IN FULL
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has appointed David Lammy, Britain’s now-former Foreign Secretary, as Deputy Prime Minister, replacing the scandal-hit Angela Rayner. Despite attempting to build bridges with Vice President J.D. Vance as Foreign Secretary, Lammy is known to be virulently anti-Trump, previously describing the America First leader a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath” and the wider MAGA movement as a “cult of white supremacists.”
Lammy defended these comments shortly after becoming Foreign Secretary, suggesting “You’re going to struggle to find any politician who has not had things to say about Donald Trump in his first term, particularly on Twitter.”
The black identitarian politician went far further than most of President Trump’s critics, however, not only calling him a “racist KKK and Nazi sympathizer” and branding him a tyrant, but even arguing the British government should “be putting [him] on a watch list and barring him from entry to our country” and asking the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate him for “inciting hatred” on social media.
The Trump administration has been able to work constructively with Britain’s Labour government up to now, with the President striking a first-of-its-kind British-American trade deal with Starmer earlier this year, but relations have been fraying over Britain’s increasingly draconian censorship regime.
A recent U.S. State Department human rights report warned of “credible reports of serious restrictions on freedom of expression,” and Vice President J.D. Vance personally spoke out against the country’s “crisis of censorship” at the annual Munich Security Conference in Germany.
