Prime Minister Mark Carney joined British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the leaders of several other centre-left governments at a conference in London on Friday where much of the discussion revolved around how to tackle the rise of the far-right and deal with U.S. President Donald Trump.
The day-long Global Progress Action Summit focused on a range of issues including immigration, how to regulate artificial intelligence and election strategies for progressive parties. The summit has been organized by a collection of left-leaning groups, including the Center for American Progress, which has ties to past Democratic administrations, and Labour Together, a British think tank that is largely associated with the Labour Party.
Mr. Carney participated in a panel discussion with Mr. Starmer and Prime Ministers Anthony Albanese of Australia and Kristrun Frostadottir of Iceland.
Mr. Starmer, whose Labour government has been struggling after sweeping to power just over a year ago, addressed the rising popularity of the the Reform Party in Britain. Led by Nigel Farage, Reform has been leading most opinion polls for months by concentrating largely on policies to control immigration.
Mr. Starmer also noted a large far-right rally that took place in London earlier this month, which attracted around 100,000 people. The message from many in that rally was a “poisonous belief” that “that there is a coming struggle, a defining struggle, a violent struggle for the nation, for all our nations,” Mr. Starmer told the audience. “And you don’t have to be a great historian to know where that kind of poison ends up.”
He added that Britain was at a crossroads. “The battle of our times is between patriotic national renewal under a Labour government, versus something which is turning into a toxic divide,” he said.

Funny, they are not worried about the Islamic threat.

I been thinin’ther’s a bucket of feathers, a bucket of tar, and a log split rail. Why? I dunno, ‘cause that means that its your country, not mine!
They’re scared spitless.
Never has been.
“No nation has allies. Only interests’’.- Napoleon.
That is Communism.
Do what you are told or we will shoot you.
They are scared spitless - and in charge.
Sounds a lot like Jim Jones, and that did not turn out so well.
Keir Starmer, the representative of the country with which we have this “unbreakable special relationship” considers us a threat.
It is time to tell them you are no longer special, you backstabbed us (with respect to Palestine, etc.), so get in line with all the other looser countries, no more special relationship with you!.
An American group conspiring with a foreign governmental group to "deal with" President Trump?
Oh, like digital IDs for everyone? Sounds Orwell like to me. So,....🖕
If you can’t beat your political opponents, lock them up.

WTF?
Let the EU rot with no more help from the US.
“Center-left” vs. “far-right.”
The only threat from the “Far Right” is that they might post a meme or say something out loud that might be true.
Hordes of muzzie savages no threat loyal British citizens big threat.
,,, hyper dangerous if all those issues can be solved in a day.
The biggest threat to meaningful and happy human existence is totalitarianism, and the left is the fastest path to totalitarianism. People like Starmer and Carney actually think they are smarter and wiser than most others, and that they should define how the rest of us live. That is what every dictator and aspiring dictator believed/believes.
