NEW: Keir Starmer reacts supportively to the US strikes on Iran.
“Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security. Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and the US has taken action to alleviate that threat.”

Starmers statement aligns with Canada and EU.
There is no 'agreement', just a statement of fact.
These 'journalists' don't work for UK, world peace or international law.
Constantly rabble rousing.
No more illegal wars. No more PMs bowing to the White House.
Independence = peace, dignity, self-determination.
#ScottishIndependence #NeverAgain #NoMoreWars
Fixed it for you. 🤪🙄🙄🙄
You have to question the motives of a journalist who would lie about this.
How does he manage to take the wrong stance on every fucking issue?!?
Fuck.
When Trump comes to the UK, best form of protest would be empty streets.
That would really hurt his ego and send our Govt. a message.
God our PM is useless.

Is this the sort of administraion you want the UK to be seen to be 'supporting' ? Never mind the crackpot facist USA lot.
This is what will define how people vote next election as they'll remember whether you grew a spine now

Errrrr ... I dunno, weeks , days, errr, what's the difference... I dunno. Nobody knows. I get confused"

Fixed that for you.
Look. Is it the course of action HE would have chosen? Or course not. But why be critical of the outcome?
You're not making sense. Stop moralising and live in the real world.
And how on earth does anyone reasonably think Iran will return to the table it never left without a retaliatory act? Trump has escalated, not alleviated.
It's not worth even trying to tell Trump the truth. No benefit in it.
But the damage is done now. Through no fault of Starmer's
Where's the win in antagonising the US by pointing out how morally reprehensible their acts are? They don't care! It'd just mean more tariffs on us. So why bother?
No
So why would he?
I'm vehemently against Israel's present actions in Gaza but drawing equivalence between Iran & Israel is stupid
But it's abundantly clear the US will continue regardless of what anyone else says. So why antagonise the vindictive orange Nazi?
Iran is an authoritarian state with restricted electoral system & religious leadership above political & commits severe human rights abuses.
And you think Iran is worse than Israel?
I said Israel represents no direct threat to the UK.
That doesn't mean I endorse their actions in any way. Far from it.
We've had several major terrorist attacks in the UK backed by Iranian money.
US policy is beyond our sphere of influence. UK safety is not.
Compare to Israel.
"Lower."
It’s a carefully crafted diplomatic statement similar to the the EU have put out.
He nether supports nor condemns
Like a good sheeple, repeating the last baseless slur you’ve heard from your echo chamber
Nice.
Maybe try reading his words…
He neither support or condemns
Same position as the EU.
Are they right wing POS too…!?
It's tacit support.
You - 'far left crank'
"Shut up, crank, and learn to enjoy the smell of burning flesh like I have"
Maybe try re-reading the thread.
That may help.
Simple questions we *need* journalists to be asking of our politicians.
If we do we're complicit.
If we don't Trump will use that to weaken support for Eastern Europe against Russia.
Misinformation and fear mongering is just lazy and irresponsible journalism.

Does UK Govt accept that this is an act of self-defence, and that Iran posed an imminent military nuclear threat to Israel and US ? https://theconversation.com/are-israels-actions-in-iran-illegal-could-it-be-called-self-defence-an-international-law-expert-explains-259259
It’s the same as every other cautious and bland response to the situation.
“Well if I was at work I’d say”
The fuck you would
Human rights lawyer my arse.
Fuck them and fuck genocide apologists. They take our vote and keep sucking gammon dick on our behalf.
Let Reform win, I hope they completely bury Labour and Tories.
Is that what we are now? Is that what you accept?
No. They'll be exactly the same.
Problem is you know Labour are irredeemably awful and this is the only reaction you have left.
Soon it’ll be “the only way we can stop the rise of fascism in the U.K. is to start putting up concentration camps and sending foreigners there”.
I hated Twitter because of the right-wingers but I actually loathe BlueSky because of the centrists.
The way to beat Reform is to oppose them, not to offer watered down versions of their policies
Has he haste Parliament or his population what they think of Israel and American actions?
I for one do not support this. Iran were at the negotiating table. Now they know there is no point negotiating.
Mainstream news usually likes to bothsides things.
There is no 'agreement', just a statement of fact.
WE👏🏻DON'T👏🏻 BELIEVE 👏🏻YOU👏🏻
I wonder....
This isn’t journalism. This is drivel.
It’s the Daily Mail in grown up clothes.
No they're not. I have no idea what your agenda is, but Labour government is indistinguishable from Tory government.
And the cranks lap up up like MAGA morons believing Trump when he says “other countries pay the tarrifs”.
The guardian is right wing rag since it changed ownership.
I would be shocked if he ever did the right thing, even once.
Pathetic little shit
Apart from anything else Trump was acting illegally according to the American constitution
Not forgetting " 2 weeks" lies
Seems like allies are falling for this

There is no 'agreement', just a statement of fact.
Or just can't be bothered to do your job?
He will destroy us....
I don’t think his stance of cosying up to Trump will end well for him
Bit like a puzzle, Palantir, Musk, Eric Schmidt formerly Google, spent time assisting USA defence, also wrote a book with Henry Kissinger.
Journo’s phones hacked by Pegasus. All appears planned.
The U.K. should have nothing to do with the Zionists war!
🇺🇸🇮🇱
For once Starmer should put Britain before Labour Friends of Israel!
😡💥🔥💥

When I worked in media that kind of lazy supposition and plain bitching used to infuriate me. Then I realised some people just borrow ideas, or whine for the hell of it. It's a lazy excuse for shouting. Some do love to moan. Any excuse will do.
Please elaborate and then think about what the reaction would be from those who already have nukes.
There is a reason why no one uses nukes …..
Do you also trust Putin not to smuggle lethal weapons/chemicals into other countries to kill vast numbers of people?
Cities like Salisbury for example.

Whether that was necessary or even would the USSR have caught up is moot (but likely).
Does MAD work or is it sufficiently awful to convince that it can't be done a little?
High altitude bombing of nuclear material has its own risks.

Feeling embarrassed by him is worse. Embarrassed for him, worse still. We already have enough British politicians kowtowing to that fascist oaf.
There is no 'agreement', just a statement of fact.
just opinions
The USA is in violation of every international law governing the starting of wars. They should be condemned for it.
Stomach should seek advice from other politicians in Westminster before doing anything, otherwise he’s just as bad as Bliar!
