Absolutely not.

He's a bully. A liar. And a fascist.

A huge misjudgement for Starmer to have offered him the visit in the first place - and it's beyond time for him to correct that.

Starmer said in the Oval Office that there is no division between him and Trump.
--> When a politician tells you who they are, believe them.

Don't worry, we Brits loathe bullies and braggarts - he'll get the welcome he deserves.

Sort yourself and your party out Mr Starmer!

realsirlansalot.bsky.social•66 days ago

Wasn't it King Charles who offered it, not Starmer?

rosame.bsky.social•66 days ago

Our monarchs are merely constitutional figureheads in fancy dress. There's no way the King could have invited Trump himself - he hardly endeared himself to the British public last time when he behaved like a graceless oaf with the Queen.

I’m sure Starmer suggested it. I don’t think either want it but we need time.

And they would still appear to be inflicting him on Scotland. I wonder why 🤔

Which one is a bully a liar and a fascist?

hollybrigstocke.bsky.social•66 days ago

A bully, a liar, and a fascist? Which one? Starmer or Trump because I can't tell them apart from that statement.

Starmer and the rest of the political class have banked everything on a trade deal with the US balancing the economic cost of leaving the EU/EEA. It's though a position of extreme weakness so naturally any deal will be dictated by Washington. Get ready for a pretty desperate sell.

Hopefully the level of protest on the streets will be enough to offend Trump’s ego and provoke a tantrum.

dhemps.bsky.social•66 days ago

Yes. That Trump is a piece of work too.

Mass protests are guaranteed if it happens.

Did I hear an ugly rumour that one of Israel's war criminal genocide merchants, Gideon Sa'ar is being welcomed by our complicit government? If this is true, where is this covered in our media, including the BBC? Whether this is true or not, Starmer and Lammy have entertained other Israeli criminals.

Donald Trump is not and never will be welcomed by the people of the UK despite what Starmer and King Charles think.

timlagor.bsky.social•66 days ago

It's only a misjudgement if we manage to make it a political disaster for them.

eileen13.bsky.social•66 days ago

What will Trump and KCIII discuss? The sovereignty of Canada perhaps?

kevstringer1.bsky.social•66 days ago

Sucking up to a deranged tyrant is never a good look.

It's almost as though Starmer is actively trying to become less popular than he already is.
