Badenoch denies calling for UK to join US-Israeli war on Iran Conservative leader accused of taking confusing position after she said Starmer should ‘do more than catch arrows’

Keir Starmer attacks Tory leader Kemi Badenoch for “screeching u-turn” on US intervention in Iran.

“If she were Prime Minister… we would be in the war, and she would be coming back to Parliament a week later to say, oh, sorry, I got that one wrong.”

www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

Badneoch claims the Tories care about the cost of living, yet they are the ones who caused the cost of living crisis with Austerity & Welfare Cuts, rising taxes, stagnant wages, unemployment, high energy costs & public service cuts!

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.

I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.

Nigel Farage's Humiliating Iran U-Turn Should Be a Lesson for Keir Starmer By sticking to the correct and popular position on Donald Trump's Iran war, the Prime Minister has now forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal, argues Adam Bienkov

By sticking to the correct and popular position on Iran, even under relentless attacks from the right-wing press, Keir Starmer has forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal.

It is a lesson his Government should learn from bylinetimes.com/2026/03/10/n...

Why the capitals? They're rather shouty and offputting.

Hi Robert, quick question. Why was your leader in Mar-a-Lago, trying desperately to get an audience with the main proponent of the war, if there are “too many problems at home”?

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.
