Trump's "rhetoric used in extremis" should not be taken so literally warns Labour's Peter Kyle.

But what if his words became a reality?

Like erasing the existence of trans people? That's extreme and he did it.

sloanelysbeth.bsky.social•68 days ago

‘the news agents’ team are in favour of that.

elevs.bsky.social•68 days ago

Pathetic answers from Kyle. I’m the biggest Labour apologist but now isn’t the time to be so afraid of these Oligarchs that you endanger our children online. He needs to grow a backbone.

zoonie.bsky.social•68 days ago

Tell that to the people who have just had their disability benefits funding withdrawn, you useless, jelly back-boned weakling.

marcopolo66.bsky.social•67 days ago

Is every Peter Kyle interview a car crash, or does it just seem that way?

ronague.bsky.social•68 days ago

Right

charliegreg.bsky.social•68 days ago

Democracy dies when spineless career Spunktrumpets like Kyle here, play career politics. Or something like that. Appalling. No difference with Matt Hancock et al from the last administration.

lukesmua.bsky.social•67 days ago

Surely by any standards, Kyle would have to concede that was a total car crash of an interview. He's USELESS

caulfieldl.bsky.social•68 days ago

They literally are in front of your eyes!
Labour will lose the next election talking like this.
Have they taken nothing away from the democrats loss.

supernovalabs.co.uk•68 days ago

Peter Mandleson needs to be drop kicked out of politics SO HARD

supernovalabs.co.uk•68 days ago

Didn't he basically architect every shit thing that Labour has done over the last 30 years?

davidgmurray.bsky.social•68 days ago

Listening to Peter Kyle interview now…is he Dominic Raab in disguise??? He sounds exactly the same and he is also talking shite

soderbrod.nafofellas.com•68 days ago

I'd rather Labour dealt in reality as opposed to what they hope is the case.

stelodge.bsky.social•68 days ago

Its an old trick they tell lie after lie about what they are going to do, then when you stop taking them serious they take advantage and say I told you what I was going to do and you did nothing to stop me.

mrweekender.bsky.social•68 days ago

Peter Kyle needs to take his head out of his arse.

henriettam.bsky.social•68 days ago

Really.... I'm sure the Danes will be delighted. Yet again America's poodle springs to mind.

brian-robinsonbsky.bsky.social•68 days ago

Kyle just isn't very good at dissembling, maybe that's to his credit as a person but not so great for a politician.

thelifeofsharks.com•68 days ago

Should we setup a GoFundMe to buy Peter Kyle a spine?

sky-bloo.bsky.social•68 days ago

He should try telling that to the migrants cowering in hiding while Trump's goons seek them out at home or at work.

lucyarnold.bsky.social•68 days ago

Kyle was absolutely flailing there. It's not hard, they're NATO allies, you stand with them, Denmark, against an aggressor.

bellabanana.bsky.social•67 days ago

First he came for Greenland and we did not speak out, because we were not Danish.
All I can hope is that Trump doesn’t threaten to invade UK. Because we haven’t made any friends with those comments.

renewablesnow.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’m afraid the government is going to spend the next 4 years pretending the US is a functioning liberal democracy. It isn’t, it’s gone …..

glesga-grognard.bsky.social•65 days ago

despite the news that Trump spent 45mins on the phone threatening them with everything from sanctions to military action?

these are not the actions of a rational person. Trump is showing us who he is. We should take him at his word and act accordingly.

toxicmonkery.bsky.social•68 days ago

How does the saying go?

"The road to Fascism is paved by the people who told you to stop overreacting."

renewablesnow.bsky.social•67 days ago

It’s called appeasement

sk-lindsey.bsky.social•68 days ago

Geezus, had 2 listen to this 2x bcuz it's so unbelievable! This guy is the kind of chickenshit mealy-mouthed politician that will doom the UK! Same as Biden & all the pathetic "respectful" BS politicians US has while Trump gleefully slaughters lambs. Vote for someone w/balls to fight against Trump!

sk-lindsey.bsky.social•68 days ago

I truly hope the UK does not pussyfoot around Trump. We need a collective hard "NO" from Greenland's allies . It is critical you don't let this petulant, child, spoiled, revengeful brat run the world!!!

dominiccottrill.bsky.social•68 days ago

Is this guy really a minister of the UK govt?

Embarrassing

bthjf1.bsky.social•67 days ago

Truly amazing interview - Peter Kyle car crash ...

razzamatazz72.bsky.social•68 days ago

What if lewis does a mehdi hassan and pursues a career stateside? Writing is on the wall he seems to have been taken in by trump and the enormity of US politics

lalonip81.bsky.social•68 days ago

Literally a reality already. But why would the whitest substance in the world think otherwise?

garethglync.bsky.social•67 days ago

Once again Peter Kyle, spouts double speak and shows absolutely no principals when it comes to aggression from the US.

Just shows the quality of politicians we have representing us.

Wait until Trump asks Britain to hand over the Falklands to a South American proxy, let's say Argentina.

bella34.bsky.social•68 days ago

Peter Kyle - total sell out. Refuses to condemn Musk.

No point in voting Labour.

fennygoldfish.bsky.social•68 days ago

How about we just don't keep parroting every little thing he says. We know he's a narcissistic idiot, but we don't need to give him air time. Ignore him for the most part, report that he may have made a comment, then just carry on without giving him the pleasure of being the centre of attention.

useless gobshites.

sloanelysbeth.bsky.social•68 days ago

the man is a fascist.

you ‘centrists’ really need to pick a side bcos you can’t both-sides fascism.

mikereigns.bsky.social•68 days ago

They can and they do, cos they’ll profess to detest fascism but they’ll take it over socialism all day long.

peteturner.bsky.social•68 days ago

Labour are fast giving the impression that they're a long way out of their depth.

renewablesnow.bsky.social•67 days ago

Think the Tories would be crawling round Trump even worse though

peteturner.bsky.social•67 days ago

That's right - as long as we're clearing the high moral benchmark set by Kemi Badenoch and Jacob Rees Mogg everything's fine.

cafedelmarx.bsky.social•68 days ago

Brainless complacency from this no-mark Labour MP

scays.bsky.social•67 days ago

The lack of support for Greenland in this interview was shocking.

sallyinfrance.bsky.social•68 days ago

Really ?

freddies.bsky.social•68 days ago

Nonsense .Peter Kyle needs to get real.Trump is the controlled figure Head of a Constitution power grab by the Heritage Foundation and Oligachal fascism. The UK needs to protect it's security immediately .

supernovalabs.co.uk•68 days ago

So far behind the curve it is unreal, if this is a public statement to find a middle ground &thats it then fine, but they should be planning every eventuality fully right now. They can park the Joint Expeditionary Force there as a deterent but it kind of sounds like they're fauning with fascism.

gordonwright.bsky.social•68 days ago

Finding a "middle ground" with fascism is not "fine". 👀

supernovalabs.co.uk•68 days ago

That isn't what I said. They have to appear to be taking a middle ground while war gaming anti-fascism right now. Don't give everything away up front.

gordonwright.bsky.social•68 days ago

The more time people 'wargame' the more emboldened they will get though. So many voices after the election saying "it's all for show, judge on his actions". And here we are...

supernovalabs.co.uk•68 days ago

I agree

riverlorien.bsky.social•68 days ago

Let's hope that this is just 'diplomatic' govt speak and that ministers are taking it deadly seriously - and preparing responses with allies. Denmark needs to know that we're with them

arjafi.bsky.social•68 days ago

History sure is fucking rhyming a lot lately.

noternunstoned.bsky.social•68 days ago

Mr Kyle should remind himself that people like him - his predecessors in parliament - were being dismissive about the language used by Hitler in the 1930s.

ddonnelly.bsky.social•68 days ago

Gaslighting.

parrais.co.uk•68 days ago

peterjamieson.bsky.social•68 days ago

How many times? It's not the whiny orange man baby you should be worrying about ... it's the actual fascists and tech bros behind him.

cakeride.bsky.social•56 days ago

History has taught it’s better to judge what people will do by their standards , not yours …

mysticmarzipan.bsky.social•68 days ago

The eu uk and everyone else should rally to Greenland’s cause. America needs to be given a short share kick in the backside. For this I’d even say we need to approach china to side with us. That might make the USA take note. No one is powerful enough to withstand the whole world. Usa needs grounding
