Problem is we'd need a politician with something resembling a backbone.
Labour specifically selected one without as having one would have meant purging either the Traditional Labour members or Momentum.
Tories seem to want to to jump into bed with Trump at this point, (Even Republicans are more critical of Trump than anything I've heard from the Tories).
The Liberals would need something resembling a plan to appear credible.
Well, I'm no fan of Keir Starmer, but maybe and hopefully this could even be the making of him... I don't envy any PM who has to navigate this situation, and maybe he will do it well. I'd be very surprised to find anyone supporting Trump atm, even Tories... certainly not some of my family, who are staunch Tories... and even Farage might have trouble justifying his love for Trump at this point. I'm very curious about that; the last time I saw him talking about Trump, when being asked about Trump claiming Zelenskyy started the war, he looked decidedly edgy and went on to to say not to take Trump literally (the last recourse of someone losing an argument)... and that was quite a while ago... so yeah, I'm very curious to see how he'd respond to these latest events.
