Trump's team says Starmer must choose between a closer relationship with the US or the EU
Telegraph ^ | Dec 17 | Tony Diver

The Telegraph understands that Mr Musk has significant concerns about the UK’s Online Safety Act, which requires social media companies including X – which he owns – to regulate their content.

Scrapping or amending the legislation may become a key request of Mr Trump when he enters trade negotiations with Britain next year.

Mr Trump’s team has warned that the UK must choose between a closer trade relationship with either the US or the EU, suggesting that talks could end with tariffs of up to 20 per cent on UK exports if the incoming president is not placated.

Mr Farage said that, during his visit to Mar-a-Lago, several of Mr Trump’s allies had asked him about Sir Keir’s decision to sign away the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, which some Republicans think will threaten the Diego Garcia airbase.

“I was able to assure them that the Chagos Islands’ surrender was not only wholly unnecessary but represented a bad deal for the United Kingdom, America, the free world and not least the Chagossian people,” he said. “I promise the Labour Government there is trouble ahead on this issue.”

No prizes for guessing which one Starmer will choose.

Do I get a prize for not giving a hoot?

His decision will be forced upon him by the English people, who will feel emboldened by Trump’s huge victory.

There’s not a supermajority there...there wasn’t here.

But there are probably 55 percent of English who are still sane...and that’s enough.

Maybe 60ish percent here are still sane :)

Rumor has it that Elon will be financing Nigel’s run for PM. Donnie and Nigel are tight, so among the three of them, we may see Nigel at Number 10!
