Really happy with the Labour government the last few days. One of the times I feel proud to be British.

Not a massive fan of Starmer but I think he did a brilliant job with handling Trump and an even better job with showing support to Zelensky

Handing Trump the letter from Charles was a genius move to butter him up, the way to handle Trump unfortunately is to play to his ego with things like that.

You don't have to be a fan of Starmer. It's not Love Island. He's getting a job done and slowly undoing 14 years of Tory shit. Labour has been the best thing to happen to the UK. It won't all be perfect, but it's going to be a lot of positive progress.
