English comedian Stewart Lee criticises PM Keir Starmer's deference to US overlords. Not only is he timidly ignoring Trump's tariffs, but he's offered the likes of Meta and Facebook substantially lower tax rates than everyone else.
"Starmer is encouraging people who want to destroy our values to come and do it in our country at reduced tax rates, like a man putting on trousers made of meat and running towards a leopard."
