There’s no way Starmer himself would go with this line if asked this question.
Which means they’re putting out his spokesman underbriefed and underprepared. This was a cardinal sin of Number 10’s comms during the Theresa May era, was woeful then and is woeful now.

Asked repeatedly about Donald Trump calling Sadiq Khan "disgusting" and suggesting that he was only elected because of immigrants, Keir Starmer's spokesman says only that the PM has a "strong relationship" with the President which has "yielded positive results for this country"

The number of Labour MPs who have strong, informed views on growth and what drives it is much smaller, which is why the government's growth mission is in such a mess, because No 10's natural caution and aversion to doing anything difficult has no strong countervailing pressure.

1/Quick thoughts of implications of US National Security Strategy for Europe -- weaponized interdependence meets nationalist international. The US will use its tools (economic, technology, and financial dominance) to press for far right agenda.

5/The reason it seems so confusing is this is not about a specific dispute. It is an attempt to shift the underling principles of the international system to what @segoddard.bsky.social call neo-royalism -- a system based not on rules but hyper elite interests.
