I thought this last night but things have already moved on. Starmer isn’t going it alone on this.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

It’s not just Starmer going it alone.

This is idiotic

fwiw there is never going to be a good answer to the question "what should a UK government do faced with a mad US President given frightening levels of powers by his own party?"

Attaque israélo-américaine en Iran : les représailles iraniennes sur les monarchies du Golfe placent ces régimes face à un dilemme Les souverains de la péninsule arabique sont confrontés à un choix cornélien entre la poursuite de leur politique d’apaisement vis-à-vis de Téhéran, qui a montré ses limites, et un plus grand aligneme...

E3 leaders are appalled by the indiscriminate and disproportionate missile attacks launched by Iran against countries in the region, including those who were not involved in initial US and Israeli military operations. Iran's reckless attacks have targeted our close allies and are threatening our service personnel and our civilians across the region. We call on Iran to stop these reckless attacks immediately. We will take steps to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, potentially through enabling necessary and proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran's capability to fire missiles and drones at their source. We have agreed to work together with the US and allies in the region on this matter.

Statement from the E3 - UK, France and Germany:

War in Middle East live: France, UK, Germany ready to ‘take action’ to defend interests against Iran British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said in a joint statement Sunday they are ready to work with the US and partners to help stop...

Looks like it’s not just the UK doing this:

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.

Le QG des Gardiens de la révolution iraniens détruit, la guerre menace d'embraser le Moyen-Orient Le Quartier général des Gardiens de la révolution iraniens a été détruit, dimanche, par des frappes américano-israéliennes. Donald Trump les a une nouvelle fois appelé à "déposer les armes" alors que les États-Unis ont déploré leurs premières victimes. De son côté, Téhéran a continué à mener des frappes de représailles sur les pays du Golfe, laissant craindre un embrasement régional.

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.”

A PSA from Thomas Massie:

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.”

Whatever we all think of Starmer and I’m as exasperated as the next person at the stupid, sometimes unforgivable mistakes.

He always has the best interests of our country.

Giving voters the right to have a say on an MPs defection is vital to restoring trust in our politics - and isn’t that exactly what the government has pledged to do?

Appeal court rejects latest challenge to adding VAT to UK private school fees Parents opposing plans told they can home school their children if they object to sending them to state schools The court of appeal has rejected the latest challenge to the addition of VAT to private school fees, telling parents they have the option to home school their children if they object to sending them to state schools. The appeal was launched by families and leaders of four independent Christian faith schools, aiming to overturn a high court ruling last year by arguing that the decision to add 20% to fees would make small faith schools “unviable” and unaffordable, depriving children of their rights to an equivalent education.
