PM appears to draw comparison between Russian and US leaders’ actions and calls for plan to restore Hormuz strait shipping
Keir Starmer has said he is “fed up” with the effect that Donald Trump’s actions in the Middle East are having on the British public, while appearing to draw a comparison between the US president and Vladimir Putin.
Speaking to ITV’s Robert Peston on Thursday, the prime minister said: “I’m fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy, businesses’ bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world.”
Starmer, who has been heavily criticised, and at times mocked, by Trump for not committing British forces to the war on Iran, also appeared to condemn Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel’s continued strikes on Lebanon, despite Iran calling for Lebanon to be included in the ceasefire that was agreed on 7 April.
Careful, he might become cross. Keep it up and he might become vexed.
That means he’ll stop supporting Israel with their genocide and other destabilising actions, right?
Man people should really stop throwing such powerful words around. There are like what, 200 dead from those strikes? I mean sure, you could say there is ongoing genocide against…hezbollah
They’re still killing people daily in Gaza, and displacing people in the west bank, despite a nominal ceasefire.
Slow down, there, speedy.
He’s going to start by sending a strongly-worded letter to Donald and proceed from there.
It’s required a court hearing to stop us from being arrested for protesting for Palestine. Starmer (and almost all others) unlikely to speak out about Israel. So far, we only have Polanski and the Green Party.
Starmer is a conceited, two-faced little shit, in my humble personal opinion. This is the idiot who led a group of 30+ countries to put pressure on Iran including threatened economic sanctions AFTER they were illegally bombed by the U.S and had needed to respond with their own actions. He is only signaling a position like this because he knows his ass is going to be burned in the next election rounds.
Yep, Spain is much more a leader than the UK at this point
It really is incredibly how much global influence both the US and UK have pissed away over the last decade or so.
How would that make any sense while Iran is being bombed by USA and Israel?
Also I never heard about that, so I guess you are misrepresenting what really happened.
What I heard was that Europe was seeking a diplomatic solution. And we are in no position to pressure Iran with sanctions in the current situation. It would be more sensible to lift sanctions to allow the strait to be opened.You hadn’t heard leads you to conclude that it’s not correct and progress to asinine comments on my post? You believe yourself to be some sort of omnipotent being?
The information is at least two or three days old (find those yourself). Indeed Starmer noted it on a report just today. See link below. Whilst watching Starmer speaking, do try to remember that he’s trying to make it sound reasoanble.

Your link says nothing of the kind. But instead it says this:
"We’ve been pulling together a coalition of countries … working on a political, diplomatic plan,
So exactly as I expected and commented, European countries are seeking a diplomatic solution, you grossly misrepresented what happened to a degree it was unrecognizable to the reality behind your claim.
You can call it asinine if you want, but you just proved that I was 100% right. And you made a false claim.
So you still didn’t check for yourself? Try this suggestion, search, check, verify. If you conclude I’m mistaken, you provide the info you rely upon to set aside my comments. Your ignorance is too much.
That’s insane, I just quoted from the article you linked to, and it does not contain anything to support your claim.
I wouldn’t bother arguing with them, they’re on .ml, so it’s a high likelyhood they are extremely anti-west and will assume the worst no matter what the source says.
I must admit I’m considering blocking those tankies, they are just too far removed from reality to have a sensible debate with.
I suggested searching for yourself as that removes your view of my bias. That must either be more effort than repeated nitpicking, or you’re a lazy thinker. I’m going with the latter given your more recent comments. Tankie? If in doubt, rather than elucidate for yourself and take away doubt why not call names.
If Starmer isn’t in the Epstein files he’s the dumbest cuck on the planet.
He’s going to be really pissed when the trade agreements negotiated post-tariffs start kicking in. Gonna wish they’d stayed in the EU.
It was ?yesterday? when it was being reported, here, how the UK had caught 3 Russian submarines mapping what undersea-infrastructure to cut, to sever the UK’s vitals??
UK’s on rickety “strength”, it seems… MUCH greater threat than merely having fuel-costs rise…
same as Canada is, after having spent the last century betting-the-farm on US being our automatic ally…
Stupid tunnel-vision indulging…
coming to bite us, soon…
