Well, I never!
It seems Sir Keir's efforts as regards Iran just simply aren't good enough for Mister President.
That's gratitude for you.

Starmer should have supported Trump, he is weak and not fit to be PM.
It takes more strength to NOT fall in line with someone who is trying to bully you into supporting his next illegal attack.

I am pleased he's not supporting Trump in these illegal activities.
Good for him.Well…he has u turned again and now he is supporting the US as UK bases can now be used by them for defence in hitting the Iran missile sites.
Only two, and only to defend them, not as an attacking strike.
And he has repeated that he is not supporting Trump's attacks.

I just hope this will see him gone.

In an international situation it is of course international law which applies. It is no use telling a foreign head of state that Uk law says they can't do that in a third country. They would laugh in your face. The fact that Trump is as likely to ignore international law as he is to ignore the constitution of his own country is not a reason for Starmer to throw away the international lawbook. He is pretty keen on UK law, too, unlike some politicians.
International Law. Let's wait and see how many other countries Iran attacks, just for the hell of it, even their next door neighbours, who had done nothing.Where was International Law, and Starmer, and the EU, when Iran thugs were murdering their own people. They cried for help, Starmer and his cronies denied them.
As soon as this evil regime has gone the better.Freya
Absolutely! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sure, Let's all pile in and bomb each other to oblivion. What fun! Just press the button and enjoy the fireworks. Who is volunteering for the suicide missions?
Or would you rather criticise everyone else for not volunteering ?
I'm not keen on Starmer Meandrogrog but I think bringing forward the end of the world in order to get rid of him would be a bit excessive.

In the opinion of everyone who has more than half a braincell and knows that he who lives by killing will die by being killed.
Being famous for taking whatever you want by force doesn't help you find support when you want that, or sympathy when your grabs don't succeed.

I think the opposite, I think it takes strength to decide not to support Trump. There have been far too many weak leaders prepared to say ‘how high?’ when Trump says ‘jump’.

Its more about how he has failed to be a strong and decisive leader, he is just not a leader.

But what if it does succeed and he rids the world of an evil regime?

I just can’t believe that anyone can think that anything involving DT will turn out well He and his SofS are giving different reasons for why they acted. There’s no plan for other the here and now or the future . And it won’t be DT and his henchmen who will suffer.
DT is so used to the bunch of sycophants in the White House who do his bidding as soon as he snaps his fingers. Well done to our PM for not doing so.
So pleased Starmer is standing his ground,he has gone up in my estimation.
Iran will just be plunged into chaos,the same as all other countries where there has been war.
I was in the British Army when it was a decent size and we had amazing military hospitals,with top notch staff and equipment.All gone now..Our Armed Forces are minimal now,we don’t need them being killed,just to feed Trumpstein’s ego.
We shouldn't be supporting draft dodging Trump in this illegal attack on Iran. We don't have to do what Trump thinks we should and we should not be supporting Netanyahu - already wanted for war crimes.
What next - Trump going to invade the Outer Hebrides and claim it as US territory?
Iranian leadership are living outside common civilised standards, as is Trump and Netanyahu. They put such a low value on human life.

I agree. And though the Iranian people must have hoped Trump and Netanyahu would liberate them I don’t think either leader are giving this as a reason for the war now. Indeed pinning down an actual reason is like knitting water. And Iranians are now trying to leave Iran due to the bombing causing a new refugee problem which I hope those who have spoken out in favour of the war will see as a humanitarian crisis which means the UK should take some of said refugees.
This is the level on which he operates, it’s quite terrifying.

How many conflicts will Trump engage in just to distract from the Epstein files and the world finding out about his behaviour with him.
Trump has changed his reasons for attacking Iran several times now! You couldn't believe a word that comes out of Trumps mouth. If anybody thinks Trump actually cares about ordinary Iranians - just look at how much help and care he has given to ordinary Palestinians - and indeed to vast swathes of people in the US.

It would have been weak and just wrong to support an illegal war. I accept we are allowing use of our bases on a defensive basis but I imagine others may see it as complicit with the US illegal war
Trump has proved himself to be erratic, to say one thing and do another, to bully, to behave like he’s running a shoddy property development company, or tv reality show, when in fact his responsibility to his country and the rest of the world is immense. He isn’t the slightest bothered by his job description, the video Casdon shared of him rambling about the drapes, his love of gold is nauseating. It gives the measure of the man
Oreo he'd agreed use for defence before I posted earlier.
I assumed we all knew that.
Sorry

How can we be absolutely sure that that is what he will do, though? He is such a loose cannon that who knows whether he will stick to what he says. I don't trust him.
Well he did remember Starmer”s name. In the clip I saw he couldn’t remember the name of the islands he’s so annoyed about.
Chagos - in case he’s on GN!
