Or, worse still, in 1940 when Britain stood alone against Hitler. As Trump said last night, sitting in front of a bust of our greatest PM, Starmer is 'no Churchill'. For the US President was putting it mildly. Not content with wrecking the economy, Starmer has now wrecked Britain's relationship with our closest ally – because he's in thrall to the international lawyer class, terrified of his own left-wing MPs and desperate to appease Muslim voters. He's a national embarrassment. | By Mark Nicol and Martin Beckford | DONALD Trump last night launched another withering attack on Keir Starmer, dismissing him as no 'Church ill'. In a major blow to the Special Relationship, the US President said he was 'not happy with the UK' and branded it 'very, very uncooperative'. Turn to Page Six
