Disagreeing with Trump in public is a step forward. But refusing to do what he tells you to, whether in public or in private, is much more important.

Burnham should cut off the US's use of bases, like Spain already has, to help end Trump's continuing attacks on Iran. There is nothing "defensive" about Trump's war.

Trump and Farage have zero sympathy for anyone who doesn't look like them, but absolutely immense wells of self-pity
Your money or your life? Trump & Big Pharma’s demands have been met by Starmer - and new research in the BMJ shows the cost. Campaigners are now taking the Government to court to stop the disastrous US-UK medicines deal before it costs our #NHS £45bn and over 200,000 lives.
The Trump administration should not attempt to interfere in picking the British chancellor.

Red flag after red flag after red flag. Far more than was publicly known. And still Starmer pushed forward with appointing Mandelson as US ambassador. Why? Because he thought someone this dodgy would get along well with Trump.

"As with most of Trump’s ego-driven actions, this is pathetic. But this attack on free speech is also a chilling part of the authoritarian path he’s hacking through US democracy." Stop Trump's Alyssa Elliott writes for Metro – check it out: metro.co.uk/2026/04/29/d...
Donald Trump's latest move is pathetic - but also terrifying
This case is blatantly farcical – and that’s precisely why it’s dangerous.

We went to Buckingham Palace this morning as #KingCharles has left to meet with Trump on his #StateVisit. Starmer sending the King to wine & dine with the warmonger-in-chief, whilst allowing the US use of UK airbases to conduct strikes, not just makes us complicit but emboldens #Trump.
The Peter Mandelson scandal is not really about the process. There was no "correct and proper" way to appoint Epstein's friend as US ambassador. However many boxes they ticked, it was always going to be a scandal.
So here's what we now know: 1. Starmer's No 10 pushed hard to get Mandelson in post as fast as possible 2. They even wanted to SKIP vetting entirely for Epstein's old pal 3. "No 10 wanted Mandelson in Washington whatever the risk" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Olly Robbins says he faced ‘constant pressure’ to get Mandelson in post
Sacked Foreign Office permanent secretary says he was under pressure from Downing Street over appointment of US ambassador

Keir Starmer is again saying that he is outraged that he wasn't told the vetting info about Peter Mandelson. But all the information anyone needed about Mandelson – that he was close friends with Epstein – was public knowledge long before his appointment. And Starmer knew.
