On the world under Trump, and British responses.

What is "American imperial nationalism (MAGA)" plus a "real-estate negotiation style"?

Why are the UK's tensions and problems an extreme version of what may soon apply to any ostensible American ally?
What is the Workers Party of Britain's pitch and strategy?
Are the bulk of British people really "left on economics, right on culture", and how does the WPB try to appeal to workers?
