The legacy press, those Downing Street special advisors, and, of course, Labour’s front bench must have rushed to their anti-nausea tablets to quash a sick feeling deep in their collective gut when they learned Donald Trump, the 45th President of the US, has been re-elected as the 47th.
This political bombshell, not seen by pollsters but predicted by betting organisations, is a colossal nightmare for Sir Keir Starmer.
His contriteness must now be more than sincere; it must be convincing when he next meets the new leader of the free world.
This historic election result for the Western world’s supreme power is, without any doubt, the best outcome for the UK.
For starters, it should help secure us lower energy costs, scrap the Net Zero fantasy, maintain fossil fuel supplies, deliver economic trade without punitive tariffs, improve global security, establish more robust border control, ensure the protection of free speech, help fight the worldwide spread of extreme terrorism, and end military conflicts around the globe.
But sadly, these widely popular common-sense outcomes will only materialise here if our mendacious Labour Government follows Trump’s healing fiscal plans and recognises that the further increase in spending of our bloated nanny state and their anti-business, economically illiterate policies must be dumped. And that means cutting taxes.
Watch Trump put that economic growth strategy into practice once inaugurated.
Donald Trump's election victory is a "colossal nightmare for Sir Keir Starmer," says Howard Cox

With that customary clueless stare into those political headlamps, Keir Starmer and the UK’s foreign secretary immediately and rightly so, tweeted congratulatory messages to President Trump.
David Lammy, who, as a backbench MP in 2018 called the ‘Donald’ a neo-Nazi sociopath.
And he even attempted to defend his crass comment before this year’s General Election.
He must now be quaking in those infamous trainers that a popular right-wing administration is now to run America.
He must eat diplomatic, humble pie, and grovel remorsefully with a genuine apology.
Failure to sincerely do so must mean Starmer should sack him. Frankly, he needs to go now.
Britain’s top foreign envoy abroad, in such an unstable world involving our closest ally, the United States, not only unnecessarily insulted the prize winner of the 2024 presidential election, but in doing so, he had stupidly accused the people of the US of returning someone unsuited for the most powerful elected office in the world.
Trump holds grudges big time, so watch this space to see how David Lamentable can rise to the occasion. I can’t see him lasting long after Christmas.
Let’s not forget the 100 Labour members supplied to support Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, too.
The Trump campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission in Washington seeking an immediate investigation into alleged "blatant foreign interference” by our new Government’s overt backing.
Sir Keir, who met Trump last month, said party staff going to the US to campaign to get Kamala Harris elected were volunteers "doing it in their spare time" and residing with other volunteers.
Our Prime Minister will now have to explain directly to Donald Trump why he did not want the Republican Party to win. The special relationship has been severely damaged.

And that Lycra-clad buffoon, the Liberal Democratic leader, Ed Davey, tweeted right out of Lammy and Dawn Butler’s diplomacy 101 guide, “This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe. The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.”
It beggars' belief how this 'will never get to meet Trump’ politician got elected.
However, this result is manna from heaven for the Reform UK Party.
Nigel Farage called the result joyous, sensational, and good news for the UK. He is spot on.
Starmer should ask Nigel to be the UK’s lead diplomat straddling the pond. Not only is Reform’s leader a very close friend of Trump, but he would also ensure that Lammy's and potentially Baron Mandelson’s incompetence would be nullified.
Above all, economically, the UK would be first in the queue for mutually favourable trade deals that Labour haven’t a clue how to negotiate.
As the founder of the FairFuelUK Campaign, the most significant benefit of this incredible election victory is the certainty that the new President will dump Net Zero, increase oil production, and stop forcing EVs upon us.
Conversely, that may be a tricky question for the ex-Democrat Elon Musk to agree to, whose vested economic interests rest firmly on increasing sales of his electric vehicles. However, Elon's support of free speech at ‘X’ will ensure democracy is at the heart of Trump’s tenure.
I wonder how the Mayor of London is feeling. As the former Reform UK mayoral candidate, I am ecstatic that Donald Trump is back to ‘make America great again’ and restore sanity and safety to the rest of the world.
