if anyone wanted to violently kidnap Starmer and prosecute him for something random in your country, I'm afraid there's nothing we'd be able to do to stop you, since he's a lawyer and he says that's fine as long as the head of state is unpopular enough

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

Again: Trumpianism is conservatism that's sick of having to pretend it's not just naked racist will to power. They've got as far as they have by correctly working out there are no consequences for behaving like this, and they will continue until there are.
probably one ray of hope here. the fact that these guys are too lazy and imperious to manufacture consent, combined with their base's conspiratorial bent
They’ve been so bad at communicating reasons, even fake ones, for doing this that even your average low info American is like “probably Epstein stuff”

This is a joke of course. They also do it when they are very distressed that the countries might be leftist in some way.

Hi, American here. The US only topples other countries' leaders illegally when it's *very distressed* about how they have oil. 😕

The PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law.

This is what it is, to be led by the obedient vassals of a straightforwardly evil Empire. You are compelled to constantly look at the Emperor’s huge fat arse and pendulous ballsack and say: Truly, the Emperor’s new outfit is beautiful, regal and stately. Or, you find yourself another job.

It’s at least refreshing that they don’t bother to bullshit us about freedom and justice any more. Yes, we are getting rid of the Palestinians so we can build hotels on their land. Yes, we are collapsing this government so our companies can loot their resources. This is what it always was, mask off.
The Venezuelan government has been saying for decades it’s the victim of American aggression and sabotage because the US wants to steal its natural resources, so it’s clarifying that the US is now bombing the country while the President and senior officials say they are going to steal it’s resources

“A decent man” does not apologise for ripping off Enoch Powell, then rescind the apology and say that he meant it. And that’s before we get into criminalising protests against the genocide you are complicit in.

They’ve been active participants in and laundered a genocide, demonised asylum seekers, given their support for flag-shagging racists, taken support away from disabled people and are violently transphobic. Happy to help Duncan!
Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

If you can't understand why Starmer and co are so hated, you need to stop discussing politics and go do something easier, because this is really basic stuff.

This take is more accurate than anything you would read in a mainstream outlet. Yet instead we get open displays of cluelessness or takes that border on performative innocence.
If you hate your own members & voters then don’t be surprised if they hate you back.
Maybe telling your own members & voters they are scum whilst chasing racists who hate you because you’re not as hateful & racist as them isn’t a surefire way to get people to like you
