You can't 'build a relationship with a narcissist' ! They remain totally arrogant and self-centred, and just think you are weak. The world must unite and prevent Trump from annexing Greenland. He has gone too far. Time to stand up to him, and for America to see how he is alienating them, and get rid

Starmer begins pushback against Trump as president threatens tariffs over Greenland
The prime minister has worked hard to build a special relationship with Donald Trump, but that relationship has become decidedly abusive.

We threw away such a lot for that not-so “special relationship”.
A more confident nation, with more honest politicians, would admit it and make amends with Europe. This is all such bullshit.

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.
It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.
Disastrous strategy by Labour.

No. It will end well. The voters will see through this ragged band of self serving grifters and turn away from them. They are unfit to govern. Consign them to the political dustbin, and move on.

Jenrick defection to Reform is the end of him. Farage already struggles to contain more than one outsized ego in his parliamentary party. Certainly no room for anything the size of Robert's inflated sense of self-worth.

Starmer, in supporting the genocidal Israeli state seemed to demonstrate some sort of backbone. But where has it disappeared to now faced with a rogue expansionist, colonialist power that is flouting international law and threatens many sovereign states around the world including NATO members?

That would be lovely, but who is going to do it? Nobody with any power is standing up to the Trump administration. He laughs at his opponents and carries on his megalomaniac agenda regardless.

The US attack on Venezuela is an illegal act of aggression against a sovereign country (with lots of oil). Venezuela has become a more deeply repressive dictatorship & urgently needs democratic solution but this is unjustified & unjustifiable. Look forward to seeing swift UK Government condemnation.

Even if Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuela’s future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise.
Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA.
How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way?

Trump is now so deranged and arrogant that he thinks he can kidnap any leader that he doesn't like of another sovereign country, take him back to America, and accuse him in an American court on 'Trumped up' charges without evidence. No doubt the craven legal system will then find him guilty.
The PM and Foreign Secretary should be condemning this illegal strike and breach of international human rights law.
After years of arming a genocide and worshipping the “special relationship”, Trump now believes he can act with impunity.

And with gun ownership so prevalent, civil war will be bloody.
When the U.S. uses the military against citizens, attacks immigrants, and executes people who pose no threat, it jeopardizes our national security because it incites violence, invites retaliation, normalizes fascism, and sets precedence for others to follow suit. Trump is endangering America.
