I find it comical that people are adamant we should stay out of the conflict when it’s obvious Iran consider us to be involved. Terrorists are being arrested in the UK, and our military bases are under missile attack, but people still think we’re not involved. The enemy propaganda is working nicely.
You can’t catch up if you’re not participating. This isn’t our fight.
Who are these weirdos with a boner for war? Given that our ‘allies’ didn’t inform us of their intention to kick off yet another illegal war in the Middle East, I think our response has been quite measured.
I mean everyone is playing catch up because it was started out of basically nowhere and seems to be escalating without limit. Even the Americans seem to be trying to catch up with their own actions.
We dont need to be involved. Stay out of it. Defend our bases and our allies but this isnt our fight.
If they let right wing goons goad them into yet another mistake in the Middle East then they deserve everything they get.
The Labour government response is correct and appropriate – this is not our war, and the US hasn’t even confirmed their legality on the matter. UK should defend UK interests in a legal manner… Trump and Netanyahu can go f**k themselves.
How could be possibly be embarrassed. Sure the man has no shame.
Starmer is right, we shouldn’t join a war with no end game plan or clear legal basis:
>”We all remember the mistakes of Iraq, and we have learned those lessons. Any U.K. actions must always have a lawful basis and a viable thought-through plan,” Starmer said, referencing the 2003 invasion of Iraq
Imagine having to justify not joining a war with a shaky legal basis and an unclear end goal.
The UK needs to stay completely out of this. Allowing the US to use our bases for offensive operations is already a step too far. The US has plenty of bases of it’s own to use along with Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc own military air bases. They want to use ours purely as a way to drag us into yet another ill conceived illegal war without even a clear objective.
Well its not our monkey, not our circus. We’re about as uninvolved in US and Israel’s bullshit as we can be.
I don’t think it’s possible to catch up when it comes to the USA right now.
Just as you think you have it figured out Trump goes off on a tangent contradictory to what you just figured out.
“Playing catchup” – like this is some kind of game. We’re lagging behind the US and Israel’s highscores.
I wonder if the talking heads, that are so desperate to see us go to war in Iran, would have different views if their close relatives were the ones being sent to fight…
”Deputy Prime Minister, why is the UK taking longer to respond to a crisis in the Mediterranean than countries who have coastlines on the Mediterranean?”
This lot don’t do embarrassment, that is real clear.
Only 11% of the country actually supports war on Iran and I highly doubt they would get a parliamentary mandate for this anyways, so I reckon the people/parties criticising Labour for not participating will come to regret this.
Labour critics desperate to make Starmer look bad when he’s handled this as well as he possibly could
Honestly fuck nick Ferrari. We have very few decent journalists and broadcasters left. I hate being drowned out by these nasty assholes
Starmer is doing the right thing ( i cant believe im saying that) why attack a country that is yet to show us any real threat! If they do attack us, you know how it ends
Our response was the correct one. There was no legal justification for the strikes, and we have no need to get involved.
Once again the media is an embarrassment to our country – followed closely by the blood thirsty, right wing psychopaths that want to live out their wet dream of murdering brown people.
Fuck them, fuck America, fuck anyone who wants us to get involved in this.
Starmer has 100% made the right decision not to risk our own security purely for Trump’s bloodlust and America’s pathetic need for oil.
Kemi was on BBC this morning trying to attack Labour’s response and honestly she only did them favours.
She sounded completely clueless. Kept trying to force a soundbite _”catch the archer- not the arrow”_, and was even rebutted twice by the absolute softballing hosts who still called her out for saying the UK armed forces were doing nothing (whilst actively taking out drones/missiles around the clock).
British media screaming for war after 20 years of moaning about the Iraq war
It appears to me like the right wing media is intent on trying to confect a crisis over the government’s management of its response to the Trump U.S. instigated war with Iran. In an effort to further damage Starmer and the Labour Party. It’s a seriously unedifying spectacle!
