The 🇬🇧 UN delegation and Starmer surely weren't pleased about Trump's take aways from his UK visit:

1️⃣ London wants to go to sharia law.
2️⃣ Starmer slammed with “Oh, the North Sea, I know it so well,”; “Three days in a row, that’s all he heard, North Sea oil, North Sea.”

The MAGA mob routinely rages about imaginary “socialist” threats, yet they’re perfectly fine when Trump censors and bullies US media into obedience in true USSR- or China-style fashion.
President Donald Trump told reporters Thursday that “97%” of some network coverage was negative toward him.

“They give me only bad publicity or press,” Trump said. “They’re getting a license, I think maybe their license should be taken away. It’s up to Brendan Carr.” https://to.pbs.org/4nDxWRg

Chris Christie observed recently that Trump has torn down the traditional barrier between the president’s personal ambitions and the DOJ's power to investigate & prosecute criminal wrongdoing.

As if to prove Christie’s point, Trump publicly threatened to prosecute Christie just a few hours later.
The Supreme Court greenlit Trump’s political prosecutions—even the ones that are illegal
Thanks, John Roberts.

At a time when Jeremy Corbyn is rebranding himself with a new party as the cure for all political and economic ills, it’s worth remembering that — alongside Farage and Johnson — he was one of the key players who made Brexit happen. However much his fans delusionally deny it.
