How do Brits feel about the fact that President Donald Trump is angry at Kier Starmer for how he is mistreating the British people because Trump feels very protective of the Brits?

Don’t be silly x

OP is silent, wearing a MAGA cap and Farage t shirt maybe.

I would say you are absolutely having a laugh but I think you actually believe what you have just written.
If you can’t see the long term damage caused by Blair and Brown ( or you are choosing not to) then there is nothing more needs to be said.

A few, only a few of you are thinking.

He is a senile idiot. Who cares what he thinks or does?

I can see the long term damage done by 14 years of Tory cuts and chaos.

If you look at it objectively I don’t think she is wrong. The economy was recovering nicely from the 2008 crash until Osbourne slammed the brakes on it with austerity. At which point there becomes a difference between how the U.K. was recovering and how the rest of the world did. It began to improve again only after he took his foot off the brake and eased austerity but by that point the U.K. economy was streets behind many others that were equally as badly affected by 2008. Then Brexit happened.

About half of Labour’s issue at the moment is they’ve tied themselves in knots with austerity 3, avoiding rises in working taxes and immigration in an attempt to not alienate the centre right Tory voters and the reform voters. Starmer doesn’t have the charisma to be able to string people along in the way Farage does. The Tories are screwed for the same reason + nobody has forgotten them running the country into the ground.

Ok I’m listening to you.
The economy never genuinely recovered from 2008.
I hate to use that “kicking the can down the road” often used phrase but feel it’s true.
I do think the current government are in a difficult position but again this all flows originally back to what I keep saying.The change in the financial policies and immigration due to the policies of Blair and Brown.

There would be damage no matter who was in. We went through a recession and cuts were a necessity, we were getting back on an even keel then Covid happened.

I agree with you it never recovered. It may well have done had we continued with Brown as PM.

The immigration one is difficult. The birth rate in the British population of the U.K. is low. Below replacement rate. That is unsustainable without immigration. And not just skilled immigration unless you want immigrants doing the higher skilled jobs and British workers doing unskilled jobs.It was a big problem in the 90s. It will be a big problem again if we restrict immigration too much. I don’t think you can get away with a Christian fundamentalist approach to having more children here in quite the same way as you can in parts of the USA.

GDP does not measure wealth, it measures turnover. It certainly doesn't tell you how much wealth is concentrated in the hands of the very few, nor how far your income will actually go.

so is starmer

Correct, that average is distorted by the insanely rich. And you also need to remember that life in the US is expensive. Food costs are high. Things like internet cost much, much more than in the UK. And of course there is the massive cost of healthcare to consider. That money doesn't go far.

I just hope he can step in and do something or get someone who can.

The irony of one knob being angry at another knob for being knobbish 😭

Miller does his thinking for him

I mean, I'm against the sort of people who put in masks to hide their identity in order to abuse others (like the "antifa" TRAs who have harassed women in the past). At this moment in time though, it's ICE who are masking up.

Who is pulling the strings at the moment?Because Trump doesn't even know what day it is.

Cleverer than Trump? Trump who was described by Dr. Kelley as "the dumbest goddam student I ever had"?

I neither know nor care about anything that orange rapist racist twat has to say.

I don't know how anyone can take him seriously.

Starmer is more of a problem destroying the uk than Trump ever has been!

Yet. Give it time.

Good job someone cares about us as one thing’s for sure Starmer and the Labour Party don’t.

National leaders do not traditionally get involved in the politics of other countries. That's definitely not normal. Note how leaders around the world have been diplomatic towards Cheeto Benito, regardless of their personal feelings.

I genuinely think that Keir Starmer is a decent person, however on dealing with the top two voter issues of the economy and immigration he is viewed to have completely failed.

Whereas I think that Trump is genuinely an unpleasant person but on the economy and immigration he is viewed as successful.

In short do you vote for a nice person that fails to deliver what you want or a nasty person that does deliver what you want.
