Sir Keir Starmer has become Britain’s Joe Biden in the eyes of Donald Trump, according to a Maga insider who worked for US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Matt Terrill, chief of staff for Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign, told The i Paper that “history will repeat itself” for the Prime Minister, meaning he will lose the next general election just like Biden did in the US vote in 2024.
“I think Starmer has the signs of being the Joe Biden of the UK,” he said. “Like Biden, Starmer is facing a lot of pressure from members of his own party. They’re all trying to save their own political careers.”
According to Terrill, Starmer’s successor can survive by taking the President’s advice and embracing a “UK First” agenda, opening up the North Sea for drilling and clamping down on illegal migration.
But British pollster and analyst Patrick Basham warned that Labour’s cabinet is so unknown in the US that Trump will have to “Google who Wes Streeting is” if the Prime Minister quits and the former health secretary enters the leadership race. Former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner would be dubbed the “British AOC”, he said, referring to the firebrand left-wing Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
