Well it’s only Thursday but this week alone has shown why Starmer is head and shoulders above Badenoch and Farage.
Badenoch has shown such poor political instincts and character with regards to Chagos and Farage basically wishes Greenland was part of the USA.
Both palpably unfit to lead Britain.

You are badly misinterpreting this. She is asking rhetorical questions. As in, is there really an alternative? What would you (I assume those who argued for detaching from the US) want us to do? All of those things? But it is said with the understanding that those are ludicrous.
