The impossible has happened - Trump has made me a Keir Starmer supporter!

'This is not the age of churchill'

Thank God. Fucking orange twat.

So we should all just give in to the orange bully?

What are you on about? Is that really how you read this post?!!

"Can the Prime Minister reassure all those who are concerned about the UK being drawn into war?"

Kemi Badenoch last year. Changed her tune, somewhat. Suddenly she is all for the UK being drawn into war. Why?

As a few people here will know, my DF was career army person, and our older son is currently serving. I was disgusted by Trump's previous comments on our armed forces. This really shows what he thinks of us.

I'd never support Starmer. But this US regime cannot be trusted.

I think Starmer has played it well this week. Must be a nightmare dealing with the Americans.

The amount of abuse he’s getting for the decision is awful and unhelpful. He’s not going to make the same mistakes as Blair thank goodness.

Killing innocent non-white people is almost a sport for the right, so, sadly not a surprise.

This 💯

Absolutely this. I’m not his biggest fan but at least he has some statesperson like qualities as oppose to tha bumbling, evil twat and his cronies in the USA.

Oh, maybe I misinterpreted it. Apologies if that was the case.

And nor should he be. It's 2026 and the world has moved on from these decades old tropes. Getting voluntarily involved in this circus to massage the tyrant's ego is a fool's errand.

Spain have made some interesting decisions in the last two years. It’s like they have simply run out of fucks. It’s great.

Well said op and others.

Personally I find myself worried by Trump’s statement that ‘it’s too late to talk’.

Christ he has no concept of diplomacy or of international relations, at the very least.

KS knows that Trumps time is up. This is an illegal war to distract us from the fact he is a child rapist - he’s not fooling anyone.

Whatever you think of Starmrr domestically he's done a decent job trying to manage the lunatic toddler who believes everything he's told by liars and insults our war dead.

Arms to Ukraine have continued and last month Russia actually lost territory.

We haven't joined these insane attacks on Iran other than protecting our troops in the area.

He's done OK.

You are being rather unfair here. I think Sunak would have done a good job with this as well - primarily because he wasn't Johnson or Truss.

I am also in Starmer's corner amd I am impressed he has held his nerve and said no.

Special relationship or no special relationship, I, as many others do, want a decent leader of the UK who will stand up for what is right rather than just what is easy.

US is possibly the most unpredictable ally to be aligning to right now. Trump wanted NATO etc to forge their own path-so he needs to back off and deal with his own country's problems, rather than sticking his nasty little beak in over here.

Wishing you and your dc the very best @TheGrimSmile 💐.

Agree with you completely

Unfortunately, the "special relationship" has well and truly gone, one way street that it's been since January 2025.

@Marmalademorningoh come on let’s not pretend that if Starmer had done what the tories and reformers are saying they would do - that they would be satisfied. No they would be banging on about it being an illegal war and how Starmer should have stood up to the orange lunatic!
Starmer will never do the right thing in their eyes and let’s not pretend otherwise!

Controversial but at least with Saddam there was stability in that area. The US can meddle with the middle east but leave us out of it.

I never thought I’d be a Starmer fan but there you go.

The British people do not want to send their children to die in Iran to help Trump. A man who slagged off our troops only a couple of months back and who cannot be trusted.

The American people are turning on Trump at home so he is using this war as a distraction. He got high off his own supply after getting away with Venezuela.

Look how long Europe begged Trump to help in Ukraine and got slagged off. Trump said Europe was far away and we should fuck off. Well the Middle East is even further away so why are the Americans there now?

Trump threatened our allies weeks ago with Greenland.

Why on earth would Starmer team up with him and his thieving, paedo death cult. Let Trump and ‘bring on the end times’ DUI hire Hegseth handle Iran solo.

Any politician or media personality who argues the UK should get involved is a traitor or should send their own kids over there.

Or let Richard Tice and Elizabeth Oaskshot put on their fatigues and represent us.

I agree i honestly think Rishi would have taken a similar approach.

Me too! For the first time ever Kier has shown he believes in something and is willing to stand up for it. Let’s hope he doesn’t change his mind again.

Exactly. When Starmer was talking about providing peacekeepers to Ukraine in the event of an agreement, he was called a warmonger.
