This shows Starmer’s approach to Trump has failed. The Chagos Deal was sold as proof the government could work with him, now it’s falling apart.
It's time for the government to stand up to Trump; appeasing a bully never works.

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.

Weak, weak, weak. This appeasement must end.
Starmer should be uniting with our allies against Trump's threats, not splitting off to suck up to him.

The government must work with our European partners on retaliatory measures to hit Trump and his cronies where it hurts, unless he drops these tariffs.
It's time to show that Britain stands with our allies and we won’t be bullied into submission.

The PM must tell Trump in no uncertain terms: if he goes ahead with these outrageous tariffs and continues to bully Greenland, there’ll be no state visit to the US in April.
The UK must not be a doormat for an extortionist, or reward Trump’s behaviour with the pageantry he craves.

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.
Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

Starmer’s US policy lies in tatters. Trump is now punishing the UK and NATO allies just for doing the right thing.
Time for the PM to stand firm against the bully in the White House, and work with European and Commonwealth allies to make him back down from this reckless plan.

Starmer needs to finally stand up to Trump.
He should visit Greenland and show the world that Britain stands with NATO and stands with our allies when it matters.

Keir Starmer failed to answer my question at PMQs, so today I’ve written to his minister to demand action.
She should strip South East Water of their licence immediately.
Thousands of people are still without water. The Government has no time to lose.

It’s good that Elon Musk has backed down in the face of consequences.
But he must still be held to account for what he is: a purveyor of child pornography.

We need to sanction the awful regime in Iran and freeze Iranian assets in London.
But the world would take Donald Trump's concerns over the brutal murder of protesters in Iran more seriously if his government stopped murdering protesters in Minnesota.

Imagine waiting 31 hours in A&E for a hospital bed, stuck on a plastic chair. That’s what Sandra faced at 71 with bladder cancer.
And she's not alone, hundreds of thousands routinely wait 12+ hours for a bed. So why isn't Keir Starmer backing our plan to end 12 hour waits?

Farage backed Boris Johnson's disastrous Brexit deal and Liz Truss's catastrophic mini-budget.
No wonder he’s welcoming Nadhim Zahawi, someone who enthusiastically supported both.

No Kemi, Trump threatening to invade a NATO ally is not a "second order issue."
It’s a direct challenge to Britain’s security and the future of NATO.

The UK should offer to send troops to Greenland as part of a joint NATO operation under Danish and UK command.
If Trump is serious about security, he'd agree to participate and drop his outrageous threats.
Tearing the NATO alliance apart would only play into the hands of Putin.

It’s time we started taking Trump’s threats seriously.
God forbid if Greenland is attacked, the UK should immediately sanction the Trump Organization and think twice about whether we want US forces on our soil at all.

Donald Trump says climate change is a “hoax” and a “con job”.
But at the same time the US position is that they need Greenland because the melting Arctic ice is creating a security risk.
At this point, I think it’s pretty clear who the real con artist is.

The Foreign Secretary must come to parliament on Monday and explain what the international community is going to do to assist the peaceful protesters.

Labour want to divert taxpayers money from our public services to pay for their mandatory Digital ID scheme.
The Lib Dems fought against Labour’s ID plans before and won, and we can do it again.
