    Timeline of Starmer’s stances throughout this war/military action:

    • USA can’t use UK Air bases such as the chagos one
    • Okay the USA can use our air bases
    • (our bases in cyprus get shot at because we allow USA to use it)
    • We don’t believe in regime change from the skies

    Yeah should have lead with that, mate. We’re about 3 days in and that’s 3 distinct stances he’s had on the war already.

      Don’t forget the statement that using the UK bases to bombard Iran is in self defense! And that is also why there is no parliament discussion or vote

    It’s like the gulf war 2 all over again. Except this time they’re not even pretending to involve the international community. They just cowboying it in.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Starmer reveals that he sought advice from god when he wanted join the war in the middle east just like Tony Blair.
