Keir Starmer is in big trouble. He’s desperately unpopular at home and losing friends abroad.

The British Prime Minister is almost the last socialist in a world moving rightwards at breakneck speed. He emerges as an isolated, confused and almost pathetic figure. His leftist comrades Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau and Olaf Scholz are on their way out; Emmanuel Macron is a laughing stock.

This is what Allister Heath writes in The Telegraph. Heath believes the future belongs to conservative forces such as Donald Trump, Canada’s Pierre Poilievre, Argentina’s Javier Milei and even Nayib Bukele, El Salvador’s crime-fighting, Bitcoin-friendly president.

While right-wingers are on the offensive around the world, the British are sinking into a deep, dark hole under Starmer and Labour. The problem is that the British, like us Norwegians, have not had a conservative party to lean on.

Many have seen hope in Reform UK, and its leader Nigel Farage is a close ally of Donald Trump. However, Musk’s criticism of Farage’s lack of support for Tommy Robinson is a warning. In Norway, we have to get out of parliament to find parties that can be called conservative.

Both Norway and the UK are countries nobody wants to copy, examples of what not to do, where the population is subject to the government’s cruel experiments in destroying a successful and cohesive society.

Of course, many people are jealous of Norway’s oil money. But this oil money is of little help to Norwegian taxpayers, unless you love African dictators, Palestinian terrorists, mass immigration, climate madness, an overweight state and global organisations, where oil money is used diligently.

The British only have the Premier League, the best (soccer) football league in the world, which creates envy of existing things.

Like a dinosaur that has miraculously escaped the mass extinction of its fellow species, Starmer trudges on, ignoring the new zeitgeist. He kisses up to the EU while letting Chancellor Rachel Reeves raise all taxes.

Labour increases mass immigration and overprices energy, ignoring the flashing red lights in the City, while UK interest rates skyrocket to their highest level since 1998.

Elon Musk harshly criticises the UK’s mishandling of the grooming scandals, and Trump criticises the Net Zero focus and the closure of the UK oil and gas industry.

Starmer is so inflexible that The Special Relationship is unlikely to survive: Its demise, disastrous for British interests, will serve as an epitaph to his failed premiership.

Trump sees the UK and the European countries as whining, ungrateful freeloaders. He will demand much greater defence spending, but Rachel Reeves, facing another financial crisis as our borrowing costs rise, will not want to cut welfare and is unlikely to deliver more than a token increase. Trump will react furiously.

If it doesn’t break the special relationship, the administration’s likely embrace of lawfare will baffle a Westminster establishment that doesn’t understand the modern Republican party. Starmer, a left-wing lawyer, is about to get a taste of his own medicine.

Although Israel has its own independent courts and robust democracy to deal with offences and abuses, and despite the fact that the Jewish state is supposed to be our ally, Starmer imposed sanctions on a handful of Israeli settlers accused of attacking Palestinians.

Biden approved similar sanctions. Trump is unlikely to do the same.

Labour and Starmer have retained their arrogant belief that the woke would always be in power. They do not understand what threat to their own interests such a precedent would pose. Perhaps Starmer, Norways socialdemocratic prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre and the so called conservative leader Erna Solberg should take a look at Canada and Trudeau’s ultimate demise?

MAGA has none of the inhibitions of its predecessors and plans to use its power to wipe out its enemies. At the same time, Trump supports his friends on the right, and the likes of Italy’s Giorgio Meloni and Hungary’s Viktor Orbán are cheering.

Many conservatives in the US are now calling, in all seriousness, for sanctions to be imposed on British politicians who they believe haven’t done enough to combat the obscenity that is grooming gangs. Some want British citizens convicted of raping young girls, but released after short sentences, to be penalised directly by the US.

The UK is at risk of being treated as a country with a broken justice system by a global superpower: It’s a farce and a disgrace.

The solution, however, is not foreign interference, but a better British government. Britain’s morally bankrupt, bien-pensante elite are to blame in three ways, writes Heath.

The British have restricted arms sales to Israel, aiding America’s enemies. The International Criminal Court is sure to come under attack: its chief prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan is British.

There may be extradition requests, and there may also be attempts to go after Labour for allowing activists to campaign for Kamala Harris.

The “human rights” house of cards may come crashing down, the MAGA gang is more concerned with the rights of US citizens.

More generally, the US is about to start exporting right-wing values again, which will put the country at odds with Labour’s Britain and Støre’s crazy Norway. US foreign policy has long been deeply ideological, with varying degrees of success.

The US supported our membership of the EU (bad), supported anti-communism (good), fought Islamism after 11 September 2001 (good), and became a massive exporter of woke and environmental junk, in collaboration with Wall Street and Silicon Valley (bad)

The British left embraces censorship and woke, and supported all US co-operation with the EU, as long as the US follows the EU’s direction. But under Trump, the US will go in the exact opposite direction.

They will withdraw from the World Health Organisation, crush woke, support Israel, impose tariffs on EU goods and put an end to the war in Ukraine. MAGA will never kneel to Black Lives Matter, trans activists or Greta Thunberg. The green shift in the US will be abolished, and the Paris Agreement will end up as a European suicide pact.

While Norway and the UK will be at the forefront of the green shift as economic cannon fodder.

The West is now experiencing the biggest “vibe shift” to the right since 1979-1980, confirming Newton’s third law of motion that “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”, writes Heath.

The US will fight DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) and a number of large companies are abolishing their DEI departments. Banks are fleeing from climate alliances. Trump wants to drill, baby, drill. Musk could become a counterweight to George Soros and fund right-wing causes globally. Even Meta – which owns Facebook and Instagram – has embraced free speech, doing away with its hyper-political fact-checkers.

Exporting the First Amendment (freedom of speech) could become a foreign policy priority for the US.

We can expect trade sanctions against UK and European interests if Starmer or Brussels attempt to prevent US social media firms from hosting material that is legal in the US.

The UK and Europe will face a new form of conservative US imperialism, manifesting itself not only in attempts at land grabs (such as reversing the surrender of the Chagos Islands or the attempt to absorb Greenland), but by linking trade sanctions to policies and guidelines.

Everything is about to change. Starmer and Støre don’t stand a chance.
