Trump lands in Britain’s ‘autumn of discontent’  – POLITICO

LONDON — Donald Trump arrives in Britain Tuesday for a full-blown pomp fest. But beyond the walls of Windsor Castle, the public is far from jubilant.

While the famous British stiff upper lip may prevail, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer will do his best to keep calm and carry on — all is not well in Westminster.

The center-left prime minister’s promise to end the political chaos after 14 years of Conservative rule has lost its luster following unpopular economic decisions and the successive departures of key allies since early September. He is increasingly viewed as a political loser with one of the lowest domestic approval ratings among Western leaders.
