Badenoch gives a borderline disgraceful performance at PMQs on Iran
At times like this you have to thank your lucky stars that the opposition leader is not in Downing Street
Badenoch turned PMQs into a battle between Keir Starmerβs sanity and her distorted reality of an angry teenager
Kemi Badenoch and her colleagues might lambast the government for not signing up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran from the very start, public opinion tends to be more on the side of Starmer.
Badenoch has always been pro Israel. She is very unsympathetic over the plight of the Palestinians.

That is the special relationship in action. Sharing intelligence every day to keep our people safe. That is the special relationship in action.
Hanging on to President Trumpβs latest words is not the special relationship.β

βThe American planes are operating out of British bases,β Starmer said. βThat is the special relationship in action. British jets are shooting down drones and missiles to protect American lives in the Middle East on our joint bases.......

One soldier was told that βPresident Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran',
US strikes on Iran triggered by Israelβs plan to launch attack, Rubio says.
So.....if Israel had not attacked, the US would not have either?
This is all Bshit. It now looks like the US is saying they were drawn into war, but it wasn't their fault.

Trump has trapped himself in his war with Iran by announcing that his intention is regime change. That objective is linked to his most urgent objective at home. Pursuing regime change in Iran, he is attempting to stop regime change through the midterm elections.

Starmer had done it again.
He invited a convicted rapist and a paedophile to a state visit to the UK.
Now, he is enabling that same convict rage an illegal war on Iran in which war crimes are being committed.
Schools are being targeted. Many children are being slaughtered
