Starmer namechecking Trump is significant. He’s been very measured in his comments up to now. It seems like a sign he’s had enough and won’t be mincing words in the same way going forward.
To give him credit, if he’d reflexively refused to work with Trump from day 1, I think this change in posture would’ve had less impact. It’s precisely because he tried his best to work with the mad orange guy, AND it hasn’t worked, that his positioning on this is so plausible to the public.
We all are, sadly what ever treatment they keep giving him is going to artificially extend his life for a while.
Who destroyed Nord Stream 2..? Pretty sure it wasn’t Russia.
I’m glad that we’re finally being a little more honest.
While I’m against the world acting like monkeys flinging shit everywhere, at some point we also need to show our frustration at a mad man.
Hopefully next time, we don’t just mention the energy prices, but also all the innocent lives lost.
Then as a democratically elected politician who is the prime minister of this country and should act for the better of the electorate maybe do more about it than just be ‘fed up’ and continually tolerate insult after insult from Trump?
How about Israel Mr Starmer? Epstein? Mendelson? Rings a bell?
I can’t do his accent but “Yes the gas & electric bills for number 10 are horrendous”
Whilst it’s good he’s finally saying it I guess, it’s hardly a hot take
Nice to have a leader for once calling out the US for their mistakes. I can’t recall any PM from Blair to Sunak doing this, so it is very refreshing to hear.
Nice, but why won’t he cancel the King’s visit if he’s that fed up.
Glad to see him calling out Trump, but the more important question is what is he going to do about it.
In that case he should have a word with Milliband and at least try and mitigate it. E.g. reduce fuel duty, remove VAT ?
Funny that , because we are all fed up with Starmer
Then do something about it. That’s your Job!
Renationalise power, form a national wealth fund with what remains of our Oil and Gas and transition to Green Energy and Nuclear.
A shame it’s taken him this long to say so and he still won’t do anything new about it. Neither Trump nor Putin will change anything as a result of him saying this.
Its a chain of events that causes a problem, cant just keep lashing out at shi* when things go wrong. we should be ready for problems.
I suppose he drives around with no break down cover on his car, gets builders to do work when he has no money, I could go on……its a losers comment!
UK voters are going to be irate when the costs of living go up due to the petrochemical shock.
They will blame the government as usual.
A sensible politician will get out ahead of it, and talk about someone else being really to blame.
He is completely right though. „Trump and Putin“ and their sort _are_ to blame. For the oil price part of it, anyway.
It is not an exaggeration to say that all out war could be the catalyst for total environmental collapse, food shortages, mass extinction and death on a huge scale.
On that basis, being fed up is not an appropriate statement in terms of outrage. I am fed up of watching total global collapse due to psychotic global leaders with plans for territorial expansion and profit.
I refuse to believe if civilised world leaders really cared enough about life and not about simply taking lobbyists money, they couldn’t prevent this, they absolutely could.
The greed of strangers might kill my family and the bloke who could contribute to preventing this is just chucking his hands in the air.
Starmer needs to commit to doing something proactive about it. In reality, all efforts should be focused on building nuclear power (not „green“ power) so the UK no longer has a dependency on foreign power sources.
Ideally we’d restructure European and other international relations to minimise both America and Russia(militarily and economically) but in reality it’s too late to do this so we’re stuck with this current dynamic until something world changing happens.
A strong leader would have put his foot down sooner and had some mettle rather than leaning on faux diplomacy. We do not need America. We need to build self-reliance and lean on our existent and current EU partnerships, rather than stay aligned with a state that froths at mouth constantly. Staying aligned with America is a security risk.
Some people use words like blame-shifting, projecting, scapegoating, deflecting, etc
I prefer… cunt.
Ok, so let’s get the ball rolling towards the UK being energy independent then.
Such a strongly worded sentence, if only there was a way to predict that something like this might happen and start moving the needle on nuclear energy… oh wait!
Do you think Starmer realises how fed of him we are?!!
Starmer is rubbing his hands with glee he has someone else to blame high energy costs on, when they were sky high even before this war.
I tell you what, my respect for him has gone up with this. Trump has relentlessly mocked him for the best part of 6-weeks – it’s about time Starmer stood up to him.
I’m absolutely certain this will spell much closer, more formal relations with Europe now. I think it’s time we swallow some pride and look to rejoin, apologise for the fiasco and move forward with our true allies.
I didn’t vote Labour last election but Starmer is growing on me. Won’t have an issue voting for him now if he’s more likely to stop Reform in a few years.
I think regarding Trump he has done everything right, but sometimes despite that you won’t get the outcomes we wanted.
Glad he’s named him directly now.
You can’t have the benefits of global trade without being subject to global factors.
Also, whilst it was absolutely the right thing to do, the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was OUR choice, we chose to stop buying Russian oil and gas and to, by necessity, pay higher prices for what was available elsewhere (including increasing European dependence on American LNG and oil).
Iran has chosen to block free maritime shipping for neutral nations through a vital international water way. Why not name check the Iranian leadership too?
Seriously, lets focus on our own energy infrastructure. And blocking foriegn social media companies from influencing our general public and corrupting our kids and we can get back on track.
Those two things will heal society. More nuclear and solar energy to bring energy costs down and while social media propaganda is trickier to address maybe a british funded no polictics social media platform could compete. Somewhere for people to just be social again away from political soundbites and ads for subscriptions.
Hmmm… I’m fed up with Starmer… and Trump… and Putin… and Netanyahu… and the list goes on…
I’m not the biggest fan of Kier Stramer but his handling of Trump has been exactly what I would expect from a PM. Calm, and considered.
Well then let’s stop pricing electricity according to the price on the international market and pay what our own electricity actually costs, and keep ramping up on renewables. Solar and wind like the Hornsea 3 Wind farm coming in is absolutely fantastic and we need to keep it up.
