The article discusses the political landscape in the UK following Donald Trump's return to the White House, emphasizing the strong anti-Trump sentiment among British politicians, particularly Sir Ed Davey of the Lib Dem party. Davey's remarks label Trump's election as a dangerous development, reflecting a broader British disapproval of Trump. This opposition provides Davey with an opportunity to appeal to constituents concerned about potential impacts on food standards and policies under a Trump administration. The dynamics between opposition leaders and the incumbents are shifting as political realities necessitate a careful balancing act with the US.
Sir Ed describes the American's return to the White Office as a dark, dark day for people around the globe, referring to him as a dangerous, destructive demagogue.
Polling tells us that a great many Brits fall into that category and Sir Ed has reason to think that there will be advantage to be had from being a strong voice of anti-Trumpism.
Unburdened by the responsibilities of government and free of any obligation to try and make the relationship work, Sir Ed can say what he thinks.
The better to project himself as a friend to Britain's fantastic farmers, the Lib Dem leader used his slot at the most recent prime minister's questions to demand.
