00:06I think Keir Starmer's doing a brilliant job. I think he gets lambasted far too easily and far too quickly.
00:12And I think he does have to play the political long game rather than a short, instant whiplash back at Trump.
00:18It hasn't done any favours for anybody else that's done that.
00:21But Starmer seems to have actually made sure that he's still on talking terms with him, which is the best place to be with Trump.
00:31Some of his actions seem a bit strange.
00:37I suppose they do worry me because it just further exacerbates tensions, which is not a good thing in the world.
00:46As regards Starmer, speaking out against Trump, I think he's having to play a very diplomatic game, which is difficult.
00:58It's trying to keep everybody happy.
