      The „Special Relationship“ isn’t real.

      It genuinely turns my stomach whenever I hear it.

    2. The UK shouldn’t join this war on Iran. I dont see any reason that we should. The US reasons for going to war seem to change by the minute, the narrative is insane. The US even told troops that they’re doing this because its „Gods Plan“

      Utter insanity

      It seems to me that Starmer’s stance on the war by the US and Israel has been one of the most popular things he’s done since in office. The UK public are overwhelmingly against any role in this conflict, and people remember what Trump said about British service members in Afghanistan.

      I hope those calling for us to join get suitably punished come election time, and fuck all the newspapers attempting to get the public behind this war, shameful.

    4. Getting very tiring watching him pretend he was caught off guard by this and is doing the best he can.

      He knew over a week before the strikes that they were likely to happen. As evidenced by him coming out and preemptively banning the US using our bases in a potential conflict and that every other intelligence agency in the western world was fully aware and prepared to protect their interests.

      As for his weird middle ground he’s struck. Either Iran is a threat to the UK and our allies, and we should be assisting in anyway we can. Or Iran isn’t a threat and we shouldn’t. There literally isn’t room for his handwringing and incremental steps towards a credible position.

      We really really need to stop referring to our relationship with the United States as the „special relationship“. It’s outdated and unhelpful.

    6. Starmer was going to be criticised no matter what he did, so he might as well be criticised for doing the *right* thing

      From Love Actually – 2003

      Prime Minister: I love that word „relationship.“ Covers all manner of sins, doesn’t it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship; a relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, erm… Britain. We may be a small country, but we’re a great one, too. The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham’s right foot. David Beckham’s left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that.

      Starmer: the people that voted for you hate Trump and do not support the war, stop kissing his arse in our name!

      If the crew of HMS Dragon were quietly told to ‚find something that needs fixing whilst Trump fucks this up himself‘ then I’m fine with that.
