‘Trump’s done 100 things in one day and Starmer still hasn’t done anything. We need a Trump’
As someone who conducts focus groups for a living, I was hardly surprised by the poll this week that showed that so many British voters back Donald Trump’s agenda on issues such as migration and free speech...
That’s partly because of the state of public disaffection when it comes to successive governments’ handling of those issues in Britain.
But my lack of surprise was down to something else too. It has become clear from the work I do that many British voters admire Trump’s approach – on policy but, more importantly, on what amounts to his sheer determination.
It is no great stretch to say that Starmer and his unedifying crew hoped Kamala Harris would defeat Donald Trump in the recent US Presidential Election. We know why too, and now that reason has been hammered home good and hard. Compared to Trump, Starmer doesn't even manage to come in as third rate.
As this Telegraph piece suggests, Trump's energy, determination and headline policies seem to attract widespread political approval here in the UK, in spite of years of negative media bias towards him. A better man than Starmer would see this and resign, taking Reeves with him.

Apart from all the photo-opportunities and speeches - basically reminders that they are in power - I'm not sure what they actually do all day.
My dread of a government of social workers headed by a second rate lawyer has sadly come true. Sigh.
Sam - I imagine the minions keep them busy reading things they don't need to read, signing papers they shouldn't sign, meeting people they should avoid.
Tammly - and they wouldn't be there without the inadequacies of the party system which seems to have turned senile.
I keep telling Americans, via their blogs, that their country is an elective monarchy. They bridle but they are now enjoying the benefits of that system because, unusually, the monarch is on their side.
dearieme - it would be a useful system over here, but voters would elect a spiv who isn't on our side - Blair for example.
