And creep around Trump and the King afterwards

I am willing to wait and see what happens on Sunday. I am not confident Starmer can continue to walk such a fine line.

Well said, SKS.

Time for Starmer to step up to the plate. This could be a moment in history for the UK. We hate bullies. 🇺🇦

That is such a non-response from Starmer. Really disappointing.

Substance over style. Probably the only leader that doesn't give a shit about optics on social media and actually puts in the legwork in terms of diplomacy.

He should rescind that invitation to Trump for a state visit to the UK.

But let’s give the orange fascist collaborator a ride in a gold carriage.

That's good enough for me.
Now we all pray.

Same as every other response by leaders around the world. Why are people hating on Starmer?

It is utter nonsense for people to be piling on his response.

It's people who have already decided what his response was without reading it. Incredibly tedious

A strong UK will benefit Ukraine. It’s pointless for Starmer to damage his relationship with Trump, it only benefits russia.

Tbf we've definitely reached a point where the US can no longer be relied on, and a slow pivot to Europe is likely inevitable.

But you're right. There nothing to be gained Kamikaze-ing Trump in response. Most of Europe has gone a similar path too. Calm heads needed now.

That was a failure of statecraft

There should never have been a press Q&A without a formal agreement in place

Zelensky was never going to sign without a security guarantee

He tried to explain why

Vance & Trump believed he should be grateful & tried to bully him into submission

Distasteful
