The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Starmer has demonstrated impressive leadership as Prime Minister in recent weeks, skillfully navigating global crises with a calm, strategic approach. His steady handling of tensions with Ukraine and the NATO alliance — particularly in managing Trump's unpredictable stance — shows his resilience and tact. Starmer’s ability to balance diplomacy with strength makes him the right leader for these turbulent times.

Establishment-critical narrative

The last few weeks are not a saving grace for Starmer's premiership. For the Left, his decision to cut foreign aid to boost defense spending reflects his inability to balance priorities effectively, while his kowtowing to Trump is a misguided attempt to appease the US. Meanwhile, for the political right, Starmer's track record of infringing on personal liberties is nothing short of Orwellian. Starmer has repeatedly shown he's just not the strong leader Britain needs.
