I don't blame them. We took their secrets and shared them with dictators. We probably helped Oct 7 happen, we lost more CIA agents, I'm sure they did, too. And their secret docs are no longer secret.
Damn right. And no action to protect our shores and strengthen our country should be ruled out up to, and including, rejoining the EU and creating a European Army.
American here. Do not trust the United States now. We are a fascist oligarchy. We're trying to topple this regime. It will take us a while, even if we can be successful.
I am an American and i agree. There is no placating Trump. His behavior is irrational and follows no deliberation path. He is also being prodded and twisted by others.
Why do reform voters believe this? The only reason is because of propaganda channel, GBNews. There is hardly any other UK media they could be watching to arrive at those conclusions. My Mother is one & she only gets her 'news' from them.
Sounds like resounding "fuck trump" from us Brits....😁. A difficult one for Starmer to navigate as if he spells out what he really thinks of trump and his Nazi policies a trade war will ensue, followed by recession.
TBH, I'm surprised it's not higher. As news continues to filter out of the US it will be.
As Trump pulls out of agreements, threatens trading partners etc those relations will sour further. If you can't trust your 'partners' then are they really partners?
There is no maintaining a good relationship. That is not how this administration rolls. Relationships are not relevant. It is entirely transactional and in any given transaction, its preferred set up is “do as we demand or else”. Menace, zero sum and force.
(Addendum: We (Ireland) are really goosed. Our nexus, other than dewy-eyed nostalgia, is premised on US/ EU trade /onshore presence of US multis…our only hope is that this Admin descends into domestic chaos. A fair chance…)
It will be impossible to maintain good relations with the US whilst Trump is in charge. Even if the UK is able to extract an agreement on trade from Trump, it will be unreliable.
You cannot maintain "good relations" with a fascist state.
Britain stood firm against Hitler and Mussolini, now is the time to stand firm again. Trump aligning with Russia signals that Russia will have free rein to act against Europe.
We decent Americans applaud you.
U.K. needs first seems prudent 'Special Relationship' was just a handy confection trotted out whenever any Politician wanted to be pro U.S.
Only Israel has a 'Special Relationship' with the U.S.
The U.S. found the U.K. 'over a barrel' in W.W.2 and used their advantage for all it was worth until now.
Look at the reformers following Farage, they clearly don't want to be in Jaywick either!
Does cement their true views though if currently still want to be closer to the money grabbing, uncaring, insensitive racist, poorly educated Trump's America!
Can we send them please??
Only 48%. The result of decades of anti-European rhetoric from various press and the Conservatives built upon an already superior arrogance of the British. The UK should have learned from Suez and the Falklands how the US regards it.
Correct. Appease a bully and he will just take more. Starmer, Macron and the rest are well aware of that I’m sure and in private they’ll be making that crystal clear to Trump. Whether he listens is another question…I have my doubts.
So when your garden is invaded, and your family raped and murdered, you believe it best to be told the aggressor will stop shooting if you give them your bathroom, give the guy in charge of the "peace" process the contents of your kitchen, and that calling the police in future is not an option?! 🤦♂️
Yet Ukraine is losing the war and with Trump doing the dirty on them, the country's position is even more precarious. The British Government could have played an important peacemaking role but instead chose to bang the drum and feed the war. The Ukrainians are paying a heavy price.
I am very proud to live in a country that still value morals and principles.
Perhaps that is because I can still connect with the consequences of not doing so - my grandfather is buried in a graveyard in Sicily - killed defeating the fascists who last inflicted this misery on fellow humans.
That just proves that Reform UKKK are nothing but a cult. They had no problems with Zelesny last week but because Atgolf Hitler has come out with more bullshit they can't think for themselves so they just agree with the person who dodged five drafts.
I have been saying the same! ScoMo made the shittiest decision. Macron will have us back. Albo needs to play it right, though (he's too concerned with Modi imho)
I can’t understand why the entire left seem to want this war to continue. It’s impossible for Ukraine to win that war without western troops stepping in. Now I’m sure most lefties wouldn’t want that.
While it's heartening to see a good percentage supporting Ukraine, the 'dunno / don't care' percentage is a bit depressing. Wake up, folks, this might not impact on you directly at the moment, but it will. It really will
That’s mental and should be higher! But the world is so divided these days and with what’s happened in America and what is happening in the UK with political polarisation maybe I shouldn’t be surprised.
When are the 52% going to realise the lessons of history? You can’t retain cordial relations with a bully. It was a fact I learned in school. A fact learned by Chamberlain in 1939. Forget the USA. We are European.
How did not standing up to bullies in the playground at school work out for you? For me, they hit me harder. Until I fought back. They didn't bully me after that.
Fight the bullies. Silence is not an option, it's compliance.
I believe you will find the correct answer is 4%. I've heard that from some wonderful people. Wonderful Vladimir, so great, so strong. He's a wonderful guy and he knows about stats. You know he won his last election with 118% of the vote! He's a special guy, so special.

I'd take a wild stab and suggest 95% of people don't do online YouGov surveys.
Alan, yes you Alan, stop eating the paste, where did you even get that paste from, Alan?
Our friendship with America is temporarily suspended for the next 4 years!
I miss Robin Cook and his ilk.
They sold MAGA hats in the UK to the anti-globalist, anti-immigrant folk
A state that at present is actively threatening the Sovereignty of Ukraine, Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal.
The mind boggles how that works.
The Ukrainian President was the inadvertent cause of Trump’s first impeachment (some Donalds never learn). Full story here:
