Starmer ‘missing opportunity of a lifetime’ by charming EU instead of Trump, warns Rees-Mogg
Sir Keir Starmer is “missing the opportunity of a lifetime” by prioritising relations with the European Union instead of Donald Trump and the US, according to Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg.
The Tory former business secretary said the EU is at best in a state of “managed decline” while the US is in the economic ascendancy...
"Under this Labour government, we are destined to a miserable fate of low growth, high tax, extortionate energy prices and debilitating regulation and bureaucracy. With Trump back in office, by realigning with the EU, Starmer is missing the opportunity of a lifetime, of a generation.
The word 'managed' may be a little optimistic, but Rees-Mogg's take on it seems sound, the EU is going nowhere worthwhile. Yes it's still a gravy train for those who benefit from it, but as Rees-Mogg says, backing the EU is opting for managed decline.
A political litmus test which will disappear in the ebb and flow of news and as the US prepares for a Trump presidency. But it's a test to remember as Starmer's government places its bets and our future on yet another lame horse.
