…for damaging the “special relationship” when Trump has been trampling all over it like a mastodon for ages.

He always gets blamed. He could bring about world peace single handed and still get shredded.

The rain today is labours fault.

I agree, he was doing the right thing although he seems to be moving more towards what Trump wants. Has anyone seen a survey about the general consensus towards the war, and/or his actions?

Here you go. It seems Trump hasn’t got much support at home either.

With 80% of the media being right wing, Starmer doesn't stand a chance. He is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

Whatever he’d said he’d have been wrong

I think he’s right for once let’s hope he can remain strong and not u turn.

I genuinely think that if he had responded straight away, he would have been dismissed as "Trump's poodle", just like Tony Blair and GW. However, having a Cobra meeting, discussing the situation and checking legalities somehow makes him weak and vacillating.

... because Starmer is a Labour PM and some will never forgive him for that. Whatever he did would be wrong.

Yep. The Right would rather damage Starmer than defend the UK!
