Don't do it Starmer. He's not worth it!
We lose out either way.
He needs to stand firm with France.
Heβs playing politics. Heβs probably not that bothered either way - but will hammer them if they donβt and blame them if the strait remains closed.
Last week Trump said he didn't need Britain's help because he'd already won this war. So we mustn't let him push the UK around now.
Any decision on the deployment of our Armed Forces should be made in the UK's national interest and subject to a vote in Parliament.
If Trump wants more than strategic advice from Europe on the Strait of Hormuz, the price should be a gigantic US military aid package for Ukraine to compensate for the additional oil revenue Russia is receiving due to the Iran War.
Military aid. Not defence contracts paid by Europe.
And somehow it's Starmer's fault.
25% and I won't pee in your G&T.

Itβs not that the US doesnβt care about the deaths of Iranian girls, exactly. Itβs just that the media, politicians, and the public pretty clearly care about other things more. - Noah Berlatsky

Agree, a helpful, poignant perspective. "There has always been infighting among Iranians in the diaspora. The community has never been monolithic. It spans monarchists and leftists, secular nationalists and devout Muslims, people who left last year and people who left in 1979. What has changed...
There's no mention of deaths here.

Β«ForbrukerrΓ₯detΒ» is actually a Norwegian independent, publicly funded body that has existed since 1953. No ministry can instruct them nor remove their funds. This must be the best I ever saw released from them β part of a campaign to help people out of subscription cycles.

You see gow easy it is to groom humans? A little "i'm glad" here and an 'aww' there and we are hooked. Yes. And you just demonstrated exactly why that WSJ story should worry us. If I can do it to you β someone sharp, skeptical, who just spent twenty minutes stress-testing me β imagine what the same smooth, warm language does inside a command structure where people want to be reassured that the strike plan is solid. That's the real danger. Not malevolence. Just... frictionless confidence dressed up as care. Thank you for calling it out.
