In response to Starmer’s declaration of independence from Trump in relation to the Iran war - his refusal to join offensive strikes against the Islamic theocracy - his ministerial colleagues are both reassured and anxious.
I am troubled that the PM is approved of for doing the bleeding obvious. It shows how low the bar has been set, in the wake of a series of very badly judged domestic actions. For the leader of the opposition to support Trump was unsurprising, and equally predictable her U turn when it emerged how foolhardy attacking Iran was.
I once had the pleasure of meeting Yuval Harari, who said of the US in the Middle East:
It's like a card game, in which the Americans know what every player is holding, yet still lose every hand.
I feel sorry for Starmer. He is trying to keep traditional but ‘patriotic’ Labour supporters on board, appeal to the centre and centre right who can’t bear what the Tories have become, keep the support of the left and so on. He needs to do that in order not to hand power over to the Brexit voting, economy destroying, hate worshipping section of British society. Each one of the groups he is trying to cobble together dislike him because he doesn’t exclusively follow their agenda.

We should hold Ukraine very close , not just because it is the right thing to do but also because right now their armed forces are THE world leaders in drone tech, production and innovation. The tectonic plates of the post-war world have well & truly shifted.

Good to see you active on Substack Robert! Welcome.
Anyone who says “the use of Drones in this war changes everything” hasn’t been aware of what has been happening in Ukraine over the last 4 years….

Hopeless.
