Yes. If we don't move with Europe after Davos it has to be the end for Starmer.
But I suspect we will.

Trump is acting like an international gangster.
The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.

The Norwegians often demonstrate a refreshingly honest communication style.
The Norwegian government is staying fairly quiet for now, but as a sign of the shifting vibe here the former head of Norway’s armed forces has come out and called the US a “neo-fascist banana republic” and a “hostile great power without norms”. www.dn.no/politikk/tid...
Tidligere forsvarssjef om Trumps USA: – Neo-fascistisk bananrepublikk (+)
Tidligere forsvarssjef Sverre Diesen mener USA er blitt «en normløs og fiendtlig innstilt stormakt», og advarer samtidig mot å feste vår lit til Europa. Harald Sunde mener det haster med en plan B.

Trump demanding control of Greenland—which the US already has access to—is based on multi-layered lies. Threatening NATO allies to get it undermines the Western alliance.
I did a point-by-point breakdown of Trump's aggressive letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Støre about the Nobel and Greenland.

Donald Trump stated in his message to the Norwegian Prime Minister overnight:
"I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding"
It's wild that this was pretty much the least insane thing about it. And it's proper get-this-person-help-now stuff.

It’s truly a special kind of unhinged psychotic who will come up with “You didn’t give me the Nobel Peace Prize so I’m going to start World War 3.”

X for the propaganda, Bluesky for the correction
Untrue, of course. UK got lots of support, and never asked for military intervention. But it's not the South Atlantic Treaty Org. At US insistence to avoid colonial wars, NATO only covers Europe, N. America, and the Atlantic north of the Tropic of Cancer. e.g. Hawaii and Guam aren't covered, either.

Be good if those journalists who got quotes from Labour MPs about 'never here Keir' could go back and ask them how dumb they feel now. (I mean maybe they are actually that thick and stand by the comments 🤷♂️).

Nigel can't hide what he is. A mouthpiece for our strategic opponents. Should be the easiest politician ever to beat.

Actually the framed message as presented makes clear it's a symbol of gratitude, rather than an attempt to transfer the award.
It’s even more embarrassing than I imagined.
