Why Starmer must stand up to Trump

VAMPIRE squid Donald Trump grabbing Venezuela with his greedy tentacles is proof that this dangerous tinpot tyrant is a global threat... and no friend of Great Britain.

- KEVIN MAGUIRE

The bloodsucking predator seizing a sovereign country with the world’s largest proven oil reserves to run the land as a USA colony deserves unqualified condemnation.

So Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch dodging censure, or fan boy Nigel Farage applauding American imperialism, is deeply dispiriting with only Ed Davey and Zack Polanski having the guts as heads of major national political parties to call out Trump’s naked aggression.

Because unhinged Trump is endangering global security, unilaterally kidnapping Venezuela’s deeply unsavoury leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, trampling all over international law.
