Donald Trump has reportedly taken to calling Keir Starmer a loser behind closed doors.

A source present at a private dinner party with the US president within the last fortnight told the Telegraph: “Trump has started calling Starmer a loser. He said it at a dinner with friends. He just thinks Starmer has no future any more.”

Trump lashed out at the British prime minister in public on Tuesday too, saying he was “not Winston Churchill” and “ruins relationships”.

The US president has also recently criticised the UK’s “horrible” immigration and energy policies and urged Starmer to remove “sharia courts” and “open up the North Sea” to drilling.

Starmer’s initial refusal for the US to launch strikes at Iran from the Chagos Islands military base Diego Garcia angered Trump over the weekend, with the US president saying “it took far too much time” for Starmer to change his mind.

Starmer eventually allowed Trump to launch strikes from Diego Garcia, citing that Iran had struck a UK airbase – RAF Akrotiri – in Cyprus.

The Ministry of Defence has since declared that the drone that struck the airbase – from which the UK conducted spy flights over Gaza during Israel’s ongoing genocide – was not fired from Iran.
