Undermining UK&#39;s creative industries to benefit parasitic US AI industry is a self-destructive betrayal. Grovelling to Trump for shitty US trade deal that will undermine UK producers, while cold-shouldering EU, is utterly shameful. Starmer is profoundly disappointing as a prime minister who refuses to lead and stands for nothing in the face of billionaires and oligarchs. 2025-04-02T08:11:52Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs94058p3s80su5ppvuc7jyc3cnws55dr2g4388mgcm5k5za4ltjwszyzns7yxr8uu2vcp9jygr3tt8ld2r42u4gvv4gkwnfzrce9pc7n8uk94u0ec In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstqlpx6jmt4n2yxfv8qz9khd2av4wv7xmwjxzt0qamzvs5k7shxpqjralm4'>nevent1q…alm4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yet the majority of white women voted for Trump.
