Of course 1000%. Keir Starmer and the UK are now in a very weak position because of BREXIT. Starmer and others know this. I bet privately they are panicking. Yet even now Starmer and Labour can't distance themselves from Trump and the US. Extraordinary! A fatal mistake!

If Labour won’t nationalise water, their “big overhaul” is a con. Sewage in our rivers. Bills going up. Profits protected. Public services should be in public hands.
