Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez doing what UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has chosen not to do, criticise the US and Israel for their attack on Iran which breached international law

One can now add Starmer to the 'go to war to try and improve the crap polls situation' malarkey.

It worked for Thatcher. The "Falklands bounce" boosted her popularity, saved her premiership, & contributed to her 1983 landslide victory.

Different times. A very different situation. Following an unpopular US president into an illegal war, is unlikely to work wonders for Starmer's dismal ratings.

It shouldn’t have happened this way

But here we are.

You send some real estate guys instead of a team with experience of nuclear negotiations & international diplomacy.

To add some spice, you ensure they too stupid to understand anything that is going on.

NEW: The Lib Dems are demanding MPs get a vote on allowing the US to use UK air bases.

Leader Ed Davey says:

“No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a slippery slope. He must not let Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East.”

I think UK is already involved.

I made the OP because of this. Yes we are now 'involved'.

Replacing Starmer is a matter of timing.

And who?

It definitely should not be not Wes Streeting or any Blue Labour nonsense.

I predict that after May's local elections, the clamour for a new Labour Leader will be deafening. Sadly, there's a lot more damage he can do before then.

"If we get involved in this war, Starmer’s name will be as trashed as Blair’s".

We are going to need a bigger trash can.

Trump logic!

Brilliant work. Keep it up.

Ukraine's air defense expertise 'irreplaceable,' Zelensky says as escalating Middle East war draws in Europe "We are not joining these strikes, but we will continue with our defensive actions in the region," U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said. "And we will also bring experts from Ukraine, together with ou...

⚡️Update: UK bringing in Ukrainian experts for help shooting down Iranian drones, Starmer says.

The U.K. will allow the U.S. to use British bases to target Iran's missile sites, Starmer said. "And we will also bring experts from Ukraine...to help Gulf partners shoot down Iranian drones."

Experts from Ukraine have plenty of drones to shoot down over Ukrainian airspace.

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

More details.

It endangers everyone.

Doesn't that endanger Cypriots?

Sadly it seems the USA will topple the regime, leave the country devastated, in utter shambles with a power vacuum & make the world more dangerous. As they have done so many times before. Impeach 🍊 for bypassing congress & contravening US constitution. He exceeded his powers & started an illegal war

Iran operations 'ahead of schedule', says Trump as Tehran hits back across region Three American service members have been killed and casualties are reported in the UAE, Israel and Kuwait as Israel and Iran continue to trade strikes.

Lindsey Graham “Our goal is to make sure (Iran) cannot become, again, the largest state sponsor of terrorism.

MTP Host: “But is there a plan? Does the president have a plan to guarantee that that happens?”

Graham: “No, it's not his job or my job to do this. How many times do I have to tell you!”

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez articulates what much of the world thinks.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Today more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

Fair point!

Microwave them then finish them in the oven.

That's the way I usually do baked spuds.
