Trump’s UK Visit Brings Boost for Struggling Starmer

Trump’s UK Visit Brings Boost for Struggling Starmer

Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump’s state visit to the United Kingdom arrived at a politically fragile moment for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, with scandals at home and difficult relations abroad threatening to overshadow the trip.

Questions surrounding the appointment of Peter Mandelson, Trump’s alleged links with Jeffrey Epstein, and criticism of Britain’s free speech laws meant there was no guarantee of success.

For Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the timing was particularly difficult. After enduring a turbulent return to parliament, losing both Mandelson and Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner within two weeks, he needed a political win to steady his government. Growing speculation suggested he might not survive in office until the next general election.

Trump’s visit produced a mix of tense and measured moments. At one point, he told Starmer to call in the army to tackle migration issues. He also admitted to disagreements with the UK leader over the recognition of Palestine. Despite these potentially volatile exchanges, the U.S. president refrained from openly berating his hosts. He sidestepped confrontations over Mandelson and free speech, leaving the trip widely viewed as a success for UK–U.S. relations.

Starmer Seeks Breathing Room Amid Party Tensions

Concerning whether he had sympathy for the former ambassador dismissed over historic ties to Epstein, Trump brushed aside the question and pointed toward Starmer. 

“I don’t know him. Actually, I had heard that, and I think maybe the prime minister would be better speaking of that. That was a choice that he made, and I don’t know. What is your answer to that?”

President Donald Trump

The prime minister responded, “It’s very straightforward. Some information came to light last week which wasn’t available when he was appointed and I made a decision about it – and that’s very clear.”

Similarly, when pressed about free speech, Trump again deferred, leaving Starmer to present an uncontested defence of Britain’s approach.

Though Starmer has a record of managing relations with the U.S. president reasonably well, there is no denying Trump’s unpredictable nature. Thursday’s joint press conference could easily have spiraled into disaster for the Labour leader, a risk he could not afford at this stage.

In the end, Starmer emerged relieved. The state visit had not collapsed under the weight of scandal or confrontation, but instead offered a temporary lift in his dealings with Washington.

However, the prime minister’s domestic problems remain daunting. Migration, plummeting approval ratings, and the loss of influential allies have put his leadership under serious threat. A growing chorus of Labour MPs now warns openly that Starmer is on the brink of being ousted, with Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham touted as a possible replacement.

The weeks ahead will prove critical. The long-awaited migrant return deal with France, which finally became operational this week, will be closely scrutinized. Meanwhile, Labour’s upcoming party conference looms as another decisive test of Starmer’s authority and his ability to silence mounting dissent within his party.
