President Trump can be Britain’s best ally – as long as Labour stop their ill-judged outbursts

THE inauguration of UK-loving US President Donald Trump today should herald an era of optimism for Britain. But will it?. Trump learned during his first term who his friends were, and who not to trust, and a string of Labour bigwigs regrettably fall into the latter camp.

Especially since Labour foolishly sent activists to America to campaign for Trump’s Democrat rival Kamala Harris during last year’s US election. Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s “warm congratulations” to Mr Trump risk ringing hollow too since he previously described him as “a women-hating neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath”.

A fresh ill-judged outburst came yesterday from London Mayor Sadiq Khan who branded the President a “fascist”. It was a typically puerile comment, virtue-signalling to fellow left-wingers while ignoring how Britain relies on America’s military and business might for our protection and prosperity.

We must hope Mr Trump won’t lose sleep over such outbursts. But Khan and others in Labour need to realise it is a Trump world order now… and get used to it. WE rejoice today at the ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Brit Emily Damari and two fellow hostages — but any joy is also tinged with deep sadness.

Sadness that they had to endure 471 days in hellish captivity from which they will not easily recover; that other Israeli hostages still wait to be freed and that some never lived to this day. And sadness for the thousands of innocent Palestinians killed or maimed when used as human shields by the cowardly Hamas terrorists.
