Trump Mocked in UK Parliament: Davey DEMANDS Starmer Call Trump and Tell Him to “Shut Up” on the UK

Oneindia

Tensions rise in Westminster as Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey urges Prime Minister Keir Starmer to directly confront Donald Trump over what he calls “attempts to interfere with UK democracy.” Davey criticised Trump’s newly released national security strategy, calling it “deeply alarming” and repeating “far-right tropes,” while noting Vladimir Putin’s apparent approval.  Starmer responded firmly, emphasising that Europe remains united in defending freedom and democracy — values he says he will “always stand up for.”    #StarmerVsTrump #UKDemocracy #TrumpInterference #EdDavey #UKPolitics #WestminsterNews #TrumpNationalSecurityStrategy #FarRightConcerns #PutinReaction #StarmerResponse #BritishPolitics #BreakingPolitics #ParliamentToday #UKUSRelations #DemocracyDefense #PoliticalShowdown #UKUpdates  ~HT.410~ED.420~

00:00Mr Speaker, President Trump's new national security strategy is a deeply alarming document.

00:08Quite apart from the irony of President Trump accusing others of trampling on basic principles

00:14of democracy, it repeats far-right tropes of civilisational erasure and threatens that

00:22the US government will cultivate resistance in Europe.

00:27No wonder Vladimir Putin has welcomed that strategy.

00:32So will the Prime Minister pick up the phone and make it clear to President Trump that any

00:38attempts to interfere with our democracy are totally unacceptable?

00:43On the question of Europe and President Trump's comments, what I see is a strong Europe united

00:52behind Ukraine and united behind our long-standing values of freedom and democracy, and I will

00:58always stand up for those values and those freedoms.

01:15of democracy, it repeats far-right tropes of civilisational erasure and threatens that the US government

01:24will cultivate resistance in Europe.

01:28No wonder Vladimir Putin has welcomed that strategy.

01:33So will the Prime Minister pick up the phone and make it clear to President Trump that any

01:39attempts to interfere with our democracy are totally unacceptable?

01:46Can I join him in congratulating Lando for the incredible win?

01:52I went down to a Woking on Monday to see some of the team at McLaren, and they were all wearing

01:57the pride that that brought with them.

02:00On the question of Europe and President Trump's comments, what I see is a strong Europe united

02:09behind Ukraine and united behind our long-standing values of freedom and democracy, and I will

02:15always stand up for those values and those freedoms.

02:18Ed Durby?

02:19Mr Speaker, I did not hear about standing up to President Trump.

02:23If we are going to stand up to President Trump, we do need to strengthen our ties with Europe,

02:28not just on defence but on the economy too.

02:31The truth is that this government will not succeed unless it gets our economy growing strongly

02:37again, and the best way to do that is a customs union with Europe.

02:44The Prime Minister's chief economic adviser knows it, the Deputy Prime Minister knows it,

02:50and yesterday the Labour Chair of the Treasury Select Committee showed she knows it too when

02:56she backed our bill.

02:59Does the Prime Minister fear that, if he keeps opposing a customs union, in 12 months' time,

03:06he will not be standing there?

03:11Well, Mr Speaker, we have got a close relationship with the EU through our reset earlier this

03:16year.

03:17And yes, I do want a closer relationship with the one we have got at the moment where we are

03:21moving towards that.

03:23We do have manifested commitments on issues such as single market, customs union and freedom

03:28of movement.

03:29But I would gently point this out that, having now done significant trade deals with other

03:34countries, including the US and India, which is hugely important to the JLR workforce and

03:42on pharma, it is not now sensible to unravel what is effectively the best deal with the

03:48US.
