The special relationship is very, very special. Seems to involve an awful lot of take-and-take. Like all the best relationships, it works because one party to it is delighted to be a doormat for the other. www.theguardian.com/business/202... - ThreadSky

Here I was thinking "sovereignty" is what people voted for in 2016.

Makes me hanker for the good ole days when Tony Blair was Bu$h's poodle.

Inexplicable response by Starmer

So much h for kissing the ring and hoping nothing happens

The truly one-way thing about the "special relationship" is that it only exists in one country. No-one in the USA seems to be even aware of the concept.

Be like #Canada, 🇨🇦 Sir Keir.

This is one of the saddest things I’ve read all day.

How much steel do we export to the US?

jimhigham.bsky.social•16 days ago

Do we actually export much steel and aluminium to the US though?

Outside of the EU, the UK is incredibly vulnerable.

And the British people will ultimately foot the bill for Labour ideology and weakness.

The UK is in an 'Abusive Relationship'.

What's the point in provoking Trump over trade that's worth about £1bn, especially if everyone else is getting hit too anyway? The UK isn't exactly an iron, steel and aluminium exporting powerhouse. It's a fight not worth having right now, akin to the whole "Brexit to protect the fishing industry".

Seems Labour continuing to ditch Solidarity with those close to us politically and geographically

It also seems that we are not prepared to back up a commonwealth partner against the Trump mafia

What a pathetic excuse, Starmer is

rabbrucesspider.bsky.social•16 days ago

Starmer seems to turn into Uriah Heep every time he speaks to Trump. Grovel, grovel, fawn, fawn.
