Loading ...UK – How Trump victory leaves Starmer isolated on the world stage
Analysis: With the UK out of the EU and a highly hostile White House administration across the Atlantic, no British prime minister has been more isolated in modern history
With Donald Trump securing a crushing victory over Kamala Harris in the US presidential election, Keir Starmer’s dream of a social democratic, centre-left version of the famous Thatcher/ Reagan partnership between Downing Street and the White House is in tatters.
Instead, the prime minister is now faced with a US administration he is not just far away from ideologically, but one which is openly hostile to a Labour government that Trump’s campaign team previously described as “far left”.
Even if Kamala had won, the Brits would be toast. Divided population politically. divided population culturally, divided population economically! It means they are fucked. It’s Coronation Street in subtitles!
