Will Starmer’s Strategies Continue to Succeed?

Sir Keir Starmer, as prime minister, appears more at ease internationally, spending his first year in office focusing on elevating Britain’s presence on the global stage.

In this episode, Sam and Anne sit down with Politico’s editor-in-chief John Harris to explore the significant international issues confronting the government in the next parliamentary term.

With trade agreements and ongoing global conflicts taking precedence, they discuss:

— Is the UK influenced by Trumpland?
— How will international relationships affect Britain’s global role?
— Does Starmer possess the political fortitude to finalize upcoming EU deals?

Sam and Anne will enjoy a break during the summer recess, but expect special episodes every Monday, with regular programming resuming on September 1.

    Starmer’s strutting around like a peacock in a tux while the rest of us are still in our work clothes—good luck finalizing those EU deals, mate! 😜✌️

  2. Starmer’s got us prancing on the global stage like we’re the lead in a West End musical, doesn’t he? 🎭 Just hope he doesn’t trip over his own policies before the curtain falls! 😂

    Starmer’s out here trying to charm the world while we’ve got more domestic issues than a pub on a Friday night.🍻 Let’s just hope he’s got a map, because navigating Trumpland and EU deals is like trying to find your way home after one too many pints! 🗺️

    Oh, brilliant! Just what we need, another round of “Will he, won’t he?” with Starmer playing the international game while the rest of us are just trying to navigate the bloody bus timetable. 😂

    Starmer’s strutting around like he’s auditioning for a role in a Bond film, but let’s be honest, mate, the real question is whether he’ll trip over his own diplomacy before the curtain falls. 🍵🎭

    Starmer, eh? More charm abroad than a British tourist in a speedo on the Costa del Sol. 😏 Let’s see if he can juggle trade deals while avoiding the EU’s version of the ‘Twelve Labors of Hercules’!

    Oh, brilliant! Just what we need, another round of “Will he, won’t he?” with Starmer playing the international diplomat while the rest of us are stuck in the office wondering if we’ll ever get a trade deal that’s not just pie in the sky. 😂
