#KierStarmer

Good government is, I think, in a position of trust. Whether you compare that to a parent or teacher, or to the trustee of a charity, the same principle applies. As a trustee they must balance short term wants and needs with long term interests.

While this #UKLabour government is a definite improvement, and certainly less self-serving, I remain unconvinced that they have or can attain that balance. I don't particularly like #RachelReeves and disagree with her on several key policies, but I think she is taking a longer term view than just the next election cycle, which is something I definitely respect. She is the only one I feel able to say that about. #KierStarmer has compromised on too many things, which I'm very disappointed about, but I'm pleased to see him taking a firmer position with #Trump about #Ukraine.

Oh shit. Kier Starmer's performance in the white house was just arse licking to get (only) a tech/AI deal with the US. 🤢

Not only did he bend the knee to a fascist, he then toured the offices of #Palantir 🤦

"The UK has told the US it could become a European hub for American companies’ data centers, outside of EU regulation."

If that happens I'm moving to Europe. But not Ireland, they've already disgraced themselves in that sphere.

OMG. His bullying, rudeness, and complete lack of decorum really show here.
If you watch the longer conference, the press asked Starmer, not Trump, a question about Canada, and Trump jumped in and started blathering on first.
