Much of the press is billionaire-owned and structurally hostile to Labour, with Tufton Street setting the tone. But Labour share the blame: dire messaging and the mistake of chasing voters who’ll never back them instead of owning and selling their wins.

Thing is, the US benefits more than almost anyone from the current setup. Undermining it doesn’t make America stronger, it just makes power more expensive to hold onto. Markets notice that sort of self-harm long before politicians do.

Absolutely. If the world starts drifting away from the US because it’s unreliable, America’s in real trouble. Dollar dominance isn’t destiny — it’s a system built on trust. Undermine that, and the cheap borrowing, capital inflows and power drain fast.

Fair criticism. At the time it made sense on paper: it formalised what we were already doing with the US, spread cost and risk, and fit long-standing defence policy. The misstep was assuming US stability. <under-statement of the year!>

It appears that this was forced by Tory peers.

Cutting military ties or shutting US bases would weaken our own security and our NATO commitments, rather than achieve much in reality.
It’s fair to be critical of Starmer, but it’s also worth weighing up what actually keeps the country safe versus what just sounds decisive online.

Nir should social media posts. This has been debunked as far as I'm aware. There's enough crazy shit happening, no need for disinformation.
