Keir Starmer should stand up to 'unreliable ally' Donald Trump, Ed Davey says
Sir Keir Starmer should be prepared to have a Love Actually moment and stand up to Donald Trump, the leader of the Liberal Democrats has suggested.
Sir Ed Davey said the Prime Minister should take a more robust stance against the US president who has proven himself to be a “totally unreliable” ally.
Strange chaps, Ed and Keir. Ed Davey seems to have no intention of ever venturing beyond the politics of stunts and playground rhetoric. It's jet skis and falling off paddle boards every time with Ed, but maybe the real puzzle is that people vote for him.
Or maybe it isn't a puzzle. Perhaps Lib Dem voters are ahead of the game and already know that political leaders are actors and merely part of the show, not people anyone should take seriously.
Ed delivers that quite well, the 'don't take me seriously folks' act.

I don't expect Ed Davey would be any better at 'standing up' to Trump. It's far easier shouting advice from the touchline though. Hopefully (for the rest of us) I don't expect Ed Davey will be called upon.
This is like the primary 2 school wimp standing behind his slightly less wimpy class mate facing the primary 6 school bully and whispering in his less wimpy ear, " Go on. You can beat the shit out of him. He is all bluff. "
Two 'Eds' [Davey and Milliband] are not better than one.
DJ - yes it's Ed Davey's major freedom, from the touchline he can shout out anything which seem to suit the political moment, plausible or not. He seems to enjoy it too, never mind the futility.
Doonhamer - it is just like that "Go on, I'll hold your coat, he's not really that big."
DAD - good point, it's like having two earaches instead of one.
".....a Love Actually moment...."
Has the numpty Davey ever seen that film? Betrayal and marriage infidelities are just part of the scenario. Still, I feel it should sit well with him, considering the betrayals he, allegedly, allowed as Post Office minister. How many bankruptcies? How many suicides? How many family breakups? How can anyone, apart from residents in lunatic asylums, take anything this idiot says, seriously?

Penseivat - that's it isn't it? Waved away a serious, damaging foul-up and still wants to be taken seriously. It makes the thing worse when Lib Dem voters do take him seriously.
