Starmer

Yeah but, weren't the Brexitty cult told it's better to focus on trading with emerging economies on the other side of the globe, whereas our next door neighbours economies aren't growing that much now so trading with them is not that important anymore? Are they still buying that bollocks?

lcmacveteranaz.bsky.social•33 days ago

Maybe they should have taken the Brexit vote more seriously at the time? Ya think?

renslaer.bsky.social•33 days ago

As they should. Some of us predicted this.

Canada too, we should seek nicer friends and closer political alliances and trade partnerships with progressive, like-minded European countries.

anthonyf272.bsky.social•32 days ago

You think he'll listen when he already has his agenda?

redkarl.bsky.social•33 days ago

Not only should Canada move closer to the EU, put develop closer ties with Latin America.

Bleached poultry from the USA is not appealing, their President even thinks injecting bleach will help you recover from a virus.

kenlad1.bsky.social•32 days ago

It’s clear that leaving the EU was catastrophic, a huge majority now know this and yet Starmer won’t even debate it. Why?? Are unseen strings being pulled? If so, who is pulling them?

gmacq.bsky.social•33 days ago

....be that as it may, but who's going to listen?

podkin.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yes... quietly... step by step.

amyfromiacon.bsky.social•32 days ago

Shame he only listens to his donors, not the British population.

southsaxon.bsky.social•32 days ago

Of course we fucking do!!

gjdop.bsky.social•32 days ago

Unfortunately, @teamlabouruk.bsky.social #Starmer and his Ministers have been bought and the US has offered them great kickbacks.

dagobert913.bsky.social•32 days ago

I certainly wish I could move closer to Europe! The last bastion of sanity in the western world.

charactermatters24.bsky.social•33 days ago

Of course and they should

dirty-ile-town.bsky.social•32 days ago

Starmer will do what Blackrock say. He is compromised.

Hint: it will not involve closer ties with EU due to good regulations (good for us/planet, not for greedy oligarchs)

fendi1.bsky.social•32 days ago

The US can keep their "pink slime" burgers.

martinh55.bsky.social•32 days ago

It seems obvious that the US is no longer a reliable ally under the current administration!

stringerbelly.bsky.social•33 days ago

tbh who trusts polls nowadays?

You'd be daft not to support closer ties with the EU over the USA just now, yet haven't we learned by now that there's an awful lot of daft people out there?

damerainbowwarrior.bsky.social•33 days ago

Peter, please would you give this a push?
1 personal endorsement from someone, such as yourself, is worth thousands of posts from someone like me - especially now people are deleting Twitter and Facebook it's going to be difficult getting petitions signed 🙏

the USA has had it chaps....move on....we just eat here...

vivianplee.bsky.social•33 days ago

As an American, i'm saddened to say that all should countries stay away from us right now. our current leaders only want to inflict harm on the rest of the world. 😩

peteeyorks.bsky.social•33 days ago

I voted Labour at the GE but I’m feeling disappointed that Starmer isn’t going to do what’s best for Britain and start a positive move towards the closer tie to the EU that he promised during the election campaign. It will be his downfall in 2029.

jamesawr.bsky.social•32 days ago

100%

Rejoin is the best thing we can do. Starmer is choosing to ignore this. He is duplicitous.

He won’t get the same support.

jerrymt.bsky.social•32 days ago

We want/need to roll back their healthcare insurance that has been flooding UK for 15 years. Stop for profit healthcare at tax revenue expense by corporates not paying UK tax.
Certaily fo not want tgeir poor quality disenfected hirmobe riddled processed 'food'.
