Is Great Britain on the brink of a Trump revolution?
The president’s visit to the United Kingdom this week coincides with signs Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government is crumbling.
Starmer’s own party increasingly thinks he has to go — and if Labour fares as poorly as polls presently suggest it will in local elections next May, Starmer will be out.
If he even lasts that long: Scandals have taken out three of his key aides and allies already this month.
The British right, meanwhile, is showing new signs of vigor.
Up to 150,000 people flocked to London last weekend for the hard-right activist Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” rally.
But perversely, Robinson might be the best friend Labour has — the one man who can divide the right severely enough to keep Britain’s anti-populist left in power.
And egging Robinson on is an American billionaire who has thought about splitting conservatives in this country, too: Elon Musk.
Britain is a battlefield — not only between left and right, populists and insiders, but also between bitterly opposed factions on each side.
The makings of a Trump-style political revolution were plain to see in the triumph of Brexit nine years ago.
Britain’s departure from the European Union was a harbinger of a change sweeping the West, as working-class voters almost everywhere began turning against liberal leaders and parties.
Unfortunately for Britain, its Conservative Party wasn’t prepared to remake itself the way the Republican Party here did under Trump.
Even as the Tories remained in power, they failed to find a leader who could wield it effectively — and Conservative prime ministers came and went like contestants on “The Apprentice.”

“Here lies Keir Starmer’s political career. And why not?”
The Republican party did not remake itself. After Trump, it will go right back to "wide stance" warmongering neoconmanship with low taxes and uncharismatic hedge fund managers.
Daniel McCarthy does not sound too bright.
Go, Tommy. Go, British Patriots!
No bias in this story, no siree.
What makes you think taxes will be low?
The only one who wants controlled federal spending is Trump.
Good point.
The Author uses 150,000 people lie. Everyone knows it was way more. Daniel must be just another liberal media hack
Maybe Eric or Don Jr. Should run then.
I wish Trump would go figuratively nuclear on Starmer and mass immigration on the visit. Or bring JD and have him do it.
I get it...statesmanship and decore etc. so it probably won’t happen (especially with William buttering Trump up) but it needs to.
Vance is a terrific, logical speaker and great debater. He’d get those idiot Brits to send all the Muslims back where they came from.
Good. I can visualize Wanker Starmer as Wile E. Coyote walking on air for a second and then dropping off the cliff.
