>Last week Badenoch repeatedly pressed Starmer on his decision not to launch offensive strikes to destroy missile bases, asking: “Why is he asking our allies to do what we should be doing ourselves?”
>On Wednesday, Starmer said: “If I’d asked her last week, her position would be, we support the initial strikes and we want to join the war. This week, she says, we don’t want to join the war. That is the mother of all U-turns on the single most important decision a prime minister ever has to take, whether to commit the United Kingdom to war or not.”
>To cheers from his own backbenchers, he added: “She has utterly disqualified herself from ever becoming prime minister, thankfully she never will.”
I don’t know why we have PMQs now. PM never answers the questions (unless easy questions served up by his own MPs). PM just attacks the other parties. Been rubbish for years.
These two dickheads wanted us to be at war, yet can’t even stand by their own words. One look at the polls and they both crumbled.
Say what you want about Starmer, but he’s clearly far more intelligent than Kemi and Farage. All they needed to do was not call for us to join Trump’s war and they couldn’t even manage that.
Starmer is a hypocrite. He said that British airfields could only be used for Defensive operations. It is obvious that they are being used for Offensive operations and Starmer says nothing
They have kind of embarrassed themselves trying desperately to invent a position between actually joining in a war that already seems to be causing us economic problems and without any endgame plan… and defending ourselves and possibly allies – which we are already doing. But you wouldnt know that from the right wing press that is desperately trying the same contortion simply to attack Starmer.
Being the opposition, doesn’t implicitly mean you should always take the opposite viewpoint to the government, just to score brownie points or appeal to your base.
You want to run the country, you put the best interests of the country first….not your backers, idiots abroad or the ratings.
Farage and Bad Enoch are just self serving sold out shills.
He’s absolutely right too.
U-turns aren’t inherently bad.
U-turns where if you were in power you would’ve joined a war for a week before realising you were totally wrong is a damning indictment of your fitness to lead the country.
I think the longer Starmer is PM the more people will realise that having a stable pragmatic PM is much better than a popularism PM.
Make politics boring again.
