Emmanuel Macron has no problem criticising Trump.
What's stopping Starmer from finding a backbone?
It's time to stop sucking up to Trump, and pivot at warp speed back to Europe.

JUST IN: Canada just drew a hard line. Prime Minister Mark Carney made it clear: Article 5 is not optional and Denmark is not standing alone. Canada is backing Denmark and Greenland while the U.S. openly talks annexation. This is a warning. Allies see it, and they’re done pretending this is normal.

An incredible ancient feat of sheet-goldworking, beaten from a single gold ingot some 3,600 years ago!
