  3. How long for? Trump is infamous for keeping to his side of a deal until the wind ruffles his hair. We’ll probably be “too woke” by the weekend and be forced into his 50% tariffs because we don’t allow guns or something stupid

  5. As long as trump looks like he’s made a good deal (a tremendous deal), he can sell his own grandmother to the UK and allow sir Kier to tred on his balls, as part of the trade deal, and the MAGAverse will praise him as a master negotiator and genius.

  6. I only care if it benefits my country, if it does then trump is fine by me, I’m sick of having to get involved in stuff that doesn’t effect me or my country, it’s the same in my normal life, if my family and friends are OK, and the area I work and live in is alright, that I’m just not bothered anymore about things that don’t effect me, I’m sure some will think I’m terrible for that, but there is nothing anybody can do outside there own little sphere of influence, wearing a rubber wrist band, signing an online petition , getting outraged about something read , is pointless, concentrate on your own little bit, and everything will actually work out

  9. This is Starmer’s Neville Chamberlain “peace for our time” photo remade as “he gets his piece” as we drop our pants for Trump.

  11. Except 15 seconds later he’ll hate us and change it.

  12. The usual crowd assmad about deals being made

    Trade deals and the grooming inquiry within a year of government instead of after 14 years, and they’re still whining.

  14. This week maybe. Next week he’ll probably be complaining about the deal and blaming Obama and Biden for signing it.

  16. Well done to whoever got this done on our end but really, the reason being “Because i like them” is to typical of that administration.

  17. Yeah because we are spending shitloads of money sending jets to fucking Iran.

  19. Respect for Starmer for getting us there.

    Especially after the initial problem with Labour volunteers campaigning for Harris (maybe in hopes she wins). Starmer got some good wins from the Orange Psycho while being on the other end of the political spectrum… Conservatives and Reform must be extremely annoyed about his wins 🫣

  20. At what cost?

    Maybe we need to support the coup when he goes for his third term and needs military aid.

    Pardoning prince Andrew?

  21. Sucking up has been a valid strategy for dealing with a US president since Monica Lewinsky.

  22. He’ll change his mind after balloons gate round two

    cried last time “why don’t they like me, why have they made those horrid balloons”

    looking forward to showing him exactly what free speech looks like when he comes for his visit

  23. Fair play. Id rather be in the maniacs good books then not

  25. People in here making jokes. But this isn’t new? He’s also been a bit of britophile

  26. It sucks to say this but Britain was always going to be much better off under Trump than any Democrat president. Trump is a massive Teaboo while the democrats always treated us relatively poorly and in some cases openly antagonistically.
