Many in the Labour Party privately hope it is Kamala Harris who wins
The official line is that Keir Starmer has been preparing for Donald Trump’s possible return some time “He talked about British politics. Like, you know, why is there no Conservative Party? Things like that. You know, elected as conservatives, governed as liberals,” Farage said, referring to a call he made to Trump soon after an assassination attempt on his life at his Florida golf course last month. “And we talked a bit about the Prime Minister, our new Prime Minister …..
The implication was clear – Trump has at the very minimum mixed views when it comes to the state of the main parties in British politics. What’s more, should Trump triumph in next month’s, Starmer may have to get used to learning what the president thinks from Farage’s media appearances rather than his own ambassador. Only one is likely to have Trump’s personal number on speed dial.
This week, Labour aides are grappling with what a Trump return would mean in practise. The official line is that Keir Starmer has been preparing for this eventuality for some time. His Foreign Secretary,, has been on a Damascene conversion – pivoting from leading a protest as a back bench MP against Trump being offered a state visit to spending over a yearlong before he was announced as Trump’s pick for vice-president.
However, the bigger problem goes beyond party politics. Ultimately Trump at times liked both Theresa May and Boris Johnson. Yet speak to the aides working in Downing Street at the time and they will say the relationship was. Aides who work for May like to tell the story of when he spoke to her on the phone and thought the call had ended. Trump then went on to share some thoughts about her – not realising they were still on the line.
