In the biggest takedown of a British Prime Minister in many decades, President Trump has not held back his increasing frustration with Sir Keir Starmer.
“This is not Winston Churchill we’re dealing with.”
He is right. In fact Starmer is the opposite of Churchill. He won’t act courageously, and he certainly won’t defend British interests if that means some human rights lawyer somewhere might get annoyed.
After several Iranian drones were fired at British military bases on Cyprus, Starmer has leapt into action and is sending ONE ship with TWO helicopters there to defend our interests. It should take about a week. In the meantime …well, tough times for Brits on Cyprus.
I saw that the Italians have called the Iranian ambassador in to complain about the attacks on Cyprus. The UK has thus far not bothered to take that action. I see that the entire EU has banned the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, calling them a terrorist group. The UK has refused to do this.
At every stage, Sir Keir Starmer seems absolutely determined to adopt a neutral position in this conflict with a particular emphasis on keeping good relations with British muslims. Here is is in Westminster last night at an end of Ramadan event.
There were a few things he said that struck me with a chill.
“I want to make clear that the UK was not involved in the offensive strikes carried out by the U.S. and Israel.”
and
“We are a community of communities and Muslims are at the forefront of Great Britain’s story – and you see that represented so powerfully”
He seems utterly captured by the need to appease Muslims – his core voting base. As we saw at Gorton and Denton, with that base, Labour loses. He shamelessly kowtows to them and if that means us losing our special relationship with the USA, so be it.
Starmer IS an unreliable ally. Starmer is a moral coward and a political hypocrite.
Where Churchill offered blood sweat and tears as a route to victory, Starmer cowers and indulges an enemy within.
How can we survive three more years of this?
