The cracks are beginning to show in Britain and America’s so-called “special relationship.”

According to the BBC, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer may end his country’s security partnership with the United States if Donald Trump does not distance himself from Elon Musk’s recent comments on grooming gangs.

Nick Watt, a reporter for the nightly current affairs show BBC Newsnight, claims that Downing Street are going to give a “hard-headed assessment” of whether these views are held solely by Musk or by the administration as a whole.

He explained:

There is absolute horror at the highest levels of the government at the incendiary language we have seen from Elon Musk.

And there’s going to be, as I understand it, a hard-headed assessment. Is this just the view of Elon Musk, or is it the view of the wider administration and the incoming President Donald Trump?

If it’s the latter, then there may well be some very, very serious questions about the nature of our ongoing security partnership with the United States.

John Healey, the Defense Secretary today, was saying that the UK-US security relationship is the closest we’ve got in the world. We’re members of the Five Eyes Group with the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

Can you have that level of sharing everything if this sort of stuff is endorsed by the next President of the United States?

The question, the answer to that question, does Trump agree with this? Don’t know that one yet.

According to BBC Newsnight, Britain’s socialist government are considering ending their security partnership with the U.S. unless Donald Trump distances himself from Elon Musk’s views on grooming gangs.pic.twitter.com/024Qbg1iaH

Almost sounds like he’s teasing that it’s true.

How arrogant. Just imagine if the US and Israel stopped providing Britain with intelligence information. There’d be a terror attack in Britain every week.

Is it time for popcorn?

Trump probably is laughing his ass off at this UK pipsqueak.

I can’t imagine that even Two-tier Keir would do something that stupid.

Starmer will probably be gone before he gets his answer.
