PM appears to draw comparison between Russian and US leaders’ actions and calls for plan to restore Hormuz strait shipping
Keir Starmer has said he is “fed up” with the effect that Donald Trump’s actions in the Middle East are having on the British public, while appearing to draw a comparison between the US president and Vladimir Putin.
Speaking to ITV’s Robert Peston on Thursday, the prime minister said: “I’m fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses’ bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world.”
Starmer, who has been heavily criticised, and at times mocked, by Trump for not committing British forces to the war on Iran, also appeared to condemn Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel’s continued strikes on Lebanon, despite Iran calling for Lebanon to be included in the ceasefire that was agreed on 7 April.
Hah, well he’s welcome to send some ships to the straight and open it up anytime he wants. Funny how Europe was only too happy to have the US spend billions on Ukraine, and won’t help to secure their own energy needs. The US doesn’t need that oil, they have their own.
Careful, he might become cross. Keep it up and he might become vexed.
Starmer is a conceited, two-faced little shit, in my humble personal opinion. This is the idiot who led a group of 30+ countries to put pressure on Iran including threatened economic sanctions AFTER they were illegally bombed by the U.S and had needed to respond with their own actions. He is only signaling a position like this because he knows his ass is going to be burned in the next election rounds.
Yep, Spain is much more a leader than the UK at this point
It really is incredible how much global influence both the US and UK have pissed away over the last decade or so.
So we’re going to cut subsidies for oil companies to clean up their own mess and reinvest the money into renewable power production, right? Right?
That means he’ll stop supporting Israel with their genocide and other destabilising actions, right?
Slow down, there, speedy.
He’s going to start by sending a strongly-worded letter to Donald and proceed from there.
It’s required a court hearing to stop us from being arrested for protesting for Palestine. Starmer (and almost all others) unlikely to speak out about Israel. So far, we only have Polanski and the Green Party.
Man people should really stop throwing such powerful words around. There are like what, 200 dead from those strikes? I mean sure, you could say there is ongoing genocide against…hezbollah
Europa becomes a man.
So he’s going to kick the USA off the military bases, right?
It was ?yesterday? when it was being reported, here, how the UK had caught 3 Russian submarines mapping what undersea-infrastructure to cut, to sever the UK’s vitals??
UK’s on rickety “strength”, it seems… MUCH greater threat than merely having fuel-costs rise…
same as Canada is, after having spent the last century betting-the-farm on US being our automatic ally…
Stupid tunnel-vision indulging…
coming to bite us, soon…
