Trump isn’t over the line yet, but Starmer seems confident enough that Trump has won.

Really awful. Starmer could congratulate Trump without indulging him.

Realistically perhaps Britain just needs partners, with the US of course being a major partner (Five Eyes for example).

If we weren’t so closely tied to the US then maybe Starmer could be making a statement similar to that of Macron and Scholz today:

Germany, France vow close cooperation after US election… “We will work in this new context for a more united, stronger, more sovereign Europe…”

We all know it’s over at this point though.

God help the world. This is all just a big game to some people.

It’s impressive that Jonathan Ashworth managed to lose two elections on two separate continents in one year.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
