Given that more Brits oppose strikes on Iran than support them, it is possible that Trump is in fact helping Keir Starmer’s standing with the public.

The more Starmer resists Trump’s demands, the more principled he appears, in line with British views on the war.

"we're involved defensively" is a purely bullshit talking point he borrowed from the equally-useless American Democrats.

Kuzey İngiltere’nin üç kuşaktır biriken yoksulluğu, İşçi Partisi’nin savruluşu ve aşırı sağın korku siyaseti arasında bir muslukçu sandığı kırdı.

Yeşiller’in adayı Hannah Spencer’ın zaferi, “çok çalış ama yoksul kal” düzenine karşı açılmış sınıfsal bir gedik.

The problem is not the Greens not having a plan, it is that Labour, the party in power until 2029, does and that plan will lead us to disaster.

The problem is not "Greens do not have a plan." It is that you do, and that plan will lead us all to disaster.

Keir Starmer refused in the Commons yesterday to agree to a parliamentary vote on UK military action over Iran.

He said this “convention” applies only to “offensive” not “defensive” use of force. 😂

Why are so many pundits and politicians gunning for war with Iran when the British public clearly DO NOT WANT IT?
Funny how they only bring up "the will of the people" when it suits them 🤔.

[PS - Americans don't want it either]

“We’ve learnt the lessons of Iraq,” says Keir Starmer, as he backs another illegal US-led war in the Middle East.

If he really believes this is right, he should put it to a Commons vote tomorrow.

He literally says, "it was totally OK to investigate Paul Holden, but the other journalists was a mistake." The level of hubris and impunity, even when they resign. Labour is irreparably corrupt.

İsrail'in gözü kibirden öyle dönmüş ki, saldırganlıklarını mazur kılabilecek belki tek argüman olan "İran'daki kadınları özgürleştirecekler"i boşa düşürecek şekilde ilk günden bir kız ortaokulunu yerle bir edip onlarca öğrenciyi öldürdüler.

Unsurprisingly, the hotel hit in Dubai receives more Western media attention than the girls' school destroyed by Israel in Minab, Iran.

Because, remember, it's a tragedy only if white and rich people are hurt.
