Senior Labour figures are urging Keir Starmer to take a leaf out of Donald Trump’s book and make more frequent media appearances in an attempt to dominate the political agenda as the US president does.
MPs told the Guardian they want the prime minister to act more like Trump, who has upended political convention by televising large parts of his cabinet, holding long bilateral meetings on camera and calling in to live television shows.
Definitely, I agree wholeheartedly. But it is unfortunately a model that is working. The whole Simpson thing…was it “if poochie is not in an episode, people should ask where’s poochie”. Trump dominates every square inch of world wide media. Starmer in this instance would do right by emulating that.
And yes, be strong. We need at this moment in time an “Iron Sir” (in reference to thatchers Iron Lady) for all the reasons you said. He needs to be strong, give actual two fingers to trump and solidly lead Britain into the future. There’s a golden opportunity here to spearhead a new collation and get us back in with the EU on favourable terms with the populace by getting ahead of the right wing and pushing the narratives back left. Facts over Fiction needs to prevail and win the hearts and minds of the nation who so easily lap up misinformation.
“Iron Knight”?
Iron Bro would probably go down well with the kids haha
