He's not happy at all.

JaneV1984Madness · 03/03/2026 17:10

Wow he's now saying he can stop everything to do with Spain ! Because Spain didn't help him

Merz has been more sensible.

JaneV1984Madness · 03/03/2026 17:17

JaneV1984Madness · 03/03/2026 17:21

Just noted the irony talking Churchill next to the Germans !

JaneV1984Madness · 03/03/2026 17:22

He's laying into us now ,shaira courts , mayor ,wind farms etc

TheNuthatch · 03/03/2026 17:23

UK has been very unco-operative.
This is not the age of Churchill.
Energy
Immigration

Fucking hell 😬

JaneV1984Madness · 03/03/2026 17:23

Safe to say that relationship is cooked.

EasternStandard · 03/03/2026 17:23

Damn I’m out missing it all

JaneV1984Madness · 03/03/2026 17:25

Front page of the mail !
Nothing in the times yet.
Wow what a gut punch for him

JaneV1984Madness · 03/03/2026 17:26

Maybe this is why he was pushing about chagos so much because he knew this was coming and his military told him they needed it
?

EmeraldRoulette · 03/03/2026 17:28

@JaneV1984Madness "He mentioed an island and a lease so I assume it was chaos ?"

fantastic typo!

On catch up. Absolutely wincing. I cannot cope with the special relationship being broken. It's so dreadful. 😭😭😭

Thing is Starmer will probably wear it as a badge of honour.

I'm thinking tariffs too. Not good.

Oh undoubtedly
This would've been planned for a very long time. I do think it came as a shock to him that Starmer was giving it away, (and paying though the nosefor that) though he should've known about that when it started to be proposed. Bit puzzled that he didn't.

Still on catch up, glad he mentioned the North Sea. I was literally ranting to my mum about that yesterday!

Looks like it yes.
Wouldn't mind, but Starmer U turned anyway. Idiot.

JaneV1984Madness · 03/03/2026 17:32

Well thankfully he didn't ask him team about us like he did Spain ,,😮
Ie can we cut them off.
Sky has just said breathtaking conference

JaneV1984Madness · 03/03/2026 17:32

Did he nuthatch ...I've not followed chagos at all so we do or don't have it ?

Terrific stuff.

AFAIK, it has yet to be put back to the HoL, so not yet ratified.

Starmer U turned on the airbases anyway, so what was the effing point in saying no in the first place!

EmeraldRoulette · 03/03/2026 17:45

@JaneV1984Madness others including @TheNuthatch are much better informed

I think the current situation with Chagos is that it still has to get through the Lords. But I also thought the transfer had already begun so I'm quite confused. How can it have started before the Lords approve?

Exactly. What was it two days between saying no then yes? Pointless

Chagos should be dropped, his term is going to be anchored to the ridiculous Chagos give away.

TheNuthatch · 03/03/2026 17:55

Can you imagine the frantic phone calls going on behind the scenes right now.

Rodney you plonker!

Agree with the pp who said Starmer will wear this as a badge of honour, because he's just been beaten by the Greens. Stuff the country.
