Where is Britain's ruthless
0:01
self-interest? It's not in our energy
0:03
policy, that's for sure. It's not in our
0:05
decision to surrender sovereignty of the
0:07
Chagos Islands, and it's not in our
0:09
decision to grant China the world's most
0:10
prestigious diplomatic presence in the
0:13
heart of our capital city. Starama has
0:15
handled Trump quite well, and he was
0:17
right, as I said at the start of this
0:18
week, to keep a cool head while the
0:20
tariff threat blew itself out. But now
0:22
is surely the time for him and indeed
0:24
all our aspiring leaders to present a
0:26
coherent and robust and urgent case for
0:28
the UK's future, its economic growth,
0:31
its security, its borders, its energy
0:33
policy, and its alliances. Otherwise, we
0:36
risk looking like we haven't noticed
0:38
quite how much the world is changing
