Russia in Global Affairs

Starmer might be unpopular, but the sad truth is anyone else would be. Britain is close to going ungovernable because the population are too impatient. They are desperate to see government working in earnest, as Starmer promised it would. Britain needs to have an honest conversation with itself about where it is going and how it will get there.

Unlike our American cousins, the UK dish out consequences to Jeffery Epstein’s associates. Damaging revelations from the Epstein Files showed a problematic friendship with Peter Mandelson, who briefly served as Britain’s Ambassador to the U.S. His former boss, Sir Keir Starmer, had a lot of explaining to do.

Starmer and Putin will speak sooner than we all expect. How soon is up to Starmer. It could depend on how much worse things get for his government. Rather than wait for doomsday, Starmer should recognise and use the spring in his jump on the world stage. It really would not hurt to give the Russian president a call. The alternative clearly has not achieved anything.

Labour is having a really bad time. Former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner recently resigned after a property tax scandal. Sir Keir Starmer has historically low approval ratings. Labour is also polling a distant second, and most of the UK is unsure what the party stands for. Scratch the surface a little and see that Labour is actually in a stronger position than the British media and most experts give it credit for.
