🔴Starmer announces resignation - Trump predicted this months ago


You just witnessed the seventh UK Prime Minister in 10 years resign.
Last Sunday, Trump posted on Truth Social: “Keir Starmer will resign as UK Prime Minister. He has failed badly on two very important issues - immigration and energy.”
The issue is that a few days earlier, Starmer had declared to the press, "I will stand firm, I will not go anywhere." Today, he officially announced his resignation, citing the Labour Party no longer trusts him enough to lead the next general election.
Trump and Starmer have had conflicts over energy and the Strait of Hormuz:
- The UK maintains a ban on new oil and gas exploration licenses in the North Sea — completely opposite Trump’s energy policies
- The UK refused to participate in the mine-clearing operation in the Strait of Hormuz led by the US, amid US-Iran tensions
-> Trump publicly expressed disappointment, saying Starmer is not a "Winston Churchill" and called the UK "a once-great ally."
Who will replace Starmer, and what will Trump gain?
- Andy Burnham — former Mayor of Greater Manchester, who just decisively won the by-election in Makerfield to secure a seat in Parliament, is almost certain to take office soon. He may officially assume the role within a few weeks. Burnham leans more left than Starmer, having previously described Trump-style politics as "toxic" and causing "global instability." If Burnham takes power, UK-US relations will likely remain strained.
- The real beneficiaries of this crisis are Nigel Farage and the Reform UK party — Trump’s close allies in the UK. The Labour Party’s leadership crisis is further strengthening Farage’s position ahead of the next general election.
Trump’s accurate timing in predicting Starmer’s resignation relates to intelligence capabilities, as well as a consistent strategy: publicly pressuring leaders Washington considers weak, while supporting political allies with similar ideologies (Farage) right in the opponent’s territory.
The real issue for the UK isn’t who becomes the next Prime Minister, but that this is the seventh in 10 years — an unprecedented level of leadership instability in a G7 economy, directly resulting from the Brexit shock exactly 10 years ago.
