather than these blanket tariffs
