The Labour Party & The Donald

[Khandro]

'Starmer continues to peddle the line that Trump trying to sue the Labour party won’t affect his relationship with the former President, though his cabinet’s past (and very public) distain for Trump doesn’t exactly bode well for the special relationship if Trump does get in to the White House. Nor will having Labour MP Stephen Doughty as the Minister for North America…

Doughty has never hidden his feelings on Trump. In an interview with the BBC, he labelled Trump as “racist, incompetent or both” and in 2019, branded him a “racist, sexist, divisive and a liar”, “offensive to civilised values” and that Trump “represents the very worst of the world”.

Tell us how you really feel Stephen. 😄

And then there's "Moron" Lamy (as described by Rod Liddle) as Foreign Minister.

Will the special relationship survive under this government?

Donald is a bit of a nationalist Khandro,he is also partly Scottish,therefore entitling himself to be a Scottish nationalist,yet the SNP mob on here dont seem to like him,they are the same as him,why arent they endorsing him?

Some of our new overlords seem to have big gobs...

"he has a long memory"

he's not a very dependable or trustworthy ally anyway. if he wins then the relationship will consist of whatever mood he is experiencing on the day

if push comes to shove they can just lie and say that his tan and hairpiece look convincing. then we'll be his best friends for about 20 minutes until he has the next mood swing

Perhaps that's why Putin needs to chat to him so often. To keep up the flattery just in case he wins.

Nothing like The Donald to get the lefies spitting tacks🤣

Labour dont have a clue, just like the left above. Of course there is a relationship just like we have one with the Aussies , the FRench and others.  The big difference with the US though is they are powerful and rich.  Sir 2TK is a total idiot to let this get out of hand, The Americans (all sides) hate others interfering and more especially dont take kindly to the British doing it.  July 4th is still celebrated remember, cross Party.

I doubt 4th July has anything to do with being anti-British; more a celebration of gaining control and their own sovereignty. We should probably do similar for getting out from under the EU.

 

(Strange 9th April isn't celebrated in the US too, as it's then they most became one nation, wasn't it ?)

//more a celebration of gaining control and their own sovereignty.//

Thats exactly my point. The British are the last nation they want to interfere with their politics.

It's not anti British but they do still feel strongly about it in many quarters
