Brian Kilmeade thinks that Trump should go on the road and promote his administration as if he was running for office. The president hasn't messaged well on the affordability crisis. He might find lying to voters about things like grocery prices won't help win over voters.

I suspect Starmer's instinct has always been for incremental reintegration with the EU but the country (& the Gov) can't wait. He either needs to move now or lose the next GE. Why does he always have to follow rather than lead public opinion?
