    Keir Starmer needs to show more leadership with respect to dealing with Trump's fascist America. Arguably, any leadership whatsoever would be a start. Whilst he might be playing a clever game behind the scenes, everyone I know thinks he's indecisive and appeasing the orange tyrant. Carney and Macron portray themselves as much stronger leaders, willing to stand up to Trump's tyranny and threats. Give a bully an inch and he'll take a mile; or in this case, give him a second state visit and he'll think it's ok to steal territory and build a nuclear-powered data centre in the Yorkshire Dales, or something.

    Stand firm. I vividly remember a TV series from my childhood, The Flashing Blade. Made in the 1960s, with dubious production and even more dubious dubbing, it was French and had a story set in the 17th century. Anyway, the lyrics of the theme tune say it all:

    You've got to fight for what you want
    For all that you believe
    It's right to fight for what we want
    To live the way we please

    As long as we have done our best
    Then no one can do more
    And life and love and happiness
    Are well worth fighting for

    And we should never count the cost
    Or worry that we'll fall
    It's better to have fought and lost
    Than not have fought at all

    Let's always take whatever comes
    And never try to hide
    Face everything and anyone
    Together side by side

    Come on #SirKeir. Stand up with our European friends and allies, and show Trump that we will no longer tolerate his behaviour. It's better to have fought and lost than not have fought at all.

  2. I wonder if #SirKeir had enough nous to fool #TangerineTyrant into thinking he’s won a ‘deal’. The #EU and the #UK as well as #Canada have already agreed amongst themselves that they should step up in their efforts to support #Ukraine to a fair and lasting peace (aka get the fucking #Russian aggressor and its minions out of Ukrainian territory).
